1st Book response BLOG STYLE
I think that this book, first of all is starting to get good, but it is also starting to get weird. I think I shall write about the first parts of the book and some parts that stumped me and I had to take notes, summeraize and re read before i understood.
On page 91 in Song Of Solomon, i had to do just that. First of all I took detailed notes on another sheet of paper for this entire section. But this page confused me a little and I had to the read the passage " She was the therd beer. Not the first one, which the throat recives with almost trearful gratitude; nor the second, that confirms and extends the pleasure of the first. But the third, the one you drink beacuse its there, beacuse it cant hurt, and beacuse what difference does it make?
At first I had no idea so I tried to imagine this. Like when you are thirsty and you finally get something to drink. But I still could not just imagine it, so I tried it (with soda, not beer hah) and I realized what he meant. The first is really great that you want another, so you have another and its pretty good, but then the third one's sitting in the fridge and looks tempting to you drink it beacuse its there. That method of trying something for myself helped me understand the meaning of the text.
