Reactions to Charlie's POV (Monday section)

Since we didn't have time to do share everyone's reactions to From Charlie's POV, let's continue the discussion here on our blog.

• What were your reactions to From Charlie's POV? What ideas captured the interest of your small group? What new questions do you have about the book? Does anything seem unresolved?
• Does listening or reading the speech "Blindness: Is Literature Against Us?" by Dr. Kenneth Jernigan, former head of the National Federation of the Blind, add anything to how you read the text? I found the first 15 minutes and then the conclusion to be the most relevant. (Wow. He talks about "the blind detective" as a trope!)

I said this in class, but there were so many different reads of the text! I hope people will share!
