The in class presentations were very interesting considering the vast differences in classmates opinions on the subject matter for a world literature class. I especially liked how some classmates decided to have a course structure that included books from such popular book titles as Dracula, Lord or the Rings, and Twilight. I was excited how some included a film viewing of the movie adaptations of the books at the end of the class. Perhaps the widely used book among classmates was Chinua Achebe's "things fall apart" which i also used as well. this book would be an excellent source of knowledge of the customs and lives of the Obo people in Nigeria Africa. Giving not only accounts of their traditions but traditions adapted from the white settlers we can see the change in history as well. The presentations was a very good way for us classmates to see how each others thinks and and insight into books we may not have read or heard of before this class.
