Deconstruction
I am really glad we discussed deconstruction in class yesterday. I have never written a paper using this method, so we shall see how well (or not well) I do. I think I'm going to write about the binary of imprisonment and freedom in "Story of an Hour." I think there are some great example, for instance she feels free when she is next to the window, yet as soon as she goes back down the staircase (stairs, surrounded by a case? A case is like a prison...hmmm) and it is after she leaves her window that she becomes back to being imprisoned. She sees her husband and her whole new outlook has been shattered.She then escapes imprisonment, this time by way of death. Dr. Hollingsworth did a great job explaining it yesterday, and my ENG 205 book gives some tips on deconstruction papers. I'll be looking for a few more binaries to throw in too.
