Now that I have seen some of the options of what we are going to read, I look forward to digging deeper into this class. I am really exited to read tales from Jamaica and Congo. I am also excited to read Alice in Wonderland and Hans Christian Anderson. I have read Donte's Inferno before, however I am wanting to dig deeper into the reading. Inferno is one of my favorite mythology stories because it leads into Donte's others stories. I like how this class gives you the ability to decide what readings are on the timeline. This will allow students to have a "want" to finish their work.

I chose this picture to include in my post because it plays a very important part in Donte's Inferno! Charon is a ferryman that escorts souls across the rivers Styx and Acheron into Hell from the living world.
