As I’m reading Middlesex and examining this new age, queer theory literature, I find that I am reflecting a lot. Middlesex is our final novel. It represents closure to the class. And it is interesting that the book in itself is a reflection. It relflects on the life of Calliope/Cal and follows the gene that made this person who they are today and why. It made me think about this class and how I have come to be along the course. I have faced many challenges and overcome many things to better myself as a student and as a person in this class.
The history of things I have learned throughout this course began with the most important thing…the monomyth. It represented not just what this course was but also our lives in general. It helped me relate to everything we read and wrote. So as Middlesex follows the history of how a chromosome became a girl, and then a boy, I am reflecting myself on how I came to be because of this class.
A song that fits perfect with this idea of relfecting about your past journeys and how they made you who you are is the song from Anastasia called Journey to the Past. It is the perfect song for reflecting about this class!

Wow I must agree with you that this is the perfect song to sum up the entire course. Good find.
