I think this semester when fairly well in this class. I thought it was very challenging, but also very thought-provoking and thoroughly interesting. I enjoyed reading Swift and learning about satire. I found Golding's Lord of the Flies to be a very good read and discussion topic in class. And even though this may sound crazy, I enjoyed writing the Lord of the Flies paper at the end of the unit. I felt that I learned even more trying to put my thoughts down on paper than just discussing. There are so many levels and ideas that can float around during a discussion, it is very hard to keep track of them all. I liked organizing these ideas, metaphors, and symbols because I gained a greater understanding of the book overall.
I also look forward to next semester's challenges and topics. I hope, of course, it becomes an easy class, but I know that will not happen and I will have to work. But I prepared to do so and will hopefully have fun engaging in the deep and profound topics we delve into.
