I have a feeling that this subject is going to be drained out like the play "Doubt". What I learned the most during the "Doubt" besides all what the play had to offer, was patience. This I believe will play to my advantage in most of my classes and remaing years in school. I think society as a whole always has a tendency to chew everything fast and spit it out as soon it's not in "stlye" anymore. We always want/need new things and we can never satisfied our needs and soon or later most of the things would lose value. With that said, I will try my best to have patience as we explore all we can about pirates.
Last week we worked on in-depth researches using the UNB library. The topics that came out the most were sexuality,racial tolerance,steriotype of pirates,gender,women pirates. All of these subject are interesting in their own right and we can go very far with them. I think everybody should choose what they would like to work on and the class shouldn't be forced to read a book about one certain author or subject. This lets the curiousty of learning flourish more because you are not "forced" to read about a subject that doesn't interest you.The subjects I mentioned above are still relevant with today society. This makes it much easier to learn because of the connection of today's issues.
A very educational conversation was held in our last class. It distrubed some of my class mates. It was very educational for me, it was nothing new that I haven't heard( maybe im wrong). I was very motivated by the answers the teachers gave us. The lesson was simple in words, but in reality it's hard to accomplish. The lesson was to learn regardless of the marks that you were being given. This is very true and I am glad that I picked Aquanas. I want to learn again for the pleasure of learning. Marks and all other things can come in second hand. This is the major difference between high school and universities. The love of knowledge!!
