This class started off extremely rough for me. At first I really thought about maybe taking it another time. WHY? Well, I thought that if I didn’t do it now that I would be better later. Obviously, I realized that was a ridiculous decision. I felt that there would be no way that I could understand the Wars and that because it wasn’t something that interests me I wouldn’t be able to write about it. However, that now isn’t the case. Since I am not a big reader and I had no interest in the War I had to convince myself that it would be something I would take interest in. After the first couple reading assignments I became so interested in the topic Mrs. Cline had for me. (The class) The first couple essays were pretty tough for me to write. I was lost for words and couldn’t express anything. I felt an abundance of emotion and for me that was hard to focus on the analysis of the writing’s. I thought to myself, Ok this is not about me and how I feel—rather it’s merely an assignment. The analysis part is far more different then the other types of writing I have done in the past. Usually you are required to just compare/contrast or relate to the story is some way. So this was different for me. I really felt at first that I would not be able to do—however I think I got the gist of it. During the second half of the semester I would like to improve how I analyze writing without putting a lot of “how I feel” in my writing. It’s difficult for me to set aside how the writing has affected me as a person. I really enjoy these types of books/stories and I plan to continue reading more.
