Course Reflection

Throughout this course we have read many coming of age and self-analyzing books and essays that I think is really appropriate for a college age course. Annie Dillard sarcastically examines her life as a writer just as we are trying to decide what major to pick and if it is worth all of our time. Othello examined displacement which I know is a common feeling for me now that I am in college and makes me think of my "displacement" in traveling abroad next semester. Also, both Lucy and Omishto examine their own lives and their relationship to their family and home. A time in college is a time to reexamine our relationships and make new ones. Overall, it was enjoyable to read what others had to think throughout the blogs and analyze the different books we read.
