Difficult:
I do not completely understand the concept of G(p), therefore it was difficult for me to understand the proof of Lemma 8.4. The paragraph at the top of page 255 is also confusing to me. I do not understand exactly what a p-group is or an element of masimal order. Also, even though the book said that I should be able to follow the logic of the proof of lemma 8.6, it was difficult for me to follow. I still do not understand it.
Reflective:
What we are now learning about groups has gotten to be very detailed that it is difficult for me to follow most ideas and concepts. I do like groups better than rings for some reason. I think it is because I think that they are more visual. A cyclic group, for example, is a group that I can visualize very well. So, hopefully as I do problems relating to this section I can better visualize what is happening.
