This class has definitely made me think about the evolution of stories.  Being a Bio major, all I really ever think about and accept as "true" or the concept that is "less-wrong" is biological evolution.  To me, it just makes sense.  I never thought, however, of applying biological evolution to the evolution of other things, and writing my second paper in the course helped me to do that.  In addition, now the evolution of stories seems to be a real concept to me.  And I realize that biology is also a story that is evolving over time, as all stories do.  However, I still think that the disctinction needs to be made that the story of evolution is progressively aiming towards getting things less wrong, whereas, the story of literature may not have such a goal.  Furthermore, while I definitely still appreciated the concept of evolution before taking this course, now I have been able to apply it in a new context and subjectmatter, something which has made me more appreciative and aware of its existence in our everyday lives.
