Literature, and analysing, understanding essays, novels,
etc, has never been my strongest subject – in any language. Although the texts
were interesting, and thought-provoking to read, I am afraid that my thoughts
on them may not have been as coherent, nor as well written. Moreover, I was and
I still am sceptical about the idea of having and writing a blog. I have never
been great in writing essays, in general added with the thought that anyone
could read what I have written is daunting. This is why it took me till the
last possible moment to actually put them on the blog.
That being said I did really enjoy reading most of the
texts. These texts are definitely not works I would of normally read, and never
would I have randomly have picked most of them up by myself. There was such a
wide range it what we looked at that, there will always be at least one that
you can appreciate. The ones where I was able to identify another work that I
knew, by means of comparison, ‘Howl’ and ‘The Fountainhead’, I think were my
favourite. I found them easier to align myself to them. For the ‘Fountainhead’,
after seeing the film, I would actually like to read the book, to see if my
first thoughts on Howard Roark are still valid. On the other hand certain of
the essay (as stated in my blogs) I found really confusing, and hard to
actually understand- which wasn’t a great motivation when needing to write
about them.
