@N_DesertRose I agree! Dante definitely feels for the souls in purgatory and I feel like he wants a better understanding as to why they might have their certain punishments. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

Paradiso had a more positive outlook and message than purgatory, making it more enjoyable to read. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

I feel like Dante sympathizes for the people in Purgatory, such like he walks in a hunchback with the prideful penitents. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

I feel like the only reason we have an understanding of of what hell might be like is because of Dante. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

It was interesting to learn what everyone’s punishment was in hell and why they deserved that punishment. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

I wouldn’t have thought there would be a place in hell thats cold. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

I don’t understand how you can still go to hell if you have sinned but haven’t been baptized? #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

We read the Aeneid in the beginning of the semester, so it was cool to see how Dante related back to Virgil and the Aeneid. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

[kait_w @kaitw16]

The other texts we read didn’t put much emphasison hell, whereas Dante shows his travels through purgatory and hell. #ch1202 #ch1002 #divc0m

@chanell320 @cnord6 @KeelyEshenbaugh Trade definitely taught us new and different cultures, which I think help lead to the new innovations we have today. #ch1202 #ch1002 #mrcopolo

[kait_w @kaitw16]

The amount of time it took Marco Polo to travel (25yes) is astonishing. Luckily in this day in age we have other ways to get around rather than just “on foot”.#ch1202 #ch1002 #mrcopolo

[kait_w @kaitw16]

I realized reading Marco Polo how important trade was then and how it’s so important in our culture today too. #ch1202 #ch1002 #mrcopolo

[kait_w @kaitw16]

Although most of the travels of Marco Polo was from word of mouth, it was believable. #ch1202 #ch1002 #mrcopolo

[kait_w @kaitw16]

The travels of Marco Polo included different religions rather than just one like our other readings. #ch1202 #1002 #mrcopolo

[kait_w @kaitw16]

I enjoyed how there was a small explanation of what the reading was going to be about in the beginning of chapter. #1002 #ch1002 #mrcopolo

[kait_w @kaitw16]

This reading was definitely a travel narrative, but it was a bit difficult to keep up with all the places he traveled to... #ch1202 #ch1002 #mand3v1ll3

[kait_w @kaitw16]

The beginning of the Travels of Sir John Mandeville talks a lot about the Christian and Greek faith. They vary from the Christian faith but in the end they both believe in the same god. #ch1202 #ch1002 #mand3v1ll3

[kait_w @kaitw16]

Hearing about the different woods they built Jesus's cross with was very interesting. It was built with palm, cedar, cypress, and olive wood. #ch1202 #ch1002 #mand3v1ll3

[kait_w @kaitw16]

This text is clear and organized. It’s easy to follow along with the story and each adventure encountered. #ch12002 #ch1002 #islmtrvl

[kait_w @kaitw16]

It was interesting to hear about the Khwarazmians and Ardakuwas language. One sounds like cries while the other sounds like croaking frogs🐸 #ch1202 #ch1002 #islmtrvl
