Dante

I finally got around to reading "Epistle to Con Grande," which Doug had attached as a link to his blog. I took interest in this reading, especially point five in which truth and dependence are discussed. The statements became somewhat confusing, but simply states that there are such things that depend on something else. the differences and similarities between comedy and tragedy clearly outlined. I liked in which he throughly described each one.

*Some vocab from the reading:
Exordium: opening section
Proemium: preface
Compendiously: full; concise
Circumlocution: using more words than needed to describe something
*(With thanks to Encarta Dictionary)
