Our next assigned class reading was Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Since this book is so large and we only had so much time to read it, our professor divided it out into different chapters. I was assigned to read the introduction and chapters six through ten. I took a few days to get through…

Bambi: The Book
After watching the film with my FSEM over the weekend, I began my reading of The Original Bambi by Felix Salten. Starting off with the introduction, it gives us a background of the author. It also talks about how much Disney changed the details in the film compared to the original book. Upon reading the…
Bambi: The film
Part of our grade is to attend movie screenings on the weekends. Today we watched the original Bambi movie from 1942. This movie was based on the book written by Felix Salten. I had never seen Bambi before, even the newest one so I had no previous knowledge of what happens. I’ve always thought that…
Class Visit to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum
Today our FSEM class took a trip to the Holocaust museum in DC. I had personally never been to this museum before so I was interested in getting to go through it for the first time. I, of course, learned about the Holocaust throughout middle and high school. But like most things in history, I…
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
I’m going to be honest, I had a hard time understanding the purpose of this text at first glance. I mostly just had to skim through parts of the protocols. The way they’re set up and numbered throughout just didn’t make much sense to me, but I assume it’s to describe different points of each…
Marquis De Sade: 120 Days of Sodom
As a part of our required reading for Forbidden texts, we had to read 120 Days of Sodom. This is my overall review of the book and what parts stuck out to me. Introduction: The original scroll was kept in a copper cylinder, hidden in the wall of de Sades prison cell. He was transfered…
The Gospel of Judas
Just like the previous text before, I had a difficult time feeling interested in this text. It’s just not anything I would personally read on my own time or enjoy. With that being said, I did try my hardest to think deeply when trying to understand this text. It felt like there were a lot…
The Gospel of Mary of Magdala
Our assignment was to read The Gospel of Mary of Magdala for our FSEM Forbidden Texts. Normally, I don’t read texts that surround the idea of religion but I was interested in the backstory of this one. At first, I had somewhat of a hard time getting into the text but slowly I started to…
Introducing myself!
Hello world! My name is Victoria Hunsaker and I’m currently a freshman at the University of Mary Washington! I’ve created this site as a part of my FSEM course to review our class readings but I may use it for personal use as I love reading in my free time. A little more about myself……
