And it begins...................................

This blog is for a class at UCO. this past week the book to read was "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce. I am late getting this blog started, but posting shuold be much easier to keep up. I did not enjoy the book, I did however, feel very sorry for Joyce after reading his biography. He was a man torn between not two worlds but three. One was the Catholic world, one was the Irish world, and the thrid was his fantasy world. None of them could be reconnciled. I think he was a man who tried ot follow his convictions, but had trouble sorting them out.
