Ancient Stories

-The language of the first and second text are both different. The first text is descriptive and uses words we don't use anymore. The second text is way more simple.
-As the time passes, languages change and it is important to rewrite it word for word so new generations can better understand the text.
-The words change when you rewrite it but with the same meaning so the purpose won't change.

Notes 8/19/14

Myth- a story that explains things we don't understand

first post

My reasons for taking this course is because it is a high school requirement. I am excited for the different ways that i will be able to learn the subjects. I am  a little nervous about being able to keep up with all my homework because of the blog and because ive never done homework assignments like this before. My goals for this class is to be able to pass it.

Something i feel strong in this class is the journals. Sometimes it can be hard getting all your thoughts together about what your gonna write about, but after a  while it gets easy sometimes it doesn't tho.
Something i need to work on is my shyness. i don't like to talk in front of the class.
