Hey Chris

This is one interesting piece but I enjoyed it. I love the connections you made with your personal experiences and tried to twist it in explaining your view about the question Literature, So what? I guess it is our experiences that will help us tackle this question in the upcoming exam. Like Michael told us to write in our own style so I say write til your hearts content... (I got that from a movie which has stayed with me ever since) Anyways the style in which you have written for this particular entry was enjoyable as I wanted to keep reading further to see how possibly your writing would refer to the topic or question Literature so what? You write in a way that is different but enriching and meaningful. Now Im just ranting on so Ill leave you with a few words, in terms of literature life is just an opened window in which we see the different views of the tool of literature...hopefully you get what i mean lol

This is extremely interesting. The spur of the moment thing has happened to me quite a lot although none of them have been half as interesting as your italian situation, however they were still intrinsic to where I am today.

I loved the way you compared yourself to michael angelo funny stuff.
Les Miserables another beautiful way to portray your emotion a wonderful theatre which also explores these feelings of life.
Keep it up..

Hi Christina,

Yes, it was after our conversation on Thursday that I began to mull over this a bit more. When you were asking about the decision to return to uni, at the time I didn't remember my time in Florence, but it was when I started to think on it again that it came back to me. Now to tie this into our course...I guess it is one of the great qualities in literature in that, like another questioning mind, it can force you to re-evaluate past decisions and confront your choices. Perhaps that is why we read, to have another person make us look again at ourselves and try and find out who we really are; what part in the play we are performing.

Food for thought anyway.

Thanks for the comments and I'll see you in class.
