MGS.

For my Multi Genera Study I would like to do Constance Fenimore Woolson. I enjoyed the story telling abilities that she possesses. The one problem I had was she jumped in her writings. As I look back, I find that it kept me on my toes and thinking about the text and not how hungry I am, whats for lunch or how bad I have to pee. Another added bonus is that Constance Fenimore Woolson is in the era of Romanticism. I cannot clearly define what attracts me to her writing, but I can say, out of all of the our assignments Kentucky Belle was my favorite. As I explored other Authors, I found myself coming back to Constance Fenimore Woolson. I felt as though her words were not as plainly stated as they could have been, yet they were not as encrypted as possible. The words were simple, but she also did not clarify as well as she could have. I honestly believe that I really like Constance Fenimore Woolson, and I would enjoy doing her for my Multi Genera study.

Week Nine.

I do believe that my favorite week would have to be week five, Romanticism. I chose to annotate Kentucky Belle by Constance Fenimore Woolson and it has to have been hands down, my favorite. I enjoyed the simplicity of the story, yet the ability for you to understand the feelings that the woman had for the people, and things around her. For example, you know that she love her child, when she made sure it was inside when Morgan was coming. You also understand her love for her horse, Kentuck, that her father gave her, because she also took the time to hide her. This woman also has a compassion for people, and you can tell this because she saved a young man that was part of Morgan's raiders.
I can honestly say that I also enjoyed Naturalism, because of the comparing nature to humanity, or to certain characteristics of people. I find that appealing because there are certain aspects of nature, say the weather for example, that can sort of be found in the way that some people act. Its easy to identify with the calm eye of the storm, when you are comparing it to someones mood, rather then taking a whole long paragraph with so many adjectives that you cannot keep track.
I would have to say that the puritan era was my least favorite. I would be happy to not read it again. I felt as though it was preposterous, and most occurrences could have an alternate reason, other then evil witchcraft, such as disease, paranoia, etc.
Although I did have two favorites (Romanticism and Naturalism) I would have to say that the simplicity, the ability to convey a message and the artistic way of writing, of Romanticism, definitely came out in front of the other eras we have covered.
