Extra credit post

So you know those links to the right that offer wonderfully insightful information on the texts we're examining? Well, I'm inviting your wonderfully insightful comments on a couple of them for extra credit. For a one hundred point quiz grade, either read "Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero," or listen to the KCRW interview with McEwan and post a 200 word response. In your response, please focus on McEwan's description of the media coverage following 9/11, paying particular attention to the way in which he describes and imagines the effect mass images had on individual psyches. Can you relate anything McEwan says to Perowne's experiences in Saturday? To receive extra creidt, post your response by 11:59PM Sunday, 17 February.
