Taking Stock - Week 7

Week 7

Oh joy only 10 weeks left! Taking stock of where I am in not only this class but all my other classes has been helpful. With two jobs and 15 units life can be hectic. I try my best to stay on top of everything but sometimes I just don't have enough time to complete everything. The extra credit in this class is very helpful and useful. I like it because I know if I for some reason miss an assignment I can make up for it by doing the extra credit.

This week I have been trying my hardest to finish all my assignments. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do this. My goals for next week is too try and be caught up with everything and try to stay caught up. If I do not procrastinate and do my work whenever I have time I should be fine.

    Hi Megan,
    You have quite the workload this semester! Kudos to you for keeping up with two jobs and 15 units. I have to agree that the extra credit is extremely helpful! I didn't receive by book from the site I originally ordered it so I didn't have the text for the first couple weeks. The extra credit helped me make up for some of the points while I didn't have the book, and are helping me make up for them now! Good luck with everything :)

Weekly Review: Essays are Coming (Extra Credit)

Weekly Review The reading for me went great this week. I really enjoyed both of the readings. Tartuffe was probably my favorite because it had a lot of drama, which is so fun for me. I did like The Song of Ch’un-Hyang but it made me a sad when she was beaten so badly. I loved Ch’un-Hyangs passion though; the love for her husband was unconditional. They never made me feel bored or felt like it was dragging on which is always good! I’m sure all the readings will interest me. My best writing this week was probably in this class with my reading notes. I took a lot of time to make sure my notes were nicely written so I would be able to look at them in the future and be able to understand the reading. A good strategy for me is to pause in the reading and take notes as I go along, so I know exactly what I was thinking in that moment. And how my feelings change throughout the story. A lot of peoples work has been standing out to me, we have a lot of great writers in t...

Week 3, Analysis

Week 3 Analysis  - Tartuffe Themes In this story we see multiple themes. Some of them are Hypocrisy, Love, Family and Religion. I saw these through out the whole reading. Hypocrisy is the main theme for me. We saw it a lot. Every one called Tartuffe a hypocrite because they thought he acted pure and godly but they said it was all fake. They also called him a hypocrite because he had a "following" but was lusting after another mans wife. This is the definition of a hypocrite, going against your own words. We also see Love. At first Orgon had such a strong brotherly love for Tartuffe. He even went against his family to give Tartuffe the deed to their property. He also tried to force his daughter into marriage with Tartuffe. I believe Orgon has a big heart and it shows. He wants to see the good in Tartuffe when every one was rooting against him. We also know thatTartuffe has a fascination for Orgon's Wife, Elmire which could be considered to be under this theme.  Famil...
