1) I think the thing that has stuck
out the most to me was learning about satire literature. Though I am sure I
have read books and seen movies
that use satire but I was not about to recognize it until now.
2) Unfortunately I did not really
enjoy any of the books we read this semester. If I had to pick one that stood
out more then the others I would have to pick a modest proposal by Jonathan
Swift. Mostly because it was so strange and he proposed something so crazy that
it made it more interesting,
3) As far as learning outcomes go I
Think I managed most of the pretty well. But if I had to pick one that I think
I learned the most about is interpreting and analyzing text and identify and
evaluate multiple meanings and perspectives in language. In the past I have had
to find the “hidden meaning” but I feel like in this class the books we read
required me to look much harder and really pay attention to the details.
4) I don’t think that my writing
process has necessarily changed except for the fact I have really realized that
I need to make an effort to go back and revise and edit my papers.
5) I think one of the biggest
challenges I had in class this year was simply making sure I actually get on
and do the work each week instead of putting it off or waiting till the last
minute. Sadly it took a little long for me to consistently do that. Out of all
the assignments writing the paper for white noise was the one that was the most
challenging for me.
