Scenes of a Latin Quarter, Rent and the Opera Lecture

I thought reading Scenes from a Latin Quarter was alright. My favorite chapter was chapter 1. This chapter showed how easy it is to make connections and friends. In chapter 1, Schaunard was basically evicted from his home. He went to a place to eat where he met Colline and Rodolphe, and they basically instantly became friends. Later, Schaunard and his new friends went back to his room, which was already occupied by a new tenant, Marcel. Schaunard and his friends basically invited Marcel to the group, and they quickly became friends.

Rent was alright. I could connect it to Scenes of a Latin Quarter, as they were both talking about artists who struggle with money. The artists in Rent were living through the AIDS epidemic.

I did not like the opera. I personally do not listen to music, nor do I have opinions on it, but I personally do not like classical music. My mom used to play classical music in the car, so that’s why I do not enjoy it. Since I do not like classical music or music of that sort, it made the opera not very enjoyable.
