Final Reflective Letter

Dear Marlen,

Now that the class is nearly over I am sad. I have enjoyed this class very much, even though for the first part I felt that I was struggling. I like that this class isn’t just another blow off English class because that means when I get my final grades and I get an A I will feel good and confident that I achieved that. This class was well worth it, even though it was hard at times.

My favorite book was Middlesex. I am not completely finished with it yet but I still like it. It was slow at first but it really picked up at about page 70. I however did not like Henry and June. It was bizarre and I just felt like I was watching a porno. I was just no prepared for that much sex. It’s not like I haven’t been exposed to other movies that have sexual scenes but that was majority of the movie. I liked learning about queer theory and feminism. Those both opened my eyes to different things that I was never exposed to before in a literature class.

I liked many things about the class. One was that it was the class was mostly discussion. It helped me to see things in others point of view rather than just my own. It helps to know that sometimes other people feel the way I do about the class. I think that by discussing things we really make connections to life and to other literature. The groups work out good because we get to discuss things, like if you didn’t pick up something in the reading someone else may have and they can share that with you. I like that you know our names and we aren’t just students in you class. It’s like you really want to know us and get to know what we are thinking. I like that we do mostly everything online. I think blogs are easy. Having a class webpage is easy for me to read when and what my homework is. Instead of you having to tell us what it is or hand us out papers about it I just read it online. I like that we don’t just do book reports, because those get old.

I would defiantly take another class from you if I had the chance, however I have taken all my required English’s. I feel like I have grown as a person and that this class was very worthwhile. Thanks for a great semester.

Sincerely,

Amanda Emricko
