In-class Writings:
In-class Writing #1:
Do you read? What?
Yes, I enjoy reading almost anything. I like a variety of genres and authors. I enjoy anything from short stories by Flannery O’connor to Animal Farm by George Orwell to the tragic love story, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and even a few fantasy’s from time to time.
Do you like to write? What?
I am not a huge fan of writing. I don’t mind doing reports and essays but creatively I do not enjoy writing my own stories.
Best reading or writing memory?
My favorite reading memory is from the novel Wuthering Heights. I was so impressed with Emily Bronte’s ability to create such a realistic portrayal of human emotions. I was impressed by the authenticity of her characters and most especially the inclusion of the nature/nurture argument. It is, as you can probably tell, my favorite novel.
Worst reading or writing memory?
Every timed writing is my worst writing memory.
One goal for this class:
I would like to progress as a writer both creatively and grammatically. I want to be knowledgeable in all aspects of writing to help prepare me for the future.
