Re: Is the quoted passage an example of Stream of Consciousness or is it idiosyncrasy of James Joyce?

I did a review of Ulysses on my channel, stating the main themes and the message as I perceive it.
I hope you do watch it and give me comments.
Ulysses is dense but I tried my best after being on it for a week.

Re: To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapters 7 - 12

Notes for chapter 11 I am enjoying it so far. Harper Lee has successfully painted not only the views of the folks of Maycomb county about persons who fall out of line but also how they regard negroes. It is a racist county, this Maycomb county. Mrs. Dubose, whom Atticus admires personifies what he d...

First, when Jem is given an air rifle, he tells Jem that he could shoot any living bird he finds but never to kill a mockingbird. Ms. Maudie tells her that mockingbirds are the most adorable of birds. They...

Re: Is the quoted passage an example of Stream of Consciousness or is it idiosyncrasy of James Joyce?

That is the beauty of James Joyce. Sometimes, you think he is just rambling and other times he is a genius.
Someone recommended I read his work and I chose Ulysses also. I intend reviewing it next week.

Re: To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapters 7 - 12

Notes on chapter 9 [/b] Harper Lee is beginning to set the tone for the conflict in the novel. Scout cannot keep her cool when she hears her father being called a "niger lover," because he wants to defend a negro against the Ewells. Atticus tells her that it is his duty to defend anyone w...

Re: To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapters 7 - 12

Notes on chapter 8 Harper Lee gives us a look into the nature of Boo Radley. For the first time, the children, Scout and Jem, have contact with Boo Radley but they did not see or notice him. When there is a fire on Ms. Maudie's house and because it was cold, he walks silently to them and puts a bla...

Re: To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapters 7 - 12

Notes for chapter 7 [/b] In a little twist to the tale, it seems someone in the Radley household has realized the children are interested in them. On their way to school, someone drops gifts for them - chewing gums, toys etc, which they gladly pick from a hole in a tree. But the day the kids, Scout...
