My thoughts on what I've learned here.

I have to admit that I was already a huge fan of literature before this class. I read often whether or not I'm being instructed to for a class, but this class definitely broadened my horizons. I never really read poetry for entertainment previously, but I'm considering giving it more of a chance now. I also really enjoyed the novel we read, and I never would have thought about reading it if I hadn't been assigned it because I'd always had my concerns about the actual value of reading a translated work. In general I feel that I am a more well-rounded reader thanks to this class, and I feel that makes me a much stronger reader overall.
