Thanks for the input, and its good to be back. :) I find it interesting that you prefer Wuthering heights to Jane Eyre. I'm exactly the opposite. :) I didn't find there to be much passion in heathcliff and Catherine's…

Hey, glad to "see" you again, Grace.
I haven't read WH in years, but I can tell you my first and persistent response: I love this novel.
It's a wild Gothic tale focused on a complex anti-hero (Heathcliff) and his passionate…

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Assuming most of you scholars have read this classic, i would like to pose a question or two to the public concerning this novel. I personally read it a few weeks ago, before christmas actually, and now my AP English class is starting it. I personally didn't sit well with most of the characters, especially Heathcliff and Catherine, and was worried that i was suppose to really enjoy the book. But then we read some early reviews...The early reviews of the book said mostly the same thing; that the…See More

Favorite literary character-- Edmund Dantes. From my favorite book The Count of Monte Cristo--by Alexander Dumas, who also wrote the Three Musketeers... (although I do love Holden Caulfield as well)

I love Bartleby. The moose thing made me smile! Love in nature-- I've found that to be common. As in poets use nature analogies, writers from centuries ago, songs captivate that sense too. . . Maybe it's something we inherently identify…

Bartleby--great example. "I'd prefer not to." The Dead Letter Office. For what it's worth, I've often thought of Bartleby as Melville's image of himself as an exhausted, "failed" writer--cut…

Thank you. I have written many poems on different perceptions of love. . .
I like your words for it. And your connection of all those- brilliant!! The alienation is startling and so intriguing in these novels- something we never tire of reading…
Ken Egan replied to Grace Hein's discussion 'Philosophy in Education'
You define love beautifully, both in your own words and through Saint-Exupery. Love can take any number of forms, but for me it returns to the words I use above: affiliation, connection, a sense of place. I'd add a sense of…
Grace Hein replied to Lisa Simon's discussion 'The Power of Poetry - Part 2, "Dulce Et Decorum Est"'
Just a thought- If anyone has read All Quiet on the Western Front, by Remarque, this is what the Latin reminds me of. The extra oomph from professors and scholars, who try and glorify an Iron Youth. But they did not know what they were talking…
Grace Hein replied to Grace Hein's discussion 'Philosophy in Education'
Thank you, Ken, for the article.
Freud said that our lives are about love and work. What is love? I am at a young and influential age, and this word being a motivation in living is not a surprise to me, but a puzzler. I have a grasp on the love of…
Ken Egan replied to Grace Hein's discussion 'Philosophy in Education'
Freud said that our lives are about love and work. Not sure I can do much better than that. We need affiliation, connection, a sense of place brought by the bonds of love. We also need purpose--what can we do to make a difference…

"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." ~Friedrich Nietzsche
Has anyone actually found their own why? Or is it simply sorting through others' "whys" and piecing together our own? There had to have been first…
Grace Hein replied to Lisa Simon's discussion 'The Power of Poetry - Part 2, "Dulce Et Decorum Est"'
Fantastic. Love the poem. Well written insight. Just a few thoughts and questions that I had. . .
Is this the condemnation of war, or the illumination of its vile secrets we (they) had not known? If there is a wrong, there must be a right to show it…

Kim~ You are very lucky to have met such an incredible man.
Science adjacent to religion, yet meant to be in tandem... These answers lie in the past- in history? Perfect. I must further the search. . .
Thinking about the questions makes you better…
Kim Anderson replied to Grace Hein's discussion 'Philosophy in Education'
Oh my Grace, what a huge treasure of questions you bring up!!! I'm happy you got back on the Roundtable and happy you're reading Boorstein. He was a great thinking man, one I had the honor of meeting when he was quite old. I couldn't…
