2. Daisy Miller

Post by Monday, Sept. 8.

1. Read Henry James's Daisy Miller.

2. Post a blog entry about the story, preferably as it relates to the theme of travel. Here are some blog ideas: (1) Just write about your thoughts on the story.  (2) Read a commentary or background essay about the story and discuss it in your blog; if it's an online article, make a link to it.  See the About the Readings page for a list of articles. (3) Do a little research and provide some helpful information, e.g., something about the places mentioned in the story, something about Henry James, etc. (again, make a link to your source).  (4) Relate the link to something in the news—e.g., check the travel news page on the website for starters.  (5) If you have a personal experience that's relevant (e.g., you've visited a place mentioned in the story), write about that.

3. Include an image with your blog post.  Help finding images on the net can be found here, and the instructions for posting images can be found by clicking on the Help link.

4. Post a comment on someone else's blog.
