Week 8

This week we tie things up before the end of the semester. Our big Team Project was due and we each focused on part of the Romantic era of Literature. It was perhaps one of my favorite parts of literature and it was a complete joy to be able to spend time reading Keats, who I focused on, particularly over "The Ode to A Nightingale". Overall, it was a very engaging class and I enjoyed the discussion. I do wish that we got to spend more than one week over a big piece of literature, the actual books, but I have no other complaints. I liked the idea of the team project and the semester felt like  lot at first but quickly became manageable as we progressed through the semester.

Week 7

Week 7 was about Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. It was a very interesting read, especially in the way that it was written, using psychological realism and stream of consciousness to present the characters to the audience, using their inner thoughts to showcase their true feelings on any given subject. I liked the way that the psychological realism, the insights given by the characters flowed using the stream of consciousness, a way to encourage the flow between thoughts. I also enjoyed the contrast ad similarities between the characters.

Week 6

Week 6's literature is a little about finding yourself and remaking your life. It kind of shows a way to show your life in literature, It shows the need to find yourself and reinvent yourself when you realize that you are stuck in a rut. I enjoyed this week but it was difficult for me to wade through, The Waste Land especially. I  found it very difficult to read and spent waaay to much time trying to read.
