week 15 Reading B

Once again, The detail of these stories were intense. I could see every image that the author was trying to portray. I really enjoyed reading through the short version of Dante's Inferno. It was a nice touch to end the semester and I think that I will have to re read Dante's Inferno at some point over break because I really want to read that book again. The way that the story in the part B of the readings explained how Satan looked was horrifying. I saw exactly what he looked like and wanted to stop reading after that because I was like nope. But I do think a good thing to work on for future writing will be the amount of detail that I construct my sentences with in order to make the reader understand what I am trying to portray and it will interest whomever is reading my pieces! This was a good way to finish up the semester and I am glad I was able to read the week 15 readings.

week 15 Reading A

For the final week of reading I chose to read Dante's Inferno Unit and I really enjoyed it! The way that the stories were told really showed the fear of what hell would be like. I loved reading Dante's Inferno the book back in high school and these stories really brought memories back to mind about what the book was about. I really liked how the first story introduced the characters to the reader. It was cool how Dante and Virgil were explained. The detail of the stories were really intriguing as well. It painted a vivid image in my mind with everything that was explained. The first story started off with vivid imagery about the woods where the story took place. I was instantly hooked on the story itself. I think if I were to write another story this would be something that I focused on. A story full of detail would be really great to focus on. Especially if  I wrote a story about Dante's Inferno.
