Coverage:
Since the beginning of 2011, these are the blogs I have accumulated, dealing with the subject of existentialism. The majority of these blogs deal with three novels- Hunger (Hamsun), Metamorphosis (Kafka), and The Stranger (Camus). Other related articles are mentioned. Enjoy.

Depth:
Gregor needs his family and his family needs him- or do they?
I felt that in this blog I came up with a different idea that contrasted with many other students. Also, I explored something that started with one sentence in my head that transformed into something much more complicated. What I liked about this blog was that the idea became a discussion not only on my blog but one that I could bring to others as well.

Making My Way Through Existentialism
While this wasn't a reply to someone else's blog, I wrote this after we discussed Sisyphus' story in class. A sort of continuation of that discussion/debate, I brought in the whole class' idea on the subject and agreed and questioned different parts. I've tried to give some of the individuals credit for their ideas, although I think the class as a whole developed the majority of the interpretations. This was more of a reply to the entire class- and Nina and Elizabeth were helpful enough to clear up some parts for me and further discuss ideas.
Discussion:
Interpretation of Absurdity
This blog sparked up an exploration of the Kafka movie and Metamorphosis between Elizabeth and me. I especially liked our conversation as we debated my ideas. What I first proposed was examined and questioned to result in a deeper understanding of the two "Kafkaesque" stories.
Xenoblogging:
Self-Respect
What I like about Julie's blog is that she almost always manages to connect it everyday life. This always keeps things real and meaningful, and so I was able to comment a lot on her blog. We started off having different viewpoints of Kafka's novel, and ended up really analyzing and contrasting the characters- especially Gregor and his father. Two quite different characters who have similar roles in the family. Anyways, I think we both understand the novel more now and even have a connection to our lives as well.
Wild Card:
Light vs. Darkness
This was an idea I had always been interested in after I read The Stranger. Since we hadn't blogged on it yet, I thought it was a good idea to set my thoughts straight about the novel itself. Also, I find the subject intriguing, and I may do my essay on this.
