Can't Believe It!

Wow, I can't believe I just posted for the last time! This class has gone so fast. Probably for the fact that it was soo enjoyable. I really did like this class and I learned a lot from reading everyone's posts. I gained new and different perspectives than what my original thoughts were. Sometimes having an open mind leads you to experience many different roads. I really liked that we read books from different genres to expand our thinking. I think that the variety made the class fun and was why I enjoyed it so much. I remember other classes that required me to read books from the same genre and it got so tiring-and then I grew to dislike it because that's all we talked about. So, good job Dr. Hochenauer. You have another fan!

This was kind of a fun, yet frustrating week of reading. The book was very hard to get into and frustrating to understand. But, it was fun because we could all relate to each other. Reading about the characters was a challenge, but that's what makes the book unique. Not every book is going to be smooth sailing. Some books require deep thought and that higher level thinking.

It's almost over

Women's Rights

Random thought, but I was just watching Cold Case and the episode was about women's rights. It reminded me of the women in the "The Dead". They planned parties even though they weren't allowed and had a ball. However, part of the case, was during one of the parties, they got caught and were taken to jail. The daughter of the mom hosting the party fought for her rights and got into an argument with her mom-who after being caught, decided to play it safe and shy down. Her daughter wanted to run down to the jail to get all the other women out, but she ended up dying before she got there. It was very interesting to see it before my eyes, and it was clearer to me (because I learn with visuals). It made sense and the women really did have to keep quiet and keep to themselves if they wanted their husbands or dads to continue providing for them. If they rebelled, the father would disown them. They took it extremely seriously. I really feel bad for them.
