I think its supposed to be like how Dante goes to each layer of hell ( aka levels) and has to fight different monsters. In a video game you fight monsters and then when you beat them you either become stronger or get something out of it and thats what happens to Dante. I'm not good with video games either but I think thats what Mrs. Deckard was talking about. Hopefully a boy will respond to see if I'm right.
Yeah i definitely agree with Rachel. I also think what Ms. Deckard was trying to get at with the video games was the importance of numbers, and how they are expressed through a lot of different things.
Coincidentally, there's a game coming out based on Dante's Divine Comedy called "Dante's Inferno".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante%27s_Inferno_(video_game)
The game itself doesn't look that great, honestly. I'm a big fan of video games, so I've got high standards.
Also, I think this is kind of important to mention. As I was looking through the classwork today (since I wasn't here, I don't really know what happened in class), I noticed that on the bellwork, there was a picture of Ganondorf, the ubiquitous bad guy, who appears in some way, shape, or form in every Legend of Zelda game (excluding two or three, and there are around 13 games so far). I thought it was important to mention that in every Zelda game, there is always someone who accompanies you, much like Virgil with Dante. I've played and beaten a total of six Legend of Zelda games, and in every game you have a guide who helps you through dungeons and quests in order to make you strong enough to defeat the bad guy.
As for Mario, the only guide you have there is Toad, and no one cares about Toad.
That's actually really interesting, Shiloh. I feel like it is much easier to understand certian material (especially very old material) when there is something modern I can use to relate it to. It helps with concepts and in this case visualisation.
