Lit crit

[Terrance]

I've been teaching Rosenblatt and Dewey.  Mostly to teaches who teach. 
I think that lit crit has its place. This is a good place for it. 
But, I also have to keep the kids amused and so I'm a big fan of 
readers responding in any way at all. So, (open ended questions you
know) why do you think Huck and Jim are talking about the stars?
