Before I started writing in college I was accustom to analyzing passages
out of a book, or a poem. I was also use to never writing in first person,
explaining many of my points from a generic point of view. My teacher in High
School only ever wrote in this fashion. So I was good at that. However I
learned in college how to write what I felt, how I was doing, what I saw. It
was very different from what I was accustom to, but at the same time had always
dreamed of writing in this style. If you read a book you do not hear the author
doing an analysis of the way that the sky is blue or the character has a deeper
meaning, you read about the characters feelings and how the storyline is developed.
You read it for the enjoyment not to do an analysis. I enjoyed writing in
college because it allowed me to open up and write like an author, verses doing
an analysis. I feel very prepared for English next semester because I am
now much better rounded in my writing abilities. I also learned how to use the analysis
that I learned in my high school English class for real life applications. I
wish that my teacher had taught me how to analyze a movie or a picture instead
of a short story of a poem. Being able to analyze what happens in a movie and
in a larger case life is much more important then being able to analyze a poem.
I can not wait for English next semester.
