During this class, I really learned how to really interpret books in a differemt way. I can understand better of the monomythic procedure of stories. Things I never noticed, I can now see. I think out of all the symbolisms, the stories, and special presentations from the professor's wife, I really did love learning about the Hero's Journey.
My favorite blog that i did was the Hero's Journey on my favorite books. Since I am a big fan of True Blood, what better way to do the project than on one of the books. Although it was difficult since it's a monomyth and not a "duomyth", much time was needed to differentiate the two different stories in the book. I was able to re-read and notice these points of when the Hero goes through her changes. It was also a lot of fun to see just the journey instead of just the plot.
The most interesting blog during this semester was the Professor's archetype. The fact that he was a Magician and an Orphan seems very fascinating to me. His blag had inspired me to do much more research on myself to figure out why my archetypes were what they were. His explanation of why he didn't believe he was an orphan made me think why i had the archetype of being a dark magician. The magician had described himself perfectly while me being the altruist was really on point of myself.
This semester was an interesting all the way through, and I am thankful I had such a great professor to teach me.
