I love this class!

So, even though I did not attend class like i should have on Thursday I still love literature. I promise! I can't help but think of all the things that I have learned so far in just one class. It just really amazes me how much a person can learn if they are really engaged into a certain text or a particular novel. This class has taught me so much about myself and what I can do. If a person really wants to learn first they have to put all of their feelings aside because you're not always going to do learn something that you like or want to do. For instance the book of Joel, I thought that this was a weird idea. I mean come on, I know this is a Christian university, but why are we reading the book of Joel in literature class. Don't get me wrong I love the bible, but Joel? I have to say that I skimmed over it a couple times before coming to class. When we the professor asked us to read it in our heads I enjoyed it, I mean it's God's word, but when he asked us to go outside and read it aloud I really started to grasp the understanding of it. Now, I read almost everything out loud because I can understand what i am reading a lot more. The book of Joel also showed me that even the smaller books of the bible that everyone seems to look over is still important. Why you ask? Because it is God's word and everything that He says should have importance in our lives. I always wanted to read the New Testament because it was more "exciting", but now I have learned that the Old Testament can be just as exciting as the New Testament.
