Expectations for this class
I've been in English classes where not only has it been writing intensive, but also reading intensive. That being said I hope this class is a mix of both. In previous classes I've enjoyed when the literature we read doesn't feel like a task to read. Last year when I was told that we were going to read Hamlet, my initial thought was that it was going to be boring and hard to understand because it was a Shakespeare play. I ended up being very invested in characters like Horatio and Hamlet himself, finding almost hatred for Claudius. In regard to the writing aspect of the class I hope that the writing isn't like a book report, I hated doing things like that. I enjoy writing that is more open ended and that doesn't necessarily require a solid and academic structure to it. But all in all, I'm looking forward to this class and hopefully becoming a better writer.
