Presentations

I would like to say that Garrett's presentation today was very interesting. I realized now that The professor had been giving hints (at least I think) about the retelling of Jesus in Alyosha. I remember one class we talked about the last supper and how Alyosha told the boys to come back to the rock to remember the boy. Perhaps he was hoping we would see this earlier?

His theory of smerdykov was shocking and I can see why he would think that, but to me he was more like Judas. After all Judas and him both killed themselves(by hanging might I add).

I will have to read the Brothers Karamazov again, I feel like the connections of all the stories are slowly starting to make sense to me, especially the more I read the chapters of Father Zosimas life.

Well on another note I wish I would have had more time to write my paper, the ideas that I wanted to talk about I did. But I wanted to express it better. It seemed no matter how many drafts I had, I was still having a problem connecting all the ideas. I will still write about this book and perhaps one day I will be able to express my thoughts clearly.
