I know this is a little late, I'm so sorry!
I can't say how much I've appreciated Honors this semester. It's so much fun having a true open forum for ideas, where you can actually throw a figurative (and literal) bone of contention into the midst of the room, and discuss hard subjects. While some of our reading has been incredibly difficult, it's been so much fun to see people ask questions because they want to know answers, not just to share their opinion, and to watch all of us emerge from lectures on Plato's circular reasoning on justice with headaches, but be so interested we have to continue his argument outside of the classroom. Honors has taken the ancient works of literature and made them applicable. We've been living the dialogues of Plato, making allegorical connections with Plato, and fighting for the rights of Orestes before the gods. No where else could we have this opportunity, and I truly appreciate it.
