Treasure Island Post

Young Jim, our narrator, is very careful to give us details about what he sees and hears. Because he renders those observations is such detail, readers tend to believe that the details he provides are reliable. However, Jim is young and inexperienced. He seems to have particular trouble interpreting the motivations of people he meets. Please post examples of Jim's youth and inexperience under the comments to this post.

September 2009

I'd like you to write about what books you are reading at home. As you read, please take the time to open this website and write two paragraphs at least once every other week. The first paragraph should tell me what is happening in the book you are reading. The second should detail how you feel about the book. Your grade will be based on how often you post. By the end of the trimester, I'd expect at least 5 posts.
