I think the final assignment will be very challenging and rewarding. I am looking forward to discover new outlooks on the issue I chose to write my discourse on. I seem to be leaning toward writing on my role as a father. I have two beautiful daughters that are presently with their mom visiting family in Mexico. They have been gone for three weeks know and still have four more to go. I miss them very much and hopefully I can  use their absence and the feelings they express in our recent phone conversations as inspiration in relating my thoughts on fatherhood.

 

            As usual the class was very beneficial last Saturday. Although I had to leave early I still had many of my questions answered concerning the Mystory way of understanding text. It is interesting to know how text can create a mood that can be found in the “middle voice” and how it has the ability for a person to identify it and find their true identity.

 

            If every one was in love like young Werther nothing would get done in the world. Goethes The Sorrows of Young Werther I found to be very interesting to read, it was much like watching a car accident on the side of the freeway. I can appreciate the way Goethe used letters written by Werthers to tell his story. I was grateful for the reflections on Werther excerpts, it helped me put into prospective the mind set of Werther, Goethe , and the young readers that the text influenced so much.
