Hi, my name is Omar Ruiz, my pronouns are He/him. For fun i generally like to listen to music, go to concerts, watch movies, or read any book that catches my attention. I've never really found an era of literature that I've liked the best, I think after going through quite a few, they kind've blended together in my mind. Though I hope that this class can help me change that.

My name is Noah, my pronouns are he/him. I’ve recently got into a bit of sewing, mostly just doing minor alterations. My favorite genre of literature would probably mystery, and I like eras dominated by Shakespeare because of the theatricality. I’m interested in this class because I loved literature and reading a lot when I was younger, but kind of lost that spark. I’m excited to read more and learn more about deeply understanding literature.
