Sciences

            I believe that it is important for everyone to be scientifically minded. This allows for everyone to have a sense of understanding or at least a sense of being able to find out and understand things about life that someone who is not scientifically minded would not understand. I believe that this is the most important takeaway from this section of the writing.

            Everyone knows the story of Frankenstein, and everyone has a different interpretation of it, however, one of the most common conceptions is that Victor is a mad scientist. I do not think that this is true. I believe that he is simply a scientist who experienced a loss. I believe that Victor had the same mindset as the guy writing the letters in the beginning. I think that they come off as smart and driven because they are scientifically minded. Even a person who succeeds in this life has that same scientific thinking. I believe that this is the most important takeaway from this section of the book. While every book has multiple lessons that can be taken away, being scientifically minded will take you far in this life and allow you to be smart and make good decisions even if you are not a scientist.

            I think that this book has so many important take-ups away, but I believe that the most important, and one that you can use in all aspects of life is that you need to be scientifically minded.

What I learned this semester

 This semester I learned there are multiple ways to interpret the text. Such as The Waltz, where some people interpreted the text to be about a father and his abused son. Others interpreted it as friendly interaction between father and son. These interpretations are bought on by the person's experiences and past experiences, making every analysis unique. I once thought that there was such a thing as a right and wrong analysis, now I've learned that any analysis is right as long as it can be proven. I'd say more than learning, I found this course an experience. An extremely good one. Just as thrilling as falling in love with a new song on the radio. Its thanks to my classmates but also to Dr. Ellis for enabling and hosting such a space where we can have the amazing conversations that we do. A safe space to learn and grow. The feel of a home or a small little book club of friends.  Literature can show a person's way of thinking while also expanding upon it. Literature is ...

What I learned this semester

      Being a part of this class has completely changed my approach to reading literature. I have learned to appreciate different works from different writers through our insightful discussions. It has taught me not only to settle with one theme or lesson from a piece of writing but to continue to search for alternative meanings. Listening to my classmates openly make connections with the books, poems, and short stories that we read to their personal life experiences has inspired me to do the same. I’ve grown so much in the span of this semester. I’ve learned about concepts and ideas that I believe everyone should know in order to evolve into our most authentic selves. I’ve learned what clinging on to hope can do to better our situations, what self-love actually looks like, and how to navigate life by embracing our identities, and many more. I was also introduced to so many writers that I never knew of like Phil Kaye, Kara Jackson, and Witi Ihimaera. Through this who...

What I've learned

  I always hated English classes in grade school, because we were always required to read books from before our time and come up with an overanalyzed response without hearing other viewpoints. Being in this class has been very different from those other courses in turn making it feel like a breath of fresh air. Being a finance major I dread most classes although I love the subject. Whenever the clock strikes 4:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays I get excited because I know there will be inciteful and respectful conversations had between myself and peers. The structure of this course makes me as a student more excited to read these books regardless how old they are, because as a class we do an excellent job of being able to relate the topics to current worldly, and community issues. Even in the earlier days of our course we were able to touch on heavy subjects such as racism, and certain slang and derogatory words, and not once did the conversations go in a direction when it needed to be ...
