Wise Blood

The humor in Wise Blood is so funny! I loved the dark sense of humor that Hazel Motes had. He made the book worth reading for sure. I think that is a part of American Literature that is often put on the back burner, just because everyone is so concerned with the message behind the reading that no one looks into the humor. Fantastic book!

Some of the similies that I did want to note, just because it was an assignment, are:

**It was like a large speard raveling and the separate threads disappeared down the dark street. (Page 55)

**You act like you think you got wiser blood than anyone else. (Page 59)

**She hit him across the legs with the stick, but he was like part of a tree. (Page 63)

**His face under the cap was like a thin picked eagle's. (Page 69)

**He had on the same kind of uniform as Enoch and he looked like a dried-up spider stuck there. (Page 97)

I took a peek at Cheryl's website and looked at the picture Hide and Seek. Whoever drew that is brilliant and out of his mind at the same time. It was so crazy. I literally sat at my computer and stared. I walked back and forth from my screen about twenty times and was totally taken by it. What a crazy image, and an even crazier feeling that I was left with after I viewed it. I felt like I should go and draw something to make people feel that breath-taken/empty/captivated feeling that I had. I got nothin' so far....
