Section 8.4-8.5

Difficult: The most difficult thing for me to understand in these sections was the proofs of the Sylow Theorems, especially the proof of the second Sylow theorem. I don't understand some of the steps they take in the proofs.

Reflective: I think the idea of conjugacy is really interesting, especially conjugacy classes. It's interesting how they fit into the classification of groups problem, and the proofs of the Sylow Theorems.
