Western Civ Study Session

Janet is running the study session Dr. Pierson mentioned at Friday's class. Which means she's sitting there with her notes and a sign-in sheet and waiting for anyone who wants the extra help to show up.


OOC: About to leave work. Responses will be slow as I'll be offline from about 6:30 - 9:00.

Molly was slightly reassured that they wouldn't be blind-sided by something unexpected. Slightly.

She gave Archie an unsure smile in return then turned to Janet. "So, we can pick our essay topics today and figure out what to write?"

"That's what I'm doing," she said. "Want me to flip through my notes and come up with some suggestions?"

"I certainly wouldn't object," said Archie, somewhat abashed.

"Me either," Molly added.

"Hold on, then," said Janet, going back to the start of her notes. "Okay, there's cultural stagnation versus a growing, adapting civilization--in other words, Egypt versus Crete. There's also Crete's seafaring ways and how it affected its culture. There's Egyptian religion, mummification, and the soul. Greek wars, Greek warleaders. Sumeria's contributions to modern culture, such as agriculture, codified laws, and writing."

Janet looked up and grinned. "That's enough to get anybody shell-shocked, right? I know I'm about there, and I know this stuff."

"Oh, dear God," groaned Archie, scribbling all of this down as clearly as he could.

"Don't worry about writing all of it down," said Janet. "Pick three things. Maybe four, just in case you want something extra on hand. I would think you might want to write about Crete's seafaring culture, and possibly the cultural stagnation versus the changing civilization concept. You had a lot to say on that when we covered it in class."
