This is interesting to me also. I have been reading Corbett on Style and thinking about Shakespeare lately. I am trying to pull my thoughts into a post about style but they are watery.

Corinne, do your students watch all these lectures? How do they handle them? I enjoyed the earlier ones, but I felt that I was channeling my inner English major and that students would glaze over if not similarly bent. ;-)

Well, I tried this with my rhetoric students, using a base clause from the lecture (they sat...)and had some wonderful results! And we had fun with it, too!

I'm chuckling as I this gives me further insight as to why this workshop has been so good for my son: he makes his own lunch and unless I instruct or provide otherwise he'll make the same lunch most everyday: a cheese sandwich. Many days he doesn't even bother to add condiments :)

I just left you an award on my blog. Come pick it up! (There is no obligation to reciprocate, but I wanted you to how much I appreciate you!)

I love that quote and always think it belongs to Peterson. My dad uses Run with the Horses and A Long Obedience as Bible Studies to do with the boys when they visit him.

But really EE and FN???

Cindy from Dominion Family said I had to read this quote, so I obeyed. :o) She was right, it was awesome. Thank you for posting it, I'm printing it out to place somewhere in my home.

WOW! Absolutely wonderful quote. It also explains why I went back to blogging and reminds me of the parable of the talent.

2008-12-03T16:10:00.000-05:00

Cindy, this is wonderful!!! I have a real "thing" for being able to hear authors talk about their work. Listening to her talk, in her sweet southern voice, about "the grotesque" is interesting!

Next week my middle-schoolers are going to hear Wilson Rawls. His story is not grotesque, but beautiful and heartwarming.

I enjoyed reading that, Cindy. Thanks.

Great point, Cindy. Why wait until confrimation/refutation to learn this skill? I'll have to give it a try, should I ever take over my composition class again!

Thanks for taking the time to read it, Norm. I'm honored. :-) I think you make a good point. I suppose the pro-life/anti-war position would be held by Mennonites, Brethren, Amish types, but they're not the usual candidates, are they?! :-) Rudy Giuliani would be a viable pro-choice pro-war candidate, but I'm glad he's not in the running!

2008-11-01T14:07:00.000-04:00

Thank you for your vibrant argument! You make some very good points! But I wonder if the argument doesn't pose a false dilemma. That is, the argument seems to assume a situation where an anti-abortion/anti-just war candidate might be pitted against a pro-abortion/pro-just war candidate. But I can't think of a single presidential race since the passage of Roe v. Wade that presented that kind

I do feel your pain, Cindy! This sounds like a very daunting, tedious task and I am very impressed with how much you are able to do on your own. Allah ya'tik il'afia (May God preserve your strength.)

2008-10-15T18:01:00.000-04:00

I have just fixed this to read as it should, "Whether....pro-life candidate." How I got pro-choice in there I'll never know! :-)

Beautiful! I'm going to read this book again.

I did also rejoice over the moonlight! What a sweet gift the Lord gave us during those dark nights in the country. Thanks for sharing your blog post with me, Cindy. - Laura

Who knew we'd be fellow hurricane victims - so many miles apart?
