English has always been my favorite subject in school. I love to read and write, so when I entered Forms of Narrative I thought it would be the same as other English classes. I was prepared to read books, memoirs, and documentaries and write boring papers that were a million pages long. I was surprised, however, to find that this class allowed me to express a more creative side of myself. The blogs that we wrote allowed us to say what we honestly thought about assignments and different aspects of the class. We were allowed, and encouraged to be funny, straight forward, and unique, even if it meant not following the traditional rules of writing that have been drilled into our heads all through previous years of schooling. The class was made to be very interesting and fun. We got to analyze TV shows, computer games, and comics. To be honest, I never read comics when I was a child so while writing about “Little Nemo” and other comics came easily to many members of the class, this was one of the more challenging assignments that I completed during the semester. I can truly say that this class was my favorite of the classes that I took during the first half of this year, and even thought the class is over, I will always play Façade and try to get them to work out their marital problems. (I have only accomplished to piss of one or the other enough to leave the apartment). All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would recommend it to any of my friends.
