Goal 3

Goal 3 – Culture Through Literature: For this goal I took World Literature. Throughout this class we had to read a wide variety of literature, most of which I had never read before.  We discussed different themes within literature of from different cultures as well as broad themes that could be found in all cultures. Just a few of the themes that we dove into were comedy’s versus tragedy’s, epic journeys, and what the theme coming to age means. This class was extremely lecture based which I love. I love hearing the opinions of others and how they interpreted the book. I am not of fan of professors telling you what something means because I do not feel that you learn anything. I like the discussion based classes so that even if you do not understand something you can work it out with your fellow classmates. In the paper below I compared Oedipus Rex, a comedy, and Lysistrata, a tragedy.
