ENGL 102: An Intro to Lit (10 am)

When Swenson took off to see his editor Len in New York about Angela's novel, I think he felt that he owed that favor to Angela and he had no choice because he had slept with her. I think it was foolish for him as a respectable writer and professor to ask his own publisher about his student work. And not forgetting left on thanksgiving weekend when his daughter was finally coming home to visit. I also feel like he was threatened by the way Angela came off on him and he taught that she would probably try to blackmail him if he doesn’t talk to Len about her novel. After his trip to New York, when he took Ruby to purchase her computer at the same store, he took Angela to get her computer, he was thinking about how Angela knows what she wanted and Ruby doesn’t, he was trying to make himself feel better about what he did, like Angela was up to this standard more like a women and Ruby is just a child. Also, when I read this part, I had this kind of nervous feeling like how he was feeling in the store, what if someone who saw him with Angela comes up to mention he was here before with another young lady.
