Week 15: Dante's Inferno
I chose my reading units based on my previous high school studies. Even though my major is journalism, my favorite subject in high school was actually history. I've read a few of the readings that I chose, such as Aesop's Fables and Dante's Inferno. However, I haven't taken a history class since high school, and as I was going through all the choices, I realized that I forgot most of my knowledge on those subjects. I wanted to take this class to refine some of my knowledge in those areas, which affected many of my choices. I was also very excited when I saw the Cherokee reading as one of the options for the Native American units. My father's side of the family has Cherokee blood, but I never bothered to learn more about Cherokee history until now.
