The Gulf

As if Kate Chopin hadn't done a considerable amount to bring New Orleans to my mind, news of the oil spill has focused my attentions firmly on the delta. This class is mentally exhausting me. I've read another three articles relating to Kate Chopin and nature. Each one seems to be written from a different theoretical perspective. This seems to be a result of the novel's popularity. While it is exciting to work on a novel that has been so widely considered it is also daunting. With so many voices in the conversation I am beginning to feel bewildered.
