This weeks notes is based off the reading "Divine Archer" by F.J. Gould. This was a very interesting read for sure as the author had a great descriptive writing style. Gould enjoyed explaining situations in the writing especially setting the environment and plot. Here are some bullet points that highlighted the reading for me.
