So today in class we went to the restaurant and my group discussed many topics. Are group was filled with very different people, so it was nice to hear their ideas on literature. Here are some:
1. There was a discussion between non-fiction and fiction. Monica I know does'nt enjoy reading too much, so when she does read she wants it to be purposeful, so she reads nonfiction. Zac and me agreed that we like fiction better because easier to enjoy and get through. So we were discussing that maybe non fiction had more purpose for us to read it, but Professor Corrigan came over and made a good point that we should try to learn from everything we learn. Even stupid fiction should teach us something about life. I never thought to read to learn especially with fiction.
2. There was discussion on Star Wars books and Harry Potter books
3. We talked about how I think that girls have more trouble with reading pornography than looking at it. I feel that the romance novels people read now cause lust and sometimes the words can be graphic, which to me I consider porn. Twilight may not be so graphic, but still people lust after that perfect person and especially after the movies the characters now have faces and bodies and girls lust after them (aka Jacob Blacks abs).
Those are some of the topics we discussed. I really enjoyed the "field trip" today especially since some of the people I had never met before, so it was nice to see new faces and discuss their interests in literature. Also, I didn't write about a Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis because I thought people may have not read it yet, but it is really good. It talks about C.S. Lewis' thoughts after his wife died. I recommend reading it it's not a hard read
You did a very good job of wrapping our hour-long lunch into your post. Great job! =~)
