Books!

Well this spring break I had a lot of listening time during my job. So I took that opportunity to listen to audio books, because why not. I ended up listening to three great pieces of work: The Epic of Gilgamesh, Donte's Inferno, and Hamlet prince of Denmark. I recommend each and every one of them. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a great and ancient story. It's a story of a king that faces an adventure of strength. Donte's Inferno is truly the visual representation of hell. Donte guided by Virgil the the nine levels of hell. The man is shown a horrific and melancholy life in hell of sinners. Hamlet prince of Denmark one of Shakespeare's greatest works. A man controlled by vengeance is driven to commit shocking acts. I truly advise you to read them.

YGB Questions

What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story? It was to tell readers how easily it is to change a persons point of view.

Faith is the good girl in the story. Goodman Brown only hope was that faith was a sin free person. He was clinging on her when tested on his beliefs. But then that view is  shattered in his face. What do you think the pink ribbons signify? I happen to believe that the ribbon is a symbol for purity and i read that the color pink is related to innocence, due to its similarity to white. Was everything Brown witnessed real, a figment of his imagination, something conjured by evil, or a dream?  Support your answer with passages from the text. I think it's all too real. For a sane person to see all this must be on some drugs.  Who do you think the old

Self-assessment

What you learned this semester/year in this course? This has been very interesting for me. The class was shocking at the beginning, but throughout the day together. Have really changed the aspects of a class. In my opinion, this class was all about the will of a student and to put in there on the amount of work and show who they really are. I have learned many things like Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. on top of that, i have learned the importance of being oneself be through our journals or speaking. How hard you worked? This year I feel I didn't work as much but I believe I could have done a better job, which is a shame, to be honest, me having not giving it all when I could that is truly a pitiful thing to do. At least one great mistake you made and how it helped you? the great I ever made this year is not in the class but as the whole year. I was not involved a lot all the times I could have done I didn't. This mistake has shown me that next year will be an opportunity for m
