• In her article, Baym gives us the historical background as to why women were not seen as excellent fictional writers. She argues that because at the time American literature was solely focused on how American the writing was, based on the American Myth, it was not expected for a woman to conform to this idea because of what the American myth entailed the content of the writing to be.  And even if she was to write conforming to the American myth, it would be seen as “superfluous sexual specialization.” Baym had three partials that made up the whole reason as to why women were not recognized for their writings: simple bias, women have not written “excellent” works and literature happens to be essentially male. In my discussion, I will be talking about how these three parts actually intertwine with one another and how the American myth hinders women from writing what is seen as “excellent” writing.

• Bynum in her article argues that the diety of God the father (or mother) in Christian theology is actually a female. She also eludes to the idea that even Jesus and the Holy Spirit may be female too…Although I won’t be going too deep into this article, I will address it and input what I think about it.

TRAVEL AND ENCOUNTER by MARCO POLO

After reading the text and the fact that I myself and the main character in this Tale (IBN BATTUTA) share the same religious belief. I would love to focus or center my discussion with the class on “The coexistence of different religion in a perfect harmony, and the open minded characters of IBN BATTUTA himself). Knowing that IBN BATTUTA is a Muslim scholar as he was announced in the text, therefore I have to admit that I’m very impressed of the admiration that he was displaying toward these people who had different religious believe from him. Such a behavior says nothing but how open minded he was.

I believe that this article is mainly focused in one hand on the description of Jerusalem and its surrounding regions and the description of the city of Contantinople (Istanbul) and Monks in the other. However, we also have the fact  in the text that even with different religious believe, people can still live together in perfect harmony.

John Mandeville is written about a exploration written by a Christian native point of view. John Mandeville first discusses about the customs in the Isle of Lamory and explains how the earth is round by the angle of the Antarctic Star and based on ancient astronomers and philosophers. He ends off by explaining about another custom of kings on the isands near Prester John’s Land. I will like to bring up the relation and connection of Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta and John Mandeville have in common. How Mandeville discusses the geographical and cultural aspects of the places he has visited. I will like to also discuss about the trustworthy-ness we have for this writing and how believable his writing came to be.
