Response to the D109 tutorial group presentation by Sunshine:

Looking at the cover of Hey Nostradamus! I agree that it can represent different aspects of Jason before and after the massacre. What I found particularly interesting was that you were able to find an explanation for the head to be detached from the body. While I would not have picked up on the idea on my own, I completely agree with you that the body could represent Jason in the real world with his head representing his as a person.

Reading through your blog entry I have to agree with you completely in that I find All Tomorrow’s Parties to be a challenging book to read. When the story shifts between characters I have to hardest time trying to figure out what is supposed to be going on now. Initially looking at the book I thought it would be a relatively easy read however I found myself agreeing with you that is was definitely a challenging novel that was hard to get into.

Watching your presentation I have to admit that I was intrigued especially that you seeing that you looked into the preface. While we did discuss its value quite frequently during class I would have never though to try to understand the passage in its original context. Also, I felt that comparing the characters to this passage was interesting. I do agree with you that Jason does change a great deal while Reg seems to struggle back and forth with the events that take place throughout his life.
