final post- #16

So first semester of Ap English...not my favorite. Of course I'm going to say this, but i did get some benefits out of this. This first semester i have gained some great skills, like how to write a good thesis statement, how to look past the surface of a story, or even how to argue my point. However I have not mastered them, duh! Yet I enjoyed this class being a little more challenging, I like how i have to challenge myself to try harder and learn more things. I hope this continues in the second semester. Now some of the things i didn't like. For one these blogs, I'm not very good at expressing my views and writing a random post. I'm sure these will help me someday but here in the present I'm not very happy with them. For next semester i hope to gain new ideas abut seeing literature. I hope to really start to understand what the authors want me to see. I really want to be able to see the real meaning behind the words. I also want to be able to get better at writing, whether it be research or analysis, i hope to be able to write my ideas clearly and in a intellectual manner. Other than the obvious not liking doing homework and blogs, i have enjoyed my first semester of Ap English, i hope to continue gaining new things to further my education.
