Your video is wonderful. You are a wonderful teacher! I just got the book from Parker and it is very good as well. Thank you for posting it!

+Jorge Luiz Cuono Thanks for watching, and for your kind words. Very encouraging. And remember that literary theory and criticism are not an end in themselves. The important thing, always, is to enjoy the literature for its own sake.

Thanks so much , I started following your videos and I will for sure recommend them for my friends , unfortunately the book how to interpret literatre by robert is not available where I live .I am from Algeria

[@ralphskipstevens6561]

Thanks for your kind words. And I'm sorry you can't get Parker in Algeria. What about Amazon? It's global.

[@ralphskipstevens6561]

+Rodion Raskolnikov It's good to hear from Algeria and Morocco. We Americans need the perspective of North Africa. Even in this global world we get isolated and take our way of life, e.g., buying online, for granted.
