Steve said...: Am i the only one having trouble picking out the heroes journey for scout. this was really well written almost to well to pick out the journey . I see scout growing up but i can't put my finger on the call.; July 12, 2010 at 4:37 PM
Dave M. said...: I agree with you, Steve, it is not as obvious as in "Smoke Signals"; I think it is much more spread out and underlying. I still have much more reading to do before I can put my finger on it!
I appreciate how Mr. Peters keeps the class involved with discussion, ideas on boards, etc. Maybe I'm just happy to be back at school (its been a long time), but it seems he does a pretty good job.; July 13, 2010 at 9:25 AM
