Jamie of Jaime is there a difference? Unfortunately there is.

Funny story. Well the Spanish name for Jamie is Jaime (pronounced hi may) and knowing that small fact about the name I didn’t feel the need to look on the paper for the “correct” spelling. So, as a result I spend the majority of my time searching for Jamie Torres Bodet instead of Jaime Torres Bodet. By the end of class I realized my folly and have found the information that I needed. Now all is well with the author situation.
I think that I explained choosing my authors in the first blog so I could repeat myself again but that is no fun.
Long story short:
Ø I found a Latin American Lit. Book
Ø Looked through the index at titles
Ø Choose the most interesting titled poems
Ø Read them
Ø And choose the author whose work I liked the most
Ø Checked availability of information on the author
Ø Finalized my author
Now I need to do more research, and begin to form my thesis for the paper. The most challenging thing for me will be finding informational sites that are low on bias, because some of his literature has been attacked because of his political stance. This’ll be fun.

ooooo what does this say ?????
Hopefully my author.
