A Block caught up with slide 2. Myth presentations made up most of class. More than 1/2 the class was at the college expo.
Canto I finds Dante lost in the Dark Wood of Error - you need to use this full name when asked where we find him in Canto I. He is on his way to The Mount of Joy when blocked by the three beasts (leopard, lion, she-wolf). He meets Virgil, symbol of human reason, the Roman poet of the Aeneid, who was sent by Dante's great love, Beatrice. Virgil tells him he must go the long way to reach the mount.
When reading the canti, start with the prose introduction, review the notes at the back of the canto, and then read the canto. Complete the organizer. Make sure you look for archetypes.
