My favorite project to do was my second one. I did an unessay and it was a plot summary/pitch for a t.v. show for The Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish. There is already a film titled “The Blazing World” that came out in 2021. I have not watched it, but the reviews are questionable and… Read more Final Post

I thought our padlet Collab about which scientists we would choose from “Blazing World” to research a modern day question was very thought provoking. As much as we have evolved over time scientifically, there is still so much that humans simply do not know and do not have the capability of understanding just yet.

In Dan Harrison’s post titled “Question for Nov. 17”, he says: “It seems odd that, in this paradise, the workload would be too great. I… Read more Milton Book 9 Reflection

In Milton’s Book 9, he mentions the word “office” a lot. I wonder what he means by this? Like an actual enclosed space? He says: “The skill of Artifice or Office mean,Not that which justly gives Heroic name [ 40 ]To Person or to Poem.” (Milton, 39-41). and: “The Sun was sunk, and after him the StarrOf Hesperus, whose Office… Read more Milton Book 9 Question
