Good evening bloggers,
Carla and I will be sharing our presentation with all of you tomorrow on the fabulous Nellie Bly. Here are the excerpts that we've selected for discussion:
Ten Days in a Mad-House
- Chapter I : A Delicate Mission
- Chapter XV: Incidents of Asylum Life
- Chapter XVI : The Last Good-Bye
Around the World in Seventy-Two Days
- Chapter I: A Proposal to Girdle the Earth
- Chapter III: Southampton to Jules Verne's
- Chapter XVI: Across the Continent
Some of the chapters are a little lengthy but if you could read at least one from each book that would really help us out during discussion.
Here are two links to blogs which we thought could be Nelly Bly's modern blogging counterparts:
This blog is written by women and it discusses social justice and equal rights with a strong emphasis on changing people's attitudes and raising awareness of issues.
My Life's a Trip
Is a blog written by a mainstream journalist who uses a plain, direct, style of writing as well as multimedia to chronicle her travels.
See you all in class tomorrow!
A useful tip: Press Ctrl+F to find the passages quickly. For example, if you wanted to search for Chapter III of Around the World in Seventy-Two Days (and you do)--just click Ctrl+F, then type in "Chapter III." You'll jump to the right part of the text without having to scroll.
