Attending this class has giving me the knowledge of American literature. This is the first time I am taking the opportunity to read about American literature and I am enjoying the experience. I can see the evolution from the beginning of the class so far. I am picking up the practice of reading older texts, which to me means a more thorough reading and understanding of the context as a whole.
Learning about Poe, nature, and slavery has giving me another view of the world. As I post on my blog, I can show the progress of my learning and the evolution of each one. I think the one that could best express my opinion about something, was the post talking about an American social problem “Immigration in America”. Another one where I showed knowledge about the reflection we had during the week was the post talking about a full life “Living the Full Life and Defining Your Best Self”, where I inserted the nature theme and did a mix with my opinion of life.
What has helped me a lot to interpret the texts is the research that I make on the internet or in other books on the same themes that are being studied. Whenever I write an essay I begin to consider the points I want to address by summarizing the general idea, subsequent to I initiate to write what comes to me in the head, finally I edit my own ideas and text, making it a substantial and coherent text.
I hope to be doing a good job in the production of texts and also in how to expose it to the other students and professor. For me the greatest reward is to reach readers and make them interact with me so we can exchange experiences and opinions.
