Wikipedia Trail Week 9

1)      “The influence of oral traditions on modern writers”. https://www.britannica.com/art/African-literature/The-influence-of-oral-traditions-on-modern-writers.

·         I decided to choose an article from the announcements and start from there.

·         I wanted to choose a recent one so I chose this link in the announcements.

·         I learned that some works weren’t just imitation from oral traditions but developed into new literary traditions.

2)      “Folk Literature”. https://www.britannica.com/art/folk-literature.

·         I just clicked random link to see where it would take me.

·         It took me further into Britannica.

·         I learned that there is no way to learn the origins of folk literature.

3)      “Serbian literature”. https://www.britannica.com/art/Serbian-literature.

·         I clicked whatever was the closest link and it was this one.

·         At this point, I am just being taken further into Britannica.

·         I learned that no significant revival of Serbian literature actually happened until the 18^th Century. That’s a long time.

4)      “St. Sava”. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Sava.

·         I wanted a link that wasn’t on Britannica, but I couldn’t find one so I clicked the next thing I saw again.

·         St. Sava was a Serbian noble.

·         I learned that Sava had to return to Serbia after his father’s death to become superior of the monastery.
