My favorite lecture was the lecture on Idealism and Trancendentalism. I could truly relate to either one because I do strive for perfection however I love nature. I love the beach and I love going on hikes. I liked how we made a chart of the differences between the both of them because then it was easier for me to connect both and contrast both for my published writing assignments. I am a visual learner so I really loved the chart on the board.
Another lecture that I really would like to respond to was the lecture on Oppression. We went over how oppression was in really early works such as Antigone and all the way to some more modern examples such as Martin Luther King and the oppression African Americans faced. I could really relate to the gender oppression shown in many short stories we discussed in class even though they were not from this time period. Something that could relate from my own life would be work, some of the men I work with seem to believe women are not capable of being assertive enough to be managers. This assumption is wrong because women are just as capable.
In conclusion, the last lecture I will respond to is one of the last lectures we had. The lecture was about poetry and music. I loved the connection between love poetry and the song Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran. I never thought of music as merely poetry with a beat but now I see it. It makes me feel more content with reading poetry because I have something to connect it too in the world that I know.
