REFLECTION

 Looking back, this will hands down be my favorite class for my first semester at Farmingdale State College. Going into the class, I must mention that I was not the biggest fan of literature and truly believed that I would be bored.  However now I am a big fan of literature and over the weeks I have grown to appreciate the concepts, the subtle messages and the linking of the works of poetry and prose to the outside world. This class has helped me build on my speaking skills as you have to formulate ideas and communicate them to the class.This has helped me in the wider world as instead of being quite I can now express myself more readily. The topics  and class discussions;some discussed in subsequent posts on my blog, were profound and interesting. The way The lecturer taught didn't facilitate regurgitation but it facilitated thinking opening our eyes to the world through the analysis and understanding of literature which indeed are written by people hence a refection of the true world. The enthusiasm and the true passion for her subject is what gave some of us the drive to learn and complete the tasks at hand.
