When I wrote my essay on how this reflected me, I think it made me surprised to make me feel a little sucessful because I was able to learn these new strategies, terms, and themes or lessons. Throughout the class, having to read and analyze has educated me to become a better writer which I was hoping for. I didn’t think one of the things that also helped me for what I was looking was simply having to search some scholarly sources to look into more information on a topic or see across from a wider range of audiences to know what their thinking is, meaning I would simply have little trouble when it comes to making some kind of review. Honestly, as someone who wants to write a better novel someday, this class has helped me just a little more because now the strategies taught to me can be put to better use. I don’t think I can express a better way to be grateful.
