Group Assignment

My group will be presenting on Hawthorne's "The Birthmark." We chose this story because we thought that the conflicts ran deeper, and that the characters were more round. The story essentially focuses on two main characters, who are very conflicted with themselves, and with nature. Nature has brought an "imperfection" to Georgiana's face in the form of a birthmark, in which both she and her husband are very troubled by. The story progresses from here, as Hawthorne dives deeper into the man vs. self and man vs. nature conflicts.

We will be presenting on Monday, June 22nd, and we will be using a facebook newsfeed to network the story. I am very excited about this project. I haven't been involved in many group projects during my experience with TCU, much less a project that allows members to interact with popular social networking strategies.
