Dante’s Inferno has always been a piece of literature that
interests me. Admittedly, I have
unfortunately never read any of the material.
However, I am familiar with the concept and would love to actually read
it during this class.
Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories from my
childhood. Now that I’m older I’m well
aware that Alice in Wonderland is not at all a “strictly for children
story”. It has been some time since I’ve
looked over the story or any of its content.
I think at my current age and academic level it would be interesting to
see how my opinions regarding this story have changed.
During my past three semesters at OU I have taken a course
of Russian. The language was one of the
most challenging things I have ever set out to learn. That being said, the courses spent so much
time on the language that I wish more time had been spent on the culture. By reading this story I could get the inside
look into Russian culture that I had been missing.
I selected the legend of Sinbad unit for similar purposes as
the Alice in Wonderland unit. This is
another story that I encountered as a child, and I feel appreciating it in my
adulthood would be an interesting change of pace.
I’m not exactly sure why this unit jumped out and caught my
attention. However, the unit’s overview
seems as if this unit could have some interesting content from another
culture.
