Modern Mythology 2022
Literacy and Learning: Blog #4
As we wrap up the end of the school year, one of the many life lessons that stuck out to me the most was our discussions regarding legacy. For example, in Beowulf, many of the actions taken by Beowulf himself are done in retrospect to how he will be seen in the future. Beowulf, who made himself out to seem like a selfless brave hero who wanted to die to save everyone, really did it to be remembered when he’s dead. This lesson, like many others, sparked an important question on what life means to us. Is it about the many good deeds we performed for others? Or is it the little things like eating a nice meal that makes life worth living? Does it really matter how future generations perceive you? In my opinion, I don’t care for being remembered for something great. As long as the people I liked in life have fond thoughts of me, I consider that a successful life. Anyways, something I loved about this English class is how it really brought alive ideas from literature and into our daily lives. Questions and discussions from class are ideas that I will always keep in the back of my mind.
