Arbitrary is my middle name...

Well, no, my name isn't really "KaeDee Arbitrary," but there is no real reason why it couldn't be KaeDee Marie, or Kaleidoscope, or John for that matter. Instead my mother chose the simple three letter name, Ann...

I really like how Professor Pound brings a discussion up about our essay topics just after we've written them. All our confusions and realizations are still fresh on the forefronts of our mind. I think its great to get a glimpse of all the different interpretations that can be made just from one piece; it really solidifies exactly how arbitrary literature can be.


I also think its neat to wonder what exactly, like different lifestyles or experiences make different people have their specific approach to something. Like The Sleeping Giant assignment; I have been to Europe, taken a classical mythology class and have always been interested in those myths, so when I had to compare "The Sleeping Giant" to other myths I automatically wanted to compare it to those of classical mythology.

This is a picture of Medusa the Gorgon

from Classical Mythology that was

changed to stone, as was the

Sleeping Giant.
