This is probably going to be my last blog because the semester is almost over and I have done all the previous blogs before this one. I am kind of glad that I am going to be done with blogs…I am also going to be done with English forever too! English is not my subject…I am more of a math and science kind of girl. I know, I know you will never escape English because it is all around you and you still have to write papers, emails, letters, etc. in the work force. I am studying to be an engineer and I know you will need English to be an engineer too. I am not really sure why I am not a fan of English, maybe it is because I am not a fan of analyzing literature because every time I was sure I was right the teacher would always say I was wrong. I just told the teacher how it affected me, how could that be wrong? I also never liked that the grading was/is subjective and there is not really any clear right or wrong answer like in math and science. Poetry, I dreaded that the worst. It was not that I hated poems, it was that every time I told the message I got out of the poem, or how the poem affected me it was wrong. It was wrong because that is not what the author intended. I did not live in the 1400s; I feel some things differently than they did back them especially when I was only thirteen years old. It is not my fault I could not feel what I grown man felt in the 1400s, when I was only a thirteen year old girl (not mature enough yet). I think a lot of it had to do with the lifestyle is different, the worries are different, and innocence’s is different. A thirteen year old girl still innocent but lives completely different than the poets back then did.
I really do enjoy English in college, it is completely different than in high school and I think that is what I liked the most. My teacher in college showed me that English is not as bad as it once was. This could be because I matured more and have experienced more.
If you are not a fan of English like me do not give up, you could meet a teacher than might change that opinion a little.

ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww... I think you have a unique perspective, Alexandra, and I hope you continue to write, here and there, when necessary, and to express yourself. Not many people are as pure of heart as you are, so it's interesting to read the things you write. Anyway. I'm happy the semester is almost over too! Or, I will be when I'm done with all my grading and projects. :/
