I want to kiss the ground and run outside and hug some trees because this week is O-V-E-R. It wasn’t the readings that made this week rough(they were actually great) it was the writing!

Week Two Readings
This week, I read The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Shadow, The Killers, and Dopamine Agonistes. One aspect of noir that I’ve noticed from these readings has to do with the way the stories begin.
