What I have done is taken two blog entries from the same story: The Yellow Wallpaper. I have taken one blog from when I was a freshman, and another blog from this year’s American Literature course. I feel that these essays are written from two completely different people. I am going to leave both of these with you, and hopefully you feel the same way. —Jason Pugh —How I’ve Grown…..

I had Jay for an “Intro to Literary Study” course his freshman year, and he’s now a junior who’s finishing up my American Lit I course. This blog entry illustrates his growth admirably. That’s an unplanned, but not particularly surprising, side-effect of giving students individual blogs that they can keep when the class is over.
