My Journey with Poe and Oedipus

The book I chose for the semester is The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe. I choose it because I'm a big fan of his work and everything he has done. Now I haven't gotten much read this week because it's been confussing with spring break and not having school Friday. Then my friend Emily had her baby so I was supporting her. But I plan to get some more reading done this week.

Class has been interesting lately. We just finished the story of Oedipus. It was interesting and kind of fun to read. There were times when the words were way to hard to say and the vocab would sometimes throw me for a loop. What helped a lot though was the back channel. On the channel there was always someone else who didn't get a word or something and it would be dicussed and then it became easier to understand. I really think Oedipus got what he deserved. He was so studdord he wouldn't even listen to his wife/mom. I like watching the play after reading it. It helped me to picture how the greeks would have saw it and it made me feel as if I was in ancient Greece.
