@AverageJoe155 @TyH96 I like this quote. Its basically stigmatizing greed, saying people should be selfless. #ch1003 #divc0m

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@ananamelendez Dante was very effective in describing in hell, i think he's creativity is what really convinced people to stay faithful #ch1003 #divc0m

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@abooth021 I think the point is eternal damnation, to scare all the devote christians into being good. You're not escaping. #divc0m #ch1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@BonnieG_Truong Im definitely already at the seven circle of hell. #ch1003 #divc0m

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

#Ch1003 The way dante visualizes hell is amazing. The way he describes minos and the line of sinners was captivating #divc0m

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

#Ch1003 Its interesting concept that there is levels of hell developing this concept that there is levels of sin #divc0m

@shajmila Earlier societies seemed more superstitious and a lot of meaning was derived from the heavens (the stars). #Ch1003 #mrcopolo

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@emily_freund1 @BalchaLilly Yes, It feels less without bias especially compared to last week's readings. #Ch1003 #mrcopolo

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@RoderickPope3 Polo was so encompassing with what he wrote that you really gain a perspective on society, making it enjoyable. #Ch1003 #mrcopolo

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@Bherman677 @KaitlinVairo I agree with this. I think people perceived time differently, and now we've become more impatient. #Ch1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

#mrcopolo Polo states a lot of what he see's in sort of matter of fact way which feels different from what we've read previously. #Ch1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

#mrcopolo Polo's travels are similar to that of Louis & Clark in the way he discovers foods and animals strange to him #Ch1003

@dcabanilla95 @Besmiley98 Clever. #ch1003 #mand3v1ll3

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@ColtonEden1 It makes the text seem more interesting but also the hero my heroic, because he's not fighting just people. #Ch1003 #mand3v1ll3

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@Besmiley98 He see's eastern society as a land full of sin and he believes that Christianity will cleanse it. #mand3v1ll3 #Ch1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@TyH96 The author had a western biased. I mean, he describes the dead sea as "bitter" and the cities "lost because of sin". #mand3v1ll3 #CH1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@KevHust Some historians don't actually believe the author actually took this journey and plagiarized some of his work. So ya. #mand3v1ll3 #ch1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

A lot of what Mandeville describes is just a description of the land. I feel like I'm reading Tolkien here. #mand3v1ll3 #Ch1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

#mand3v1ll3 It's interesting to gain a western perspective on eastern culture during the 1300's through this text #Ch1003

[Jackson Lanham @LanhamJackson]

@Besmiley98 Seems like the musicality of these stories have been influenced by other cultures. i.e. Sahnameh also has dragons #Ch1003 #brutchron
