Week 9 Progress

-
My progress this semester has good. I am still keeping up with all my classes which is surprising to me because usually around this time I would find myself falling behind or find myself missing assignments.
This class hasn't been a struggle but it also hasn't been a breeze. I have found myself missing some assignments but thanks to the extra credit I can still make most of those points up.
I'm a really busy person this semester, this is probably the most stressful semester I have had. I am taking 4 classes at 13 units and I have two jobs. If you would have told me at 16 that I would somehow be balancing all this I would have laughed at you.
I have been enjoying this class and the readings. Even though it was more reading than I had initially expected, I've been doing good with it.
After Spring Break I know it's going to be pretty hard to get back into the swing of things. This year I am going to try and keep up with my work throughout spring break. I used to try and either get all my work done before spring break started or I would wait until it was over to do my work.
This class and my math class are the only ones that have work (very little) so I am hoping that it won't be too bad!
One thing I want to try and do after the break is to try and do my work early. If I get ahead start on my work I wouldn't be stressing out trying to finish it before the due date.

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...
