English has never been my favorite subject in school but at college I have begun to enjoy it. While I do enjoy reading I don't enjoy writing papers. This semester in English has been a good experience and I enjoyed it.
In particular, I enjoyed reading 'Oedipus', 'The Lottery', and I enjoyed the poetry section. Professor Candia is the first English professor I have had who has placed so much emphasis on an Authors background. Now that I have learned this way I am surprised that more teachers do not do this as it seems to usually have a large impact on their writing. Especially with the author I have chosen Kurt Vonnegut his life experiences very clearly reflect in his writing especially in 'Slaughterhouse Five'.
If I were to have one complaint about this class it would just be that the blog was separate from blackboard. Blackboard is nice for students because it allows us to have everything we need in one convenient location. I understand that the blog gives Professor Candia more freedom but because of not thinking to check the blog I did miss some information that I would have gotten had we used blackboard.
Overall I enjoyed this semester in English and think that all of the stories we read were very interesting.
