Final Reflection

As a student, I feel like I have undergone drastic changes in the way I write and perceive texts. With a story such as the Brave New World, I am only able to observe its shallow meaning; however, through reinforced reading in class I was able to understand the intricacies that it contained. There is a culture of its own that has been brilliantly crafted by Aldous Huxley, which is simply impeccable to the current standards of writing.  Therefore, I feel that my reading of texts has grown more in-depth.

I feel that my writing has went to some great bounds compared to that of freshman year. I was able to go from correcting simple grammar mistakes, to formatting complex ideals. With my discussion with Ms. Wilson, I was able to understand the art of forming the complex idea. This initially started with the Hamlet essay and then proceeded with the Brave New World Essay.

Moreover, through this class I was able to see entertainment in a more productive fashion. It was not simply about the actors or the beautiful visual effects. The viewer had to focus on how the message is being conveyed, and whether it is being conveyed effectively. Therefore, after this class I feel as if I have transformed into an artful critic. When seeing Hamlet and What Dreams May Come, I understood the complexity of its message more than that of the beautiful visual effects. Furthermore, this class has forced me to be immersed within the artful experience of literature.
