This week I read Cupid and Psyche. I actually really enjoyed
this unit. It was fascinating and very unpredictable. For example, I did not
see Psyche’s sisters asking her to kill her husband, Cupid. Yes, there were
parts that were hard to understand. However, I believe that was just the
language it was in. The notes provided for each section were really helpful. I
especially enjoyed the links to learn more about what was in the section. For
example, the section of The Sleep of the Dead, had a link to Wikipedia about
the famous Greek mythological character Pandora. I have never heard of Pandora until this section. Therefore, I enjoyed learning something new and learning about Pandora.
If you are unsure if you want to read this unit, I would
read the notes provided for a couple of the sections to see if you enjoy what is going
on. There are a lot of Greek God’s mentioned throughout. This could be
connected to other units that have the same Greek God’s. However, since this is
the first unit of the semester, I am not sure what exact sections can relate or
connect to this unit.
Overall, I thought that this unit was very interesting. I
was surprised with how the story went. The best part of the unit was that, I could
not predict it. Of course, I had a favorite story. In all of my blog posts this
week, I feel like I mentioned the section of Psyche's Husband Revealed. I really
enjoyed this section; it kept me wanting to keep reading and reading to find
out what was going to happen next. I was ready to know what her husband really
looked like. It also was very descriptive and I could imagine them both in my
mind perfectly. I also, loved The Wedding Feast. I love reading about happy
endings, and of course they lived happily ever after.
