I liked reading about the 2nd level of Hell. When I took the test online it placed me in this level so I payed extra attention when I read about the Lustful. I liked how it described Minos and how he used his tail to.

i liked the 9th circle because of the severity of the sins

I liked the forest of the suicides. I thought it was clever how Dante refers to the breaking of the branches as "pain and pain's outlet simultaneously," and how suicide is pain and pain's outlet simultaneously also.

my favorite is circle 8, the fortune tellers, because their punishment is so perfect to the sin. It is also a funny visual when you think about their heads being on backwards.

i really enjoyed the punishment of the diviners because it was very witty and satirical how the sinners were to live the rest of eternity

I liked reading about dante and virgil's entrance into the city of dis because it was so descriptive and creepy. I could really picture all the fallen angels and the furies screeching at the gates.

yeah i liked the 9th circle, it was really tight because the sins were bad and the people were getting messed up.

i agree with hallie. the description of the gate of Dis was really cool and it seemed like a really intimidating part of hell with all the noises from the furies and the fallen angels

i also really enjoyed circle 8, the fortune tellers because their punishment represented their sin perfectly and it was very significant
