Van Helsing plays an interesting role in this text. After reflecting through other’s posts and the reading, something that I did not grasp was this narrative of the old vs. the new. It seems that Stoker ma […]

The main questions I had when we started this novel focused on where these notions of vampires originate. How did we come to understand that garlic and crucifixes combat vampires? On the same note, why do they […]

Even though I have never read Great Expectations, I knew that Charles Dickenson published an alternate ending due to the advice from a friend. I read this original ending and I personally prefer it much more to […]

I find it suspicious how quicky Pip’s life is turning around. His childhood abuser is attacked and basically is dependent on help now and an unnamed employer is buying Pip as a worker now? I refuse to read ahead b […]

1) one aspect of the film that runs counter to your interpretation of Brontë’s original text
I think the first 10 opening minutes are much more impactful to Heathcliff’s story compared to the novel. At the […]

In the chapter of part two, Cambridge talks about how he lacks memory of his early life. He remembers having a large family and the feeling of their love, but he fails to remember more than this. One thing that he […]

I think Milton has influenced my view of religion. I have started to reflect a lot more about why I left the church and what issues I had with the church due to this class.

When looking back at my comment on God sending others to do his work, looking back at book 1 Satan volunteers himself to go out and spy on Adam and Eve and plays an active part in their fall. I just find it […]

A friend asked me today if I really thought God punished women for Eve’s sin with the complications of cramps and our periods every month. I am usually not a very religious person, however, I immediately thought a […]

I think this is show how the two are divided as separate entities and that there’s some sort of “entrance” into the other.

I wonder that when families get their unborn child tested for any birth defects. I think it’s interesting having that power in one’s hands and still going on to procreate life.

I really enjoyed Keith’s comment in class that Adam goes through the stages of grief. The connections he made, made sense that I’m shocked that I did not make them myself, however it fit so well into the piece. […]

When we had our mini version of the Milton Read-A-Thon, I found it an interesting mode of reading. I had originally regretted not being able to attend the actual Read-A-Thon but when we had our own, as a person […]

This is super cool! Thanks for passing this along. It’s very interesting that he would do this without making it more obvious. I wonder if he wanted the “pious” to find it.
