| photograph by Andre Kertesz: Man Reading (with cow), Paris, 1928 | |
Who is that guy, above, reading with that cow looking over his shoulder? I have no idea. But if you wish to learn more about Andre Kertesz (1894-1985), the photographer (of the picture, above, and those below), see the page for the
PBS Americian Masters. and go to a great page blogger of
photographer Erick Kim has devoted to Kertesz. The
Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College in Chicago has an extensive Kertesz biography and archive.

shakespeare's language is very difficult to a 2nd language learner like me professor McCabe....
ReplyDeleteI am scared of the quiz if it will be on the key line..because the style of speech is different than English language today, so I'm afraid I can't remember the line though.
anyway still trying hard to read, but I took ur advice and read the online synopsis and the story is very fun and I think a little more interesting than Romeo and Juliet!
Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteShakespeare's language is difficult for first language learners, as well. Still, I have found it worth the effort. It sounds like you have spent some time with Hamlet, the story and its language, and that is good. I think you'll enjoy the class that much more tomorrow morning. I hope you do.

The "Second Avenue, New York City, Man reading in antique store, 1969" is one of my favorites!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll take you up on those tickets!( just sent you and email)!!!
Elva,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you like the photograph. Andre K. knew how to point and click.
Chief will be carefully reviewing all movie ticket drawing entries this weekend. Stay tuned for the results.

Yay!!
ReplyDeleteElva,
ReplyDeleteBe sure to ask me for the tickets on Thursday. Sorry I didn't give them to you today.
--Christopher McCabe
professor McCabe,
ReplyDeleteI have only one friend's number. I text her to ask what we did on Wed(4/13) class, but it turned out to be the wrong number. Other than missing the final scene from Hamlet where Hamlet dies, is there anything else I missed?
Regards,
Kimberly J.
Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteYou're OK. We spent most of our time on Hamlet and did read a poem, "Death be not Proud," by John Donne. But that was it. We'll get to Joyce and Hemingway readings on the Monday we return from spring break.
Sorry about the delay in responding.
