Tuesday and Wednesday

The reading I liked the most from this semester’s readings is in between “Little Snow White” and “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara. As a child I always enjoyed reading and watching Disney stories. I know it was said not to view this as such but it’s kind of hard not to. I loved reading it as an adult and taking the time to actually analyze it and finding out it’s true definition. In “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, I appreciated the “hidden meaning” that had to be looked for through Sylvia’s character. I go more in depth in my final essay. “How Do I Love Thee” by William Shakespeare is my least favorite reading. I already do not like poems to begin with but I do think the poems and discussions we had in this semester helped with my understanding of them. I did not enjoy this reading because it was rude. I did not appreciate/enjoy the fact that the man did not see beauty in his lover yet he was still in love with her. I feel. like it was ignorant because I do believe that to love someone you do have to see some sort of beauty in them, whether that is physically or on the inside. He was stating everything he physically did not like about her and only mentioned liking her voice-he never mentioned liking anything else. Overall, I did appreciate this course because it gave me better insight on how to break down texts and gave me more texts to read, as I don’t often do. Thank you and I wish all the best.
