When I first started this class, I thought it was going to be completely different and honestly was quite nervous for the semester. But now that the semester is ending, Lives and Times was one of my favorite classes.
Even though most of the books I read have happy endings, the books we read in this class made me have a new perspective on what books I will choose in the future. I loved how the were more surreal. I think my favorite story we read was The Yellow Wallpaper. It was way different than any other story I had read. I loved the characters, the story, and the depth of it. I had never really thought about analyzing stories until now. But now everything I read, I tend to analyze.
My favorite part of this class was how informal the discussion was. In most of my classes this semester, there is mostly lecture and then little participation. I love how much the class runs off discussion, it is very interesting and always keeps me in tune.
Overall, Lives and Times was a very good class. I am glad I took it because it helped me analyze readings which will help me in the future. But at the same time, I wish I had it every semester!

I agree. This class really forced me to develop my analytical skills. Which is definitely a great thing!
I agree, times two. At the beginning of this course I realized that I was TERRIBLE at analyzing and thinking for myself. Basically I had just been summarizing the author's point of view instead of my own. This class has taught me to take my own experiences and beliefs and put them into practice by taking new and different perspectives on things.
So glad to hear you've really embraced analyzing...there's no going back, you know :).
