During this semester, I’ve made significant progress in English literature, particularly in my writing, reading, and understanding of literary terms and aspects. The work I feel was most successful was my essay on “the handsome drowned man.” I believe it was successful because I received positive improvements and interest on my analysis and writing in the fiel of literature. I think I could have done better on poems, I struggled with interpreting some poems and expressing my thoughts clearly. In this class i have developed many skills that are relevant to real world experiences, my writing has become more coherent and structured which is essential for effective communication in any field, my reading skills have improved, allowing me to understand and analyze complex texts more efficiently. I have also learned to provide constructive comments on others’ work a valuable skill for teamwork and collaboration. There is always room for growth, generally speaking, I need to continue developing my reading and writing skills to improve my overall understanding and expression in English literature.

The work that I think was most successful was the flyer I made. I think making that flyer was very easy for me to understand as well as execute it well. I also think I was very successful in being consistent with the discussion board, I feel as this would be hard for me to do because I would get really busy and would not find the time to do them but here we are. The work that I could have done better in was the most recent essay, I should have done better and I know I could have done better but I choose the easy way out and got lazy while writing the essay. Some specific skills that I learned that might be relevant event to real world is reading peoples expressions and knowing what they mean. Overall the stories we have read in this class were actually more interesting than I thought they would be. I want to thank you professor for having such a good taste in stories and made my time in the class enjoyable.
I believe the work that was most successful for me was the flyer. The flyer was very fun to do, having myself pick a great poem to type about was interesting. I enjoyed reading different poems in order to find the right one. I got a pretty good grade, I forget some couple of things but overall it was easy, creative and fun work. I feel like I could’ve done better is the discussion board and the quizzes. The discussion boards were somewhat difficult for me to understand which stopped me from completing some discussion boards. For the quizzes, I also had difficult times trying to get a good grade on it, when doing the quiz I always felt like I am going to get a good grade but at the end it ends up being a bad grade on it. A specific skills that I learned in this class was definitely rereading a story or poem and going over every sentence or paragraph. It made this class easy for me to understand these stories that had difficult wordings. I am going to use this in the future because in the future I do want to become a teacher and it is really important to reread and understand papers that are given to me.
Some things that I have learned from this class were that skills can be valuable in various aspects of life like work, relationships with stories, and personal growth as a student. Also for example my critical thinking would involve researching different topics. This helps me think to better find what’s going on for something. This class helped me become a better reader and create things in my mind tp know what is really going on in a story.
