Most Stressful - The most stressful moment in this class was probably trying to finish reading the whole last part of Huck Finn in one might after procrastinating for a week. Even though I had a very busy week, I should have forcibly created time to read at least 5 pages a day. Easiest - The easiest homework assignments in this class were taking notes on "They Say, I Say" and the "Language of Composition" book because all you had to do was copy down and summarize the main points of the chapters.]]> 2019-12-17 16:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/338082/8hxvkpggfqad/wish/425085121 338082 https://padlet.com/338082/8hxvkpggfqad/wish/425085553 The prison door from the Scarlet Letter made an impact on me because it was the first time I learned that something seemingly simple can have deep meaning to it.]]> 2019-12-17 16:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/338082/8hxvkpggfqad/wish/425085553 338082 https://padlet.com/338082/8hxvkpggfqad/wish/425085855 Reflecting on the past year, I think I've grown a lot in every aspect of English, specifically in writing. Up until last year, my teachers had made me focus mostly on the grammatical aspects of essays but this year has been a whole new experience for me in the sense that I've learned about rhetorical devices (which I haven't heard until this year), and learned more about the purpose of writing essays rather than just writing them for a grade.]]> 2019-12-17 16:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/338082/8hxvkpggfqad/wish/425085855 338082 https://padlet.com/338082/8hxvkpggfqad/wish/425085961 Next semester, I hope we spend some time going over the major rhetorical devices that are most commonly utilized. Since we write a lot of rhetorical essays, it would be helpful being able to immediately recognize the types of devices that an author uses, and writing essays would be much easier. I know that we can study rhetorical devices through the extra credit videos, but it would be nice if we could go over them more specifically in class rather than generally.]]> 2019-12-17 16:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/338082/8hxvkpggfqad/wish/425085961
