This week, by far has been my favorite to discuss. I enjoyed reading everyone’s ghostly encounters and found the sublime essay to be the easiest to write so far. However, I did not enjoy Poe nearly as much as I did Thoreau. I feel like I personally took much more from Thoreau’s reading and had a better understanding of what he was trying to vocalize through his writing in “Walden” vs. reading Poe and Emerson.
I was also very encouraged by my committee’s essays on “Living a Full Life.” My group members seemed to have a good grasp on what their lives complete. I was trying to find what made my life complete in my essay, and instead found bits and pieces of advice and wisdom through reading theirs. So thanks guys, for opening my eyes. This week has truly shown me how through other’s writings, one can learn so much about the person, and derive vast wisdom.
