Response to Course Materials
We have now been discovering different time periods, and the literature characteristics present during these different times. Personally i had the classical antiquity and medieval literature section which i found to be greatly interesting. During a time of relative hardship, the people were able to find refuge in literature. While Europe was struggling physically, literature flourished during this time period even with things such as the black death going on. It also amazed me how people like Plato just were not afraid to portray their thoughts no matter how extreme it might sound. I personally find Plato's ideas to be slightly radical and was surprised at how openly he portrayed them. But then again i guess real geniuses always need to take a risk to get their ideas known. Overall, im excited to continue and learn about literature from all time periods.

ReplyDeleteNice work, I didn't get to hear about Plato very much in my class, but his ideas sound cool. Good job going in depth with what you've learned in class recently, it's a nice class review.
