In the afternoon, our seminar discussion focussed on themes from All Quiet on the Western Front. In particular, I was most impressed with the connections you were all making between the text and historical events of the past and the present.
I mentioned this on Carolina Jiminez' blog, www.carolinaj.blogspot.com , but I believe indifference to be one of humanity's most dangerous instincts. We respectfully argued in class whether or not indifference is in fact a human instinct.
Emily, www.specklefish.blogspot.com , has drawn some excellent connections on her blog between the nature of animals and the nature of humans, particularly in times of war. I encourage you to post comments on my blog and each other's blogs this weekend and keep the class conversation alive! Have a great weekend. See you Monday.
