What a Semester

What happened the semester is already over I can't believe it! I will be honest when the first week of this class started I was a little nervous as this is an American literature class and as I have stated before I really don't read that much so I was really dreading this class. Then I saw the layout or outline from week to week with a different approach with the pods so I got even more nervous. As the weeks went by so did the pods and yes for me there was a lot of reading to someone else this reading may have been very light or easy, but for me this was a chore at least at first then I realized that this reading thing wasn't that bad. All the reading just kind of came together with all the pods and reading became less of a chore now don't get me wrong I do not plan on grabbing the biggest novel and reading it, but I don't fear reading a big story now if I have to and that is thanks to this class so thank you and I hope everyone had a great semester.

express yourself

Ah yes, poetry is such sweet sorrow, that is a phrase that is commonly heard or said when referring to the written works of art that is poetry and yes there usually is a lot of sorrow in poetry but there is also a lot of fun or happy things in poems. The beautiful thing about poetry is you can really write about anything that you want and make it sound as happy, sad, light, or dark as you want in a beautiful little story. Those little stories are all stories or forms of expressing yourself and your feelings about any certain subject which I believe is very crucial throughout a persons life there are many of different ways a person can express themselves as millions of people do on a daily basis, but there are people troubled out there that do need help finding a way to express themselves in a positive manner. I believe there needs to be more people expressing themselves in a more positive way especially children and young adults and one great way of doing that is by reading and writing in any form. Of course that is not the only positive way to express yourself as there are countless others but the point is I hope everyone can help themselves and/or others by finding what fits them as a person in a positive way.
