Course Reflective Narrative:
This was the most epic and intensive super engaging literature class ever. It was rich in class material and the readings were representatives of the most epic Masterpeices of Hispanic Literature. I was able to savor the readings and poems from authors and poets like; Alonso de Ercilla, Jose Heredia, Bartolome de Las Casas, Jorge Luis Borges, Juan Rulfo, Ruben Dario, Sor Juana Inez de La Cruz, Alfonsina Storni, Gabriela Mistral and many more. Along the semester we had to read a novel by an author that was not being covered in the lecture. I was able to read and analyze the book La muerte de Artemio Cruz by Panamanian author Carlos Fuentes. This course helped me learn and acquire knowledge of the best authors in Latin America. I was able to connect other classes with this course and go indepth with literature. Down below is a presentation i did analyzing my chosen novel.
