Class This Semester

www.people.fas.harvard.edu
Over the semester I have loved going to World Lit. class. All the pieces have been interesting and some have been boring, but that's just me. I would have to say my favorite piece from class would have to be the Women of Baths tale. It's funny and reminds me of mine and my friends conversations. We can talk about anything and everything in my group of friends and be fine. 
There wasn't really any piece I didn't like. All the pieces had my attention at some point in time and kept my attention through the rest of the piece. 
I enjoyed the group discussions. They were fun and always lead to something else. We were free to tell our opinions which I believe is a major part of class. Without our opinions we can't establish who we are so we can't have deep discussions. 
I have learned many things through this class. History about all the places the pieces were coming from, how hard it can be to understand the old language and that the stories you expect to be boring are the exiting ones. I also learned that the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a funny movie and I am considering finding it and finishing it.

There is only one thing I think should be added to the class.... Shakespeare. I have always been a fan and I think the class should read Macbeth. We have already read Julius Ceasar, Romeo and Juliet, and I think we read part of Hamlet. So the class should then read Macbeth.
