Can we just skip to this week's reviews?
Quick review on this week's readings:
May 20 Shakespeare's Sonnets: 3/5 Not the sonnets I would've picked, but I can't complain too much.
May 21 "An Essay on Man" by Pope: 0/5 Fuck your didactic essay-poem.
May 22 I Promessi Sposi by Manzoni: 3/5 We finally get chapter 1!
May 23 Poems by Hood: 3/5 It's Rent!
May 24 Wealth of Nations by Smith: 2.5/5 As I said in my comments, this one really straddles the line between "no, duh" and informative.
May 25 "Heroism" by Emerson: 0/5 It's the opposite of Heroism. If you told me this was satire, I'd believe you.
May 26 King Lear by Shakespeare: 3/5 Two part ones and two Shakespeares! This week almost had potential.
Weekly Average: 2.1 This was a real rollercoaster.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
Dear Dr. Elliot, how can you put "Heroism", "An Essay on Man", and "The Poetic Principal" in the same collection?
I know we're not supposed to agree with everything in here, and part of it is supposed to show development of thought, but some of these are aggressively bad.
