Karen J. Weyant replied to the discussion 'The Bluest Eye!' in the group Whatcha Readin'?
"I taught The Bluest Eye last semester, and I have to say that my students felt that all the mother figures were negative. I tried to get them to talk about the mother figures in context of class issues, and a few of my students mellowed a bit. But…"

Karen J. Weyant commented on the group 'Whatcha Readin'?'
"I liked both The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Let the Right On In -- although I found the latter one very disturbing. I just finished the Story of Edgar Sawtelle -- I liked it, but there was a big part of me that thought it could used some…"

"I loved The Road and am currently wading through The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. However, I just got done reading The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist -- it's sorta like The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood."

Karen J. Weyant replied to the discussion 'What We Write About When We Write a Blog Post' in the group Bloggers: Let's Make It Work!
"I tend to write about what I'm reading (poetry, nonfiction, fiction, whatever -- I read a bit about everything). Since I read a lot about working-class studies, some of my posts are geared towards class issues in history, literature and…"

Karen J. Weyant commented on the group 'Writer, PhD*'
"Hi everyone -- I'm happy to have found this group. I have a Master's in English degree and teach at a community college -- which makes me part of the fuzzy no man's land in academics. So many people have told me to move on to a four…"
