This is the final blog and I wasn’t sure what to write about. I’m kind of sad to see this class coming to an end. When I look back on the entire semester and what all I have completed, I am shocked. I have learned so much about literature, poetry, writing, reading, and myself. I have never had an English class that I truly loved going to. Each day was a new experience. My writing has gotten better thoughout the semester and I have found out that I enjoy writing poetry. Writing poetry is such a great way to express yourself and write about something that is on your mind. Out of the entire semester creating the poetry book was my favorite thing. As I read through the poems I wrote at the beginning of the semester, I could tell my writing changed. I became more expressive in my writing as the semester went on.
I am still working on reading Middlesex. I am seeing some connections between the book and the movie Henry and June. On the one hand, I am kind of disappointed about the book Middlesex. I’m just not that into the book right now. I would have preferred to have read this book earlier on in the semester and ended with The Color Purple. By far that was my favorite book I have read this semester. The Color Purple went really well with the themes in the class and I could see a lot of connections to the archetypes and monomyth. I am hoping I get more into the book Middlesex to end the semester on a good note.
