Post Number Six.

A general thesis blog post, in which you cover the following:

1. what you read since your last post, specified with titles and page numbers
2. a short plot summary of what you read in those pages
3. an analysis of theme or style in which you develop ideas for your paper

At this point in your blog, you need to be explicitly discussing paper ideas and/or challenges. Remember, the writing process must begin before the reading process ends.

Last wednesday (as in last week, not two days ago) I went to the library and picked up a copy of "Wise blood" and promptly read to chapter 7 by the time Monday rolled along. (Roughly the first 155 pages.)
So far, the novel focuses on Hazel Motes, a man everyone is convinced is a preacher. This annoys him to the point where he decides to form the church of "The Church Without Christ".
He believes the only way to find redemption is through Blasphemy, and after being belittle by a hooker he had been sleeping with, decides the best way to gain followers is to preach in the streets. He meets young man named Enoch Emery, a zoo guard and a relatively annoying guy who follows his "wise blood " rather then rational though. Hazel and Enoch also meet a Blind Preacher and his daughter. Hazel is annoyed by their devout faith in Christ, and challenges the preacher to a battle of faiths to see who can turn their opponent's faith first.
Hazel Makes it his point to get his "Church without Christ" off the ground, and to try and seduce the Preacher's Daughter.
What he doesn't realize is that The preacher's blindness isn't real, and that Hazel is about to embark on a comedic and psychologically bizarre journey into the basis of faith.

At least, that's what I WOULD write I knew how it ended. But there are so many directions the story can take at this point, that I don't know if this "journey into faith" is plausible or not. I'll update this again over the break.
