Literature Has a Beginning?

My earliest memories of anything remotely related to literature were when I was around the age of two or three and my mom decided that then was a good time to get me to learn how to read and she would start with books from Dr. Seuss and the earliest I remember is the tongue twister book by the good Dr. and that used to be my favorite until I found cool dinosaur books and the good Dr. wasn't good enough. I never had nursery rhymes and those were the bedtime stories that my mom read and then would force me to read them to her. The most significant text I have read so far was an article on humor and religion and it was amazing. It was called Humor and Religion: Estranged Bedfellows. It was a great article and it was very informative on the way the church treats humor and the reasons why there is such a huge distrust of it.

Initial thoughts of this class are the same as the thoughts I had before, I still wonder if there is something wrong with Professor Corrigan and I can't place if its a good wrong or he is just crazy about English. I already know I will enjoy the class because the teaching method that was explained in his essay Literature Is a Thing You Do as Part of Life and the visual diagram that went with it (which is what made more sense to me visually) were exactly how I thought about how teachers teach now and how they should teach. This is a non traditional class and I am looking forward to it. Mainly because we get to take field trips in college and one of those field trips is to go eat at the restaurant on campus and I am not opposed to that in any way. I am ready to learn new things this year and this is a good class to start learning things in.
