Final blog entry.

I believe this has been a great class in my learning process. It has taught me many things such as identifying and interpreting archetypes, symbols, and how to organize my ideas when I write. Since English is my second language, this class has helped me to improve not only my writing but also my way of thinking and interpreting movies, stories, books, and poems.

One of the things i didn't know before coming to this class was the many archetypes there are in our personalities. Some of them can be stronger than others but they all are present in our daily lives. It also helped me to understand the many symbols an author includes in a poem, a book, or a director in a movie. Symbolism is a very powerful language that makes us understand not only with our minds but with our hearts too. Thanks to this class, now, every time I read a book, a poem or watch a movie I always look for the symbols, archetypes, and themes. With these features kept in mind, it's easier for me to understand what the author or the director is trying to tell us. Another thing I learned form this class was how to create a blog entry which is something I had no idea about, how to comment on others' posts, and how to place a video or an image in a blog entry. I also liked the way my professor reinforced and extended my abilities to write and to organized my essays by commenting and telling me what to do or what was wrong with my work on my posts.
The blog entry that I liked the most in this class is 3.1 Macbeth, interpreted by Christa Itzel. She does such a wonderful job describing and interpreting the image of Macbeth and his wife. In this blog, Christa is able to see some expressions and symbols I couldn't identify such as Macbeth having one foot in and one out of the door showing Macbeth debating his actions of killing the king and the way lady Macbeth uses her feminine side to manipulate her husband. By seeing this blog entry, I strongly believe that Christa and many other classmates as well as me, have learned the meaning of poetry and other literary genres from fiction, drama such as Macbeth, and nonfiction,
Finally, I have always been fascinated by the supernatural and spiritual world, mythology and religion, and the greater forces that are beyond our human understanding. The subjects that called my attention in this class were witches, dragons, fairies, vampires, angels, demons, and many others. I like reading books about these subjects because I try to find an explanation or an answer on wether they once existed, still exist or never did. I think they exist but they are forces interpreted on images so they can make more sense to us. This is why when this class was introduced to me I knew right alway how fascinating it would be and how much I would learn from the course, the professor and my classmates. I hope some day in the near feature I will have another class like this or maybe teach it, but for now I have to move on and keep walking throught my learning path.
