New blog prompt - 9/5/08

Homework:: “not so much like drops of water, though water, it is true, can wear holes in the hardest granite; rather, drops of liquid sealing-wax, drops that adhere, incrust, incorporate themselves with what they fall on, till finally the rock is all one scarlet blog.”

-Chapter 2, pg 28
Explore this simile and decide what it signifies; then find examples in BNW in which the rock nearly breaks through the wax, or where the wax layer is so thin that the rock can be perceived, even if only for a moment.

Have a great weekend, everybody!
