The first day of class I believed that we were only going to focus on the evolution theory so that I could finally figure out at least the basics.  I wanted to know the evidence behind the theory.  Well, I was in for a surprise. Yes, we did talk about evolution but how it pertained to all sorts of subjects or ideas.  I never thought of science and literature being connected except that in order to write you at least need to know the basics of writing.  On Thursday we made analogies about how we first thought of science and literature with them being separate islands and now we have built a bridge between them.  Or seeing science and literature on the same island with just borders that separate but are easy to cross.  I kept thinking about a membrane, letting only certain things cross while keeping others at their different sides.  I still see science and literature as separate but connected where they each have their own evolution and have once been connected into one but then diverged.  Now there are some ways that they are similar that can be transported from one side to another.  I have to say that I enjoyed this class. I have now started to question myself and my thoughts and even what I am learning today.  I guess the class helped me get one step closer to becoming an individual thinker instead of just believing every single word that comes out of a person's mouth.  I can take in all sides and then figure out my opinion and keep evolving my ideas.
