Week 9- Short Reflection

In this class through my readings, discussions, and writing I have learned a lot about American Literature since week six. Beginning with week six through week nine, I have learned about the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, the adoption of the Bill of Rights, and so much more. Through my discussions I had the chance to discuss with my classmates about civil and public virtues that a democratic republic must implant in it’s citizens, personal virtues, the carefulness of the separation of the church and the state, and how the first amendment played roles in creating a secure union and ensuring freedom of speech. Through my writings I got the chance to write 20 virtues that could help me live a better life and beliefs from the literature in the British colonies that exist in the Modern America. I had the chance to read different versions of the Bill of Rights and reading about the drafting process of the Declaration of Independence.
