Weekly blog
This week we did not learn much in the way of lectures or lessons, but through working with each other. We really got into our summer reading groups this week, and starting our essays. The main focus of the essay was to pick three chapters from How To Read Literature Like A Professor, and use the books we read over the summer, (I read Beowulf and Going After Cacciato) and connect the chapters we used to ideas or events that happened in the books. Our groups were formed by what books we read. Only I and another read Beowulf and Going After Cacciato, so naturally we were put into a group. As we started the essay, we easily agreed on which chapters to use. It was only when we had to interpret those chapters that the differences started to show. It was not views that caused conflict in our group, and we easily agreed to each others opinions, but some of the things we put into the essay I do not agree with. The ideas still serve the purpose and requirements of the essays, but it was like a breath of fresh air talking about these ideas. Some of the things my partner saw I would never have seen by myself. http://chasingfaerytales.blogspot.com/2015/12/can-readers-interpret-literature.html This website I have liked is a student blogger that talks about the same idea, of what view is correct? And if there is no correct one why was she wrong? In the comments were excellent responses to this post. I believe this week was a quiet nice week that let us get more acquainted with each other and our ideas, and I appreciate that.
