Week 15: Inferno

I'm definitely excited for these readings! I'm quite interested in religion, so weeks 3, 4, and 5 will all be enjoyable for me. I'm considering studying abroad in China soon, so I'm also looking forward to reading week 9. I've always wanted to read Dante's Inferno but never found a good opportunity, so reading some of it on week 15 will be an awesome end to this course.

I chose this image because, out of all the readings, I'm probably the most excited about Inferno. I found this image and was struck by the dark, swirling scene. 😳
