Response to Course Materials - October7

Yes, its not really October 7th. On October 7th, I watched every blog post and every comment I published get deleted immediately by a sadistic laptop which I had planned to finish my homework on. So, I apologize for the tardiness of this post (as well as some late comments), and hope for some sympathy.
So, the past couple weeks, we've been doing a lot. This class is sometimes difficult for me to follow, because its not clear how it is divided up (are there units? I know its not chronological like Brit Lit...). In my notes, I have a good history of the literary movements. My favorite activity was when we made a chart showing who we focused on in each era of literature. The Classics are about the Gods, Medieval Lit is about Kings, Romanticism is about the Knights and Gentry, Naturalism about the middle class... and now we read about anti-heros and the victims of oppression. That is a cool pattern which I had not noticed before. I also learned about the mass culture of T.V. In other news, we read The American Dream, which I'm sure I'll post about later. Oh! And we went through about a million Greek myths and Bible stories so that we would catch allusions, though I haven't yet found any in American Dream. And we read The Century Quilt, and had lots of discussions about American Dream.
Shoot. I wasn't supposed to summarize what we learned. I only responded a little. But there is just so much, and I don't see yet how it comes together, so my response is confused. Bewildered. Lost. I'll understand what we do on any given day, but not how it related to the day before or the day after. I love our classes, really, but I never have any idea what we will be doing, unless it was specifically announced. Other classes have chapters or units or sections, but this one feels a little random. I guess its pushing my comfort zone. This was a very poor blog post, I know, so hopefully I will get some helpful responses. Thank you, friends.
