Well, it is already the end of the semester. There have been many
readings and assignments throughout the class, and many discussions as well. The
projects in the class were fun, the papers were interesting, and the readings
were both interesting and fun. Although some readings were long and others were
short, they have all been interesting in some way or another. My favorite
reading was a tie between Knight
of the Cart and Avalon High.
Knight of the Cart was a good reading to have in the beginning of the semester
to introduce us to Lancelot-especially since toward the end a lot of people
were tired of Lancelot. Knight
of the Cart had everything I
like in a book; it had action, adventure, romance, and a little mystery. My
favorite part in the reading was the sword bridge scene because he crosses it
without anything covering his hands and after he is across, he is ready to go.
My second favorite part was the tournament scene where Guinevere tells Lancelot
to "Do his worse," and he does. I liked this part because even though
he is an amazing fighter, he holds back.
Avalon High was also my favorite reading in the class because it was a
nice change in style. Although some of the parts in the story were a little
cheesy, it was a fun book. Throughout the story, I was wondering when the
characters finally find out who they are. I also loved all of the scenes with
Marco in them. I especially liked the scene in the counseling center. I liked
this scene because it had me thinking that Marco was going to do something to
Will right then and there. But the best part for me in the book, in terms of
both excitement and humor, was the final scene between Will, Marco, and Ellie.
When I was reading it, I was excited to see how it would turn out, but I also
laughed when Ellie gave the sword to Will and when Marco knelt down after
seeing Will with the sword. I thought that it was funny that a guy with a gun
was intimidated by a guy with a sword. This book was also my favorite reading
because it was an easy read in terms that it took only a few hours to read the
entire book.
Over all, this class has been fun and
informative. The projects were fun and interesting, especially the Arthur Goes
to Hollywood project, the papers were thought provoking, and the readings were
exciting. I also enjoyed the class discussions. The class discussions helped to
understand the readings and also helped to see things in a different way. They
also allowed us to engage in the class rather than only the professor
speaking.
And finally the blogs. The blogs also
helped to engage us in discussion and to talk about and understand the readings
that we have read. They also provide a way to revisit past readings and help to
remind us what happened in each. These blogs have really helped me to
understand some of the readings.
Now it is time for my last blog to come to
an end. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and have enjoyed the
conversations that have been held on them. I wish everyone good luck on their
finals and hope everyone has a fun and safe summer vacation. So long
Arthurians.
