Well I’ve nearly made it through my first Spanish literature class (I suppose I have made it through all of the actual class sessions now!).I’m glad I chose this course because I have enjoyed the topic of magical realism literature in Latin America. On…

Better Late than never?

I just realized that I never wrote a blog last week, so I will be writing one today (over a week late). The blog I wrote yesterday was more focused on the McOndo reading, so this one will be a relection of the class. As I said earlier, the class went…

En este curso aprendí mucho sobre la literatura latino americana, lo que para mí es algo nuevo. Lo que me parece interesante después de leer las obras que teníamos que leer para este clase, es el hecho de que todos los textos tienen elementos relac…

McOndo

Bueno si quieren saber la verdad, este McOndo no me gustó mucho. Lo que me parece que estos autores están tratando de hacer es de rechazar el realismo mágico sin poder completamente dejarlo fuera de sus escrituras. Porque parece que tienen una fasci…

This semester was interesting. Not entirely with regard to course and class material was, but in general, interesting. The Olympic break was amazing, incredible, estupendo; however, it put me in Summer mode by early March. This brings me to my first po…

Hmmm mucha lectura… bastante que leer en esta clase, pero a decir verdad, estoy feliz que pudimos estudiar la cantidad de obras que leimos durante este semestre. Yo escogí esta clase específicamente porque era sobre literatura latinoamericana, y no española. Así que estoy muy contento con los textos que leínos ya que fueron una buena […]

Thinking about this semester-long class, one thing stands out in my mind: Until this class, I’ve never taken a course that centers on a literary genre where the genre itself wasn’t defined point-blank on the first day. At first, this seemed to b…

El curso acaba… Vale, no me quejo de esto como quiero relajarme en las vacaciones que vienen muy pronto. El curso no fue muy crítica, es decir, la lectura de los textos bastante limitados era de primera persona: nosotros leyendo los textos, punto. M…

I think it’s pretty funny how these blogs have become little mini-updates of our lives. I don’t actually know most of the people in the class, but I know what everyone is doing! I’m as shocked as everyone that the term is almost over . . . unbelievab…
