Just a little diddy...
Our recorded group discussion on Winesburg was actually...good. My group focused mainly on the story "Hands" just because there was so much to talk about. We were actually excited about our discussion, but unfortunatley some awesome parts were not recorded, like when we began discussing the meaning of Wing's hands and why they were so significant to the story. I found a quote that went something along the lines of "Wing you need to cut your hair, its covering up your eyes" and remembered that there are only two things on a humans body that NEVER change- the size of your eyes, and your hand print. This had me thinking that, if Wing had one of these things missing then the other must hold even more about him. Your handprint not only tells who you are but is said to indicate where you've been in life, what your past is (according to palm readers and such...) I thought that was interesting. Its amazing how in literature you can point out little things and make them reveal a hidden meaing, like its a game almost. And whats crazy is that something can mean something to you and than something completley different to somebody else. You never know what hidden messages you might find.
