English 1102

In this class I have learned to watch for details when writing the paper. Details make a persons interest either very high or very low. Our discussions or "debates" have taught me that everyone has their own opinion and the world can have different points of interest to back up their opinions. Peers are not your friends, but people to compare your ideas of life against. Stories like Barn Building and Good Country People are stories that I can relate to. Me being so country and raised in the old time ways relate to Barn Building in ways such as the P.T.S.D. was in my family at one time, having to work very hard to make a living, and trusting my dad with my life and protecting him with everything including lies. As for Good Country People it describes my family to a T. The only part of the entire semester I disliked was eighty percent of the stories we had to read were usually very depressing or about violence. I understand that most good stories are about a hard time in life, but there is also the stories that can make people laugh, be happy, and even change their lives. All in all the class was very entertaining and insightful. Just change the stories we read and the class would be awesome!
