Hi everyone,
It's our last week of the course. I'm caught up with the reading (none this week), and last night I binge-watched the last three lectures (about 40 minutes worth).
I enjoyed the last three lectures, and feel that she wrapped things up nicely. She gives a brief follow-up on each Ingalls family member (what they did with their adult lives, when they died, etc.), and discusses why LIW's books have been so enduring over the years.
There are a few discussion questions for the week, but I haven't really taken a look at them yet. I'll probably check in once or twice this week, then I'll consider myself done with the course. I haven't seen a certificate of completion on the site yet.
I really enjoyed re-reading these books with a more probing eye, and have gained insight into Laura's approach to writing these novels, and her collaboration with Rose. There is just so much more to these novels than meets the eye.
What are your thoughts?
