Final Blog

I really enjoyed the majority of the readings in class. I would keep each story for next year because each shared similar characteristics, but the different generations/categories of gothic literature was like a breath of fresh air. I didn't like some stories in the beginning, but after going over the text in class, I learned to appreciate what the author was saying. My favorite part was watching the movies that corresponded to the texts-- I really enjoyed the Skeleton Key and Smooth Talk. Maybe for next year, the class could engage in more small group work to help everyone speak a little more. Also, instead of choosing a "speaker" for each group, give everyone a chance to answer a question so the same people don't speak time after time. I very much enjoyed the class, thank you!
