Hi, everyone!
Welcome to my little world here, and I will try my best to explore our RMST, literature and cultures of the romance world. :D
I am Jiachen Cao. And all my friends and classmates call me Miyaki, which is easier to remember. I am a 4th-year student at UBC, and my major is psychology. I do think psychology and our course RMST could benefit me together, because psychology can help me to know more about human's mind, and behaviors. Especially culture psychology, I studied a lot of things about human interaction and communication. What I think about literature is that it actually is one of the ways that people communicate. It is even more amazing because people nowadays can read books that people in the past wrote. So in a greater dimension and time, literature let more people to interact!
Our first RMST lecture is actually interesting! I love to see all other classmates' different ideas, which are amazing! Especially, when we discussed that literature does not always have a message, which changed my simple way of thinking about literature!
Well, in my opinion, anything we write down, or display is to deliver information. And literature as a way to share, deliver that information should be the same as saying giving a message. I wonder if this could be a reason to say all literature have a message since it is something that you share to others and others get information from it. This is my question.
Nice to meet you! I have a hamster that physically passed away too! His name is Pumpkin and he lives in my backyard now.
回复删除Hi, Miranda. Nice to meet you too!! That is so nice to hear that Pumpkin stays peacefully just in your backyard. Feels like he is always beside you and being protected. That is so nice.
删除Hi there! I enjoyed the first lecture and hearing everyone's thoughts as well. I really liked reading your post and am looking forward to class together!
回复删除Hi Emily, I am glad to hear that you also liked the first lecture!
删除Hi Miyaki, and welcome to the course! Our household has gone through two hamsters and a gerbil over the years...
回复删除I'm so glad you're up for the challenge of this course! I think you will soon feel much more comfortable.
And yes, literature may well in part be about delivering information or a "message." But I'm trying to suggest it's also about much more... about making us feel in particular ways.
Hi, thank you so much for the encouragement! That is very sweet. Also, thank you for answering my question!
