ENGL 213: March 2009
http://lukeforney.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. An Imaginary Life: Relationships to Texts and Today. Of immediate notice is the lyrical voice throughout the novel. While still very much prose, the words and sentences flow off the page and, when spoken aloud, slither through the air with grace almost equal to Ovid’s own poetic verse. The elegant yet simple way of telling Ovid’s story lends Malouf a tone very much mythic in feel, just as Ovid’s work portrayed the myths of his culture. Apology, Authors, and Maybe More! First, a di...

ENGL 213: April 2009
http://lukeforney.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. An Addendum to the Summation. Monday, April 27, 2009. What have I learned this semester from this class? I lived the classics. Maybe not as much at the beginning, but at the end. The changes in Ovid matched changes in my own life, and the hectic nature of Euripides certainly mirrored some things I was going through (though not nearly to the extent he portrayed, thank God). What did you say? But it's still super special shit. Meghan: Yeah.I know. Eagle-eyed readers may notice th...

Classics: Ah ha!
http://heatherkahly.blogspot.com/2009/04/ah-ha.html
View my complete profile. Over and over again. Sunday, April 12, 2009. I have to tell you about the ah ha! We have been learning about how we need to remember all of these things that we have forgotten by learning the classical texts. At that moment, I remembered something that I had forgotten before I had been born. My world was much more complete and fulfilling. It was an amazing moment and hilarilous at the same time.

Classics: January 2009
http://heatherkahly.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Ah, sweet beginnings . . . Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Words become physically solid, but still fade away? Tuesday, January 20, 2009. We were discussing the inauguration in my 401 Capstone class just a little while ago and I was struck by the fact of how often Obama and what happened today has been compared to history. For those of you who were perhaps abducted by aliens and have missed the entire last year, Obama's. Over the centuries with new places and new faces? I've since gi...

Classics: February 2009
http://heatherkahly.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Give me my robe . . . Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. I Corinthians 13: 4-7. Has an answer, as does Sesame Street. And the movie Night at the Roxbury. So, just what it love?

Classics: Party Time
http://heatherkahly.blogspot.com/2009/04/party-time.html
View my complete profile. Over and over again. Monday, April 13, 2009. How can anyone believe that by killing Lucius, someone wouldn't just bring him back to life to learn the truth? Perhaps, then, we really can't believe that anything is possible? The dead really do stay dead and necromancy is simply a weird story to tell the kids at night? How boring life would be then! Where would be the adventure, the great journeys, the near-death experiences? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Classics: March 2009

View my complete profile. Old Men and Old Women. Intoxication, hmmm . . . Sunday, March 29, 2009. Okay, that's a dramatic title for a post, but reading. Has sort of pushed me into a melancholic mood. Frankly, I've been trying to avoid thinking about death or maybe I've been thinking about death too much lately. My roommates have even informed me that I should major in dead things (how sad is that? Is it something that everyone experiences? What can we, the living, do after the dead are gone? Alas, good K...
