I am sorry that I will have to miss class on Thursday and wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this class.  I have learned a great deal from Prof. Drouin as well as from all of you through our discussions and posts.  I now understand why Hemingway called his contemporaries "The Lost Generation" and much more.  I especially liked seeing the original WWI posters in the archives and felt that we got a real sense of what people read and were exposed to then. Absolutely loved reading Vera Brittain and her spellbinding account of her experiences during the Great War. The order of our readings led us into the next topic so easily and effortlessly. I think Dr. Drouin is an outstanding teacher who guides his students to discover their own "truths" in a piece without forcing his own opinions. But, at the same time, he navigates the obscure and helps us wade through the fog. I'm happy I was a part of the class this semester and I hope all of you have a fun and "lively" summer.  Good Luck!
