Week 5 Blog Post!!!
Ah the week of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. This reminds me of my high school days when we read this. In high school I would have dreaded this assignment but now I don't really mind because I have already read it once and remember most of it. While I was reading Goblin Market i got very hungry because of all the fruit they were talking about, but I ended up really liking the poem. This weeks readings were really good. I actually ended up liking them all.

Week 4 Blog
Hey everyone,
So this week in class we had to read the works of Elizabeth Browning, Tennyson, Arnold, Robert Browning, and Rosetti. We also learned about the Victorian time period. I thought this was super interesting because I learned things about the time period and the people of the time period that I didn't know. I didn't really know that the invention of invention started during this time period and I thought it was really cool to learn that. I also thought that it was interesting that they were starting to go against what was normally believed to be right regarding religion and other things during the time.

Last Week
Hey everyone,
Last week was one crazy week and I forgot to post on my blog so I will make it up this week with a post about last week and this week. Last week we read a few poems from Lord Byron for our Romanticism. My favorite poem of his that I read was "When We Two Parted." I thought this poem was so romantic in the way he wrote it because you can tell that he cared a lot about the woman he was talking about. I think that he wrote this poem right after the love of his life died and he was very upset that he had lost her. I think that he really feels lost without her there and he doesn't know what he is going to do without her there.
For this week we read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I have read this book before and I loved it both times that I have read it. I thought that our discussion topics for this week were really interesting. I think that Victor Frankenstein's upbringing and his childhood were a good thing to discuss because they have a lot to do with his storytelling and the way the story unfolds around him.
