Roland

In class on Thursday we had to read the first 70 paragraph thingys for The Song of Roland.  While I was reading oru section for class I was honestly getting annoyed at the book.  I am fine reading things that rhyme but if it is an entire book then that gets pretty annoying.  I had to take quite a few break while reading because it was bugging me so much.  It seems like a pretty good book though, I am interested in seeing how ti turns out, even though Tucker kind of gave it away during class.  I find it really intriguing how many symbols, metaphores, and representation to the Christian faith there is in this book, I really like it.  Also, some of the books we have been reading relate back to Achilles, I wonder if all the authors planned that or if scholars have just looked into these things too much.
