This is a dedicated discussion space for Professor Renzi's ENG 353 course during Fall 2011. We will blog as a way to practice analytical reading and writing, as well as to continue our discussions this semester beyond the confines of our class meetings.

Miss Marple
Miss Marple is the typical spinster in many respects - an old lady who never married. Other than that, she is much more independent and is seems to be much more intelligent than some of the other women we've read thus far. I think it's interesting to think of an old woman as such a strong woman, while we usually think of older people as frail, etc.

I think it is interesting how she is first described as the typical old maid in this story. Then we see that she is much more dynamic than that through her solving all of the mysteries correctly.
