Week 14: Dante's Inferno

Examining the Un-Textbook made me excited for what is to come in the semester. I am interested in reading a variety of notable stories that I kind of understand or heard of, such as Beowulf and King Arthur, but do not truly know. These are stories I always wanted to read due to their cultural significance but simply did not have the opportunity to do so. I am really interested in delving into stories that are culturally popular as well as mythological stories.

Dante and Virgil: Dante's Inferno is a story that I have heard of for many years but have no real idea of its significance or content. I am excited to see what the story is about!

Week 7 Story: The Clever Husband and Wife

There was one a single servant named Amihan living on large banana plantation. Despite being a solid worker, he was often sad because he was alone.
