Song of Roland

So on Tuesday and Thursday we talked about the Song of Roland again.  I just find it really cool how in that small book there is so much that relates to God, Jesus, and Christianity.  As a Christian believer, I find it really neat.  Another thing is that there is quite a few things that relate back to the other books we have read in class for example, the funeral in section 109 is like the one in Homer.  Also, Roland is compared to Achilles a lot also in his attitude and tragic flaws.  In class on Tuesday, Tucker read section 149 and was laughing like crazy, that was pretty entertaining!  I enjoyed this book because of the realtions back to the Christain faith but at the same time I was getting really annoyed at the fact that everything rhymes!!
