Blog # 10

This week we finished up reading Freud's book, Civilization and its Discontents.  We watched a movie about Sigmund Freud and his nephew. For today's class we read a bunch of poems off of the internet.  So today in class, instead of a commentary, we worked in groups.  We were given two poems and had to find certain elements in each poem. The elements weren't too hard to find.  They were things like "line that made you laugh" and "line with contradicting elements".   Then as a group, we made our own poem.  We each had to write a certain part of speech.  The catch was we didn't know what anyone else had written.  So the sentences came out really choppy but very entertaining.  Today's class was a good change from the usual lectures.
