Hi everyone \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
My name is Laura and I am a third year psychology student. I was born and raised in Vancouver. In my spare time I like to snowboard and cook. I look forward to getting to know you all through out the term!<\/p>\n
I am taking this course for a few different reasons. One is that I find that since I began university, I do not read as much as I used to, and the times I do read tend to be textbooks or academic papers. By having to read literature for this course, I hope it will help me feel more as though I am reading for pleasure while also being productive with school. I also look a class done in a similar format with Jon last year, and really enjoyed the class and wanted to have an experience like that again. I also enjoy learning about history and culture in different areas of the world, so I think many of the themes and topics we discuss will be interesting.<\/p>\n
I do not have much experience with Latin American literature, but I am excited to have the opportunity to read and then discuss it with my peers, especially when everything can be interpenetrated so differently, it is always interesting to hear different perspectives. I also am excited to learn about the authors lives and things that influenced the creation of these pieces. I find it fun to read something somewhat blindly, then learn about what influenced it, and have your opinions reshaped.<\/p>\n
My question for discussion is: What is your favourite thing you’ve ever read? It could be a book, article, comic, etc, anything goes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
