Welcome...and initial guidelines...

This blog will be used in the spring of 2008 by 80+ students at Drexel University to investigate the effects of Iraq on culture and the reverse. Our goal will be to better understand why the US is in Iraq, and to question whether literature can help us on this journey.

Weekly plans and other materials will always be posted in Vista, not this blog. So go to Bb Vista to get the discussion prompts and other instructions.

I intend this blog to manage our discussions and track our collective investigation.

You should have received an email from me inviting you to become a contributor to this blog. The email was sent Monday afternoon to your official Drexel email address.

Bartleby and War?

So after reading this week's assigned blog, I began to question how Bartleby was connected to the war. After thinking for a while only one possible connection came to me. The owner of the scrivener's office tried to help Bartleby as much as he could. He offered him money, he offered him a place to stay, he tried to give him his job back, and he tried to get him good meals while he was in jail. This like the USA in Iraq. We are trying to set up their government, provide aide, and prevent the problems from happening.I feel that this is the only way that the two could be connected.
