So looking back on this class I have to say I have never experianced anything like it! Although the reading was not always fun, Mrs. Watson you did an amazing job with getting hands-on with the class. This was a whole new way of teaching that I enjoyed more than ever. I also loved the fact that the class got to decided on what we wanted to read for the semester, which was another genius idea on Mrs. Watson's part. It felt like we actually had a say in what and how we learned instead of having a bunch of information shoved down my throte and being told to memorize it.
Last thing, I know we all pick on Mrs. Waston for being so "sexually outspoken" in our class but I don't think class would have been the same without her crazy random outbursts!!! :]

The Millers Tale
The Millers Tale was one of the most entertaining stories that we have read in English in my opinion. This tale seems to exaggerate but at the same time capture human behavior when it comes to love and relationships. Many times people go to great lengths to get what they want when it comes to love and sometimes get themselves into some nasty predicaments. What is it about the oposite sex that can make us do unbelieveably stupid things? Whether your in highschool or 50 years old, it seems like everyone is just as crazy. I am sorry but if someone put a hotrod up my rear... that relationship would be over!!!
Rebellion
I was thinking back to when we were told to do an activity involving picking a problem in society and rebelling against it. I was shocked to find that in doing so, it was really hard to find a way to rebel. In fact most of the rebelling that went on in that activity were playful unrealistic plans. If the topics we picked to rebel against really bothered us then why was it so hard for us to try to fix? Maybe this is why people like to complain but never really do anything about it. Could it be that maybe rebeling is not as easy as it seems?
Paradise Lost
One of the most interesting stories I would have to say. While I was reading it one of my biggest emotions was anger. I was angry at how naive Eve was and how they ruined Paradise for the rest of humanity. On top of that she would not even take responsibility for it. It just goes to show how people have been childish from the begining of time. Admitting that you did something wrong is probably one of the most hardest things to do in life and it just goes to show that even the very first beings created by God struggled with this.
