A New Way...And I Like It.

       The field trip to Tuscana was an adventurous one.  I had the privilege of sitting with four wonderful people; Alicia, Shantel, Casey and Adam.  After getting through all the horrendous food lines in the restaurant and filing up some drinks, we sat down at a nice round table and started our meaningful discussion on literature.
       Alicia brought lyrics to a creative song to the table by a woman named HOPE. Shantel brought the dialogues that we have done in class, Casey used a poem in the literature book, Adam brought his favorite script from class called "Sure Thing," and I, last but not least brought a book called "Don't Waste Your Life," by John Piper.  I believe the best part about this time together was how we all truly put our own thoughts, ideas, opinions and views out there for us to hear and listen to with opens minds.  We each had something to contribute to everyone's own literature and felt comfortable to speak.
       Having this time together as a class and even as a team really helped me understand the different ways literature can be looked at, read, sung, painted, and watched.  It's so interesting to see how the mind works in other people and how drastically different or even how very similar some ones ideas are compared to your own.  I am enjoying this class thus far because I feel as if I am learning a new way of something that I have never wanted to be interested in, yet now, a little each day its becoming more of something I want with out realizing it.  Like the introduction paper that Professor Corrigan wrote, "Literature Is a Thing You Do As a Part of Life," it is now sneaking into my daily life and I am starting to notice...and I like it.
