I'm so glad to see how interested you are in the Pekar book. As Israel and Palestine are frequently in the news, I think it's useful to take a look at how a writer like Pekar makes sense of his waning sense of support for "the Israel his parents promised him." I hope we can continue the discussion as we finish up with our course!
I've been very impressed with our class discussions this term. My apologies if I haven't always posted on everything you've written (I have a tiny, very demanding baby at home, which is part of why I am teaching online, instead of in-person, as I usually would), but I've been keeping up with reading your discussions and have been so impressed.
Please don't forget to be in touch over the next week or so about your final papers if you'd like feedback or help! Also: don't forget to create and post your extra credit projects if you'd like them to count toward your grade or get feedback from me or the class.
If you are interested, I am teaching a face-to-face upper level undergrad Capstone seminar on comics in the English department. It will be similar to this course, reading-wise, but with different materials and face-to-face interaction! I saw that a few of you had already signed up, but there are some spaces left, I believe. It's fun teaching online, but I have enjoyed meeting some of you in office hours and will enjoy being back in the classroom!
