i have a lot more to say but alas...

i guess this is where I'll leave my thoughts in regards to this class, but only in the cyber world will my thoughts be discontinued. in all honesty i have to say that i really enjoyed this class, i wish that there was more time to continue on with the discussions that we have had thus far, but overall i am grateful for what this class has been able to expose to me. i was thinking about my grade in the class and unfortunately i came to the conclusion that i am kind of indifferent to the letter that will reflect what this class meant to me. the reason i say this is because once i was able to transfer some of the thoughts that i had through out the course of the semester on to this blog i began to realize that i really walked away with a peace about literary criticism, which in all honesty i did not think would happen. i know that personally can say that i am leaving this class with a completely new respect for all the work that people have done in the field of literature and also a new respect for my self. to look back at all the various aspects that we have covered and see the ties and connections that are found between everything is truly amazing. the fact that all of the criticism groups we studied are intertwined and connected with not only each other, but with the things that Frye wrote about really blows my mind, i mean wow it really makes sense. i just feel like this is not one of the classes that i have taken in which the material that was taught, was in a way taught in vain. i am not saying that the other classes that i have taken have been pointless, but i am saying that with the ideas that i have been exposed to in this class, i feel far more prepared to take other classes that this university has to offer. i guess this class is like the idea i had just mentioned, it makes connections and builds bridges to so many aspects of my education...so for that i am stoked...ok fin
