Birds, Cars and The Long Goodbye













Adaptation
We've moved into the period in my classes when we're focusing on final papers. That means I'm having individual conferences with all my students, which cuts into class time a bit. In this week's class, for example, we only had time for several students to share some of their favorite passages from Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye, which we'll discuss at length next week. One student pointed out the importance of car imagery in the novel; another noticed the bird imagery. For such a short class period, I'd say we accomplished a lot.
