Ah…nothing good lasts for all of eternity. If it did it wouldn’t be so good now would it? As we near the ending of this course I really want to take my time and think of all the great short stories we’ve come across from “The House of Usher,” to “The Yellow Wallpaper,” and my favorite “The House of Asterion.” All great stories even the ones that weren’t mentioned, I hope that one day I come across these stories in a fleeting moment and think back to the feelings they inspired, to the course I enjoyed so much and had the honor of calling my first class in college, and the freeing feeling of being able to express myself on a deeper sense through literature. I would also love to recount this great book that was recommended…” The Devil in Silver,” just saying the name alone right now makes me sigh softly and think of the small journey I had while reading the book, the ups and lows it made me feel and the morbid and harsh reality the book presents. If I could give physical value and significance to this course–other than the grade I receive after completion–it would be this book, this book allowed me to grow and see a reflection of myself…it allowed me to understand and face problems I’ve never looked into. And best of all the brief but rich journey I was allowed to experience.

Thank you Professor Otte….thank you.
