Reflection

The English 1102 class was overall a good class.  I thought that looking through dramas, although it was a tad slow at first, proved helpful and interesting, since I had never analyzed any other dramas besides Shakespeare.  I would have liked to learn more about Shakespeare and break down one of his plays.  Death of a Salesman I thought was bland, to be honest.  But, other than that, the dramas were something new and enjoyable
Something that surprised me were these Guided Readings.  I do not mind writing them, but the time as to which they are do is very inconvenient since I typically have high school till 3:15 and then some sort of practice till 5:30.  But, conceptually they are very helpful, as they forced me to analyze the literature. 
The formalist writing was a good idea, in my opinion.  I have never had to come up with my own ideas, and although it was challenging, I proved to myself that I could write an original paper completely independent of outside resources.  This was a task that I had never done while in high school. 
All in all the class was very helpful in grasping concepts of literature.  I'm happy I took the course.
