Warning: English 1B vent thread
I've been taking English 1B so we've been studying tragedy so far, specifically Aristotle's Poetics, Oedipus, Hamlet and The Death of a Salesman. Surprisingly, I enjoy the class discussions (which most students complain about). I find the discussions enriching, let alone relaxing. But when it comes to proving a point in my own words, I lose my patience. It's not that I dislike making a point, it's just that I don't care enough to really reach that scholarly level. These tragedies have been debated forever and the last thing I want to do is add my measly opinions. Nonetheless, I signed up for this class and I'm obviously going to survive. Thank God tragedy is over and we're moving onto short stories, maybe they'll wake me up.
