I have always loved the arts. It has been a passion of mine for years. So, coming into this English class, nothing seemed new to me. I have been to many different art museums, and I have seen tons of musical performances. However, I have learned how to express my opinions of different types of art through my writing. This class definitely helped me learn the different events Penn State offers around campus. I never even thought about going to a poetry reading before I took this course. However, now I know that Penn State offers them, and it is something I can see myself attending.
I never considered myself a good writer – I always figured I had other talents. Because of this class, I feel like I can better express my arguments in my writing. I learned a little about the different appeals in high school, but I never used them as much as this class. Also, in high school, we spent more time reading and analyzing novels and different pieces of writing than we did actually writing. This class better prepared me for the different types of papers I will have to write in the rest of my time at Penn State.
I will definitely take away a lot from English 15S. I learned more about writing than I ever did in high school. Thanks Sheila for being such a fabulous teacher! :)
