How I feel about writting


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.
