A.L. TENNYSON 1809-1892
A.L. Tennyson was writer who was destined to fail because his father was disinherited by his evil and controlling father and a sickness that plagued his family. Alcoholism and depression were the the sicknesses that plagued him and his immediate family. Determined to succeed, he was able to capture the emotions of the poor as well as the things that inspired and transfixed his generation.

Keekwak,
I would really like to see you move beyond these comments on the life of the authors and spend some time discussin their writings in depth and detail. Next time, please focus on a particular poem, quote and discuss that text, and write two or three times as much as you have been writing in these last several postings. Take a look at some of your classmates' blogs, and see how they approach this assignment.
What parts of tennyson's spoke to you the most. I'd really like to see some more of your ideas concerning Tennyson. Feel free to go back and expand on your previous comments.
Keekwak,
You summed it up! Truly! I mean people can ask you to say more and that is fine that they ask those things. However, I am blown away that by how you completely summed up the life of Tennyson so concisely! I am just about willing to bet that you are as adept at telling people (in real life)what the deal is and why it is the way that it is! Bold Post! I liked it.
