Awesome lecture professor Beasley-Murray! Loved when you made a drink in the middle of the questions haha! This really helped me come to my own conclusions on the text, even if it was not the most positive. Somewhat wish I had an audiobook of you reading one of our are texts in class because you make it more enjoyable 😭Thanks again ! - Franchesca Jolicoeur

Don't hold your breath for an audiobook, ha!

I thought it was an interesting point on whether reading a physical copy of the novel or an online version, such as a pdf, changes our view of the book. I think if I had read a physical version of this novel I would have been able to relate to "you" more so following the authors directions. -Isabella Sousa
