English Semesters

This year, I am looking forward to being exposed to new genres of literature that I would not normally read. I'm excited to be able to relate real world history with literature. Even though the work load is already pretty heavy right now, considering I never had homework the last two years, I think its going to be a good semester. I am especially excited to read The Great Gatsby, because I saw the movie and it's now one of my favorites. I have never heard of the first book we are supposed to read, so I'm just going to keep an open-mind about it. Although, from how Ms. Laxton has been talking about it, it sounds like it's going to be a pretty hard book. English is not my favorite subject, but it's almost my favorite. I like to read, but I only like to read books that interest me. My English teacher last year picked out books that were hard to read, because they were so boring. I am hoping that I don't find the books this semester to be boring. In conclusion, I am excited about taking English 3, and will try to enjoy the curriculum, even if it's not very interesting.
