HEY! I'm Drea, and you will be reading my blogs if you find them interesting. I have an accent over the 'e' in my name, but i never figured out how to do it on the computer, therefore, we are left with 'Drea.' I'm a Junior.
I'm taking British Literature, and I'm taking it because I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, and wanted to find out how Jk. Rowlings writes the way she writes (besides being a genius). Also a lot of great masterpieces came from British Literature, so why not take a class that reads them? I have a lot of questions about the meanings in Shakespeare, and where authors got the basis of their stories from.
The time periods we are learning about are Medieval, Renaissance, Neoclassical (<- going to find out that is... )Romanticism, and Modern Age. I know Medieval involved swords and grotesque war weapons.Renaissance, Neoclassical, Romanticism, and Modern Age I have yet to find out what makes them different from each other.
I chose to read Canterbury Tales because a couple teachers who's judgment I so far trust, suggested it. I hope to learn more about how Medieval Periods were, and what the people were like back then. My questions involve what the people all believed in (witchcraft, omens, bad luck etc.)
Have fun discovering everything you've always wondered about in British Literature.
