I am not going to lie I had a lot of fun this semester.  I just wish that I understood English more so I can write better papers.  I actually really liked all the poem and short stories, and plays that we read. I definitely have a couple favorite like Happy Endings, Hamlet, Antigone, The Story of an Hour, My Last Duchess, and On the subway.  All ( Read more... )

What it means to say Phoenix Arizona was a little weird and confusing.  I mean there are a lot of people who have father that are not present in their lives. I mean I had one, I only saw my father twice in my life. Then he died when I was 12. To be honest it hurt a lot because he really was never there and I will never get the chance to know him ( Read more... )

Happy Endings is a short story that I really enjoyed. It is actually one of my papers on this.  It  is made up of six different parts of a story. She tries to tell us that no matter how we write a story, in the end, John and Mary will die. There is nothing anyone can do about it everyone is going to have to die someday right? Many love stories end ( Read more... )

Antigone was very interesting. I believed that she did the right thing, and she stood up for herself. In the beginning Antigone finds out that her father is dead. She tries to go back to Thebes before her brothers Polymerizes and Eteocles kill each other. When she arrives she finds out she is too late. They killed each other for a very stupid and ( Read more... )

Hamlet was beyond crazy and messed up. Authors back then had some serious problem. In the play Hamlet basically comes back to Denmark to seek revenge for his father.  In the beginning the guard keeps seeing the ghost of the king which is Hamlet’s father. When Hamlet talks to the ghost it tells him that he has to seek revenge, because his uncle ( Read more... )

The short story that we read was pretty interesting. I felt bad for her. The story of an hour is kind of sad story. It makes it seem like she was in an abusive relationship but her husband was just a very controlling person. It makes it seem like she didn’t really regret her marriage she just wished that she can make her own decision. Her sister ( Read more... )
