Zaria Gordon Discussion #15

1. Which assignment do you feel was most successful and why?

Essay #3, which focused on a poetry flyer and presentation, stands out as my most successful assignment. I believe this is because it resonated deeply with me, allowing me to express my personal connection to a poem that truly spoke to my soul. The assignment provided the freedom to unleash my creativity, and I thoroughly enjoyed designing the flyer to capture the essence of the poem. I was able to explore themes and emotions that touched me, making the entire experience not only fulfilling but also a true reflection of my artistic voice.

2. On what work do you feel you could have done better and how?

Essay #4 did not reflect my true abilities. Unfortunately, my struggles with procrastination and poor time management significantly impacted the quality of my work. I found myself rushing through the assignment, skimming over important details and ideas. As a result, the final product lacked the depth and thoughtfulness I strive for in my writing. I wish I had allowed myself more time to really engage with the material and hone my arguments to match my standards.

3. If there was one thing you learned this semester, what was it?

During this semester, I discovered a wealth of fascinating literature that opened my eyes to new worlds. Before taking this class, I had never explored the realm of poetry. Each piece I encountered captivated my imagination and ignited a deep curiosity within me. The rich language and intricate storytelling of the authors drew me in, making me eager to delve deeper into these genres and uncover the layers of meaning and emotion hidden within their words.
