Along with many of you, I was hesitant coming into the class because I had no clue what to expect. The course description sounded like it would be an interesting class to take. And it was just that.
My favorite part of Lives and Times was the books and stories we read. I probably would not have read them if it wasn’t for this class and I found them to be very entertaining to read. I particularly found The Yellow Wallpaper and This Blesses House to be very absorbing. I especially liked how we watched the movie “O” as it brought new discussion topics to our section in Othello. It was great to see Othello in a different and modern light and to make connections and contrasts between the two.
One other aspect of the class that I took notice to was Professor Ambrose’s organization of certain topics and books that related. I actually didn’t realize how it all tied together until class last Friday. It was astounding to see that it was all connected and they built off each other. Paper 2 was my favorite assignment by far. At first, I thought the whole project seemed a bit tedious. But when I started writing the paper, I was excited that I was able to use my own creativity to come up with a new story that added on to one of my favorite stories.
Overall, I enjoyed my time in Lives and Times. Professor Ambrose was always enthusiastic about our discussions and shed new light onto what open discussion really is. I read many books that really got my attention, wrote a creative paper I never thought I would be able to do, and conversed freely with my peers. The class was not what I expected, but I am completely okay with that!
