Hello world!

Hello Class, I am finally “on board” this new blogging world.

I must say I enjoyed Moll Flanders despite its portrayal of a dark time for women and its long narrative style. Yes, it is repetitious but always with a new creative twist. I think that Defoe had a field day with this story and used all his artistic talents of language and his knowledge of the political, social and judicial system at the time. I did think the husband/brother issue and Moll’s meeting of her mother-in-law who was in fact her actual mother a little bit too far fetched. I found that this pulled me out of the story rather than into it. Moll’s continuous reflections give insight into her thought procerss and her moral judgements about her actions and those of others.

PS Thank you Amber and Destiny for your informative presentation today.
