This week we have been reading The Inferno by Dante. I have been enjoying Dante's vile descriptions of people in his hell. In one of the rings of hell, the people are chased by bees and other flying insects while being bitten by them. Then their skin oozes blood and pus which dribbles down to their feet and is eaten by maggots. Gross. In another ring of hell, the people sent to this ring are blown around in a giant wind, never having the chance to rest. That is as far as we have gotten in reading Dante's story. I'm excited to read more of this story next week. It will boost my mood for waiting to be out of school soon.
