My AP English Class
Throughout my school experience English has never been my cup of tea. I have never been good at reading, writing essays, or using higher vocabulary. So why would I want to take an advanced English class if I’m no good at it? Well, the answer is simple, I want to challenge myself. High school is filled with many challenges that come in all shapes and sizes. This class will be another challenge that I will push through, enjoy myself, and acquire knowledge. Knowledge I hope to gain from this AP English class is how to analyze novels. I want to learn to look at books from a different perspective than straightforward. Books were designed to have hidden meanings, to make you think differently, and to ultimately help you get a better understanding

    During my high school career I have endured many sleepless nights due to my insistence that I read all the books assigned to me. For my freshman and sophomore year this was no big deal. However, after junior year with McGee I have come to realize that trying to read all the texts assigned would be my demise. As much as it pained me, I had to, instead of reading then entire text, read a simple summary. This year I have managed to get by with this same method. Throughout my semester in AP Literature in Room 303 with Timothy McGee, I have enjoyed certain texts more than others, however, the level of importance of these texts is determined not by whether or not I liked the, but rather instead what they taught me and how important they might be on the AP exam. There have been a large number of books and stories that we have covered during our time, but the three that I believe are the most…

    I ask you, what is a journey? Is it something we merely physically embark on or somewhat more? Well, those who say a journey is simply physical are too naive to realise the existence of imaginative journeys. An imaginative journey is explored through speculation to come to a deeper understanding. An imaginative journey, may be one you read, see, think or relive and can often result in an individual finding a change, proving that without imagination there can be no change.…

    Through out much of history, women have been viewed as the “weaker sex”; women have been seen as less capable physically, socially, intelligently, economically and even religiously. Because of the cruel view that society has on them, women could only perform domestic tasks at home and as such remain obedient to the men their families. During 1450 to 1950, women in various societies around the world were viewed as the “weaker sex” as they are submissive under men’s control in marriage, constrained with an inferior identity, and limited in their daily social activities.…

    Throughout elementary and secondary education, challenge and regular English-Language Arts classes were offered to the student in my school districts, each with the goal to build on what the previous class had taught us. Whether it was sixth grade English where short essays and essay structure was first taught or eighth grade where the grammar and prose were drilled into our heads. Whether it was sophomore year where the challenge ELA class began writing five and six page essays or in AP Language and AP Literature where everything we had been learning was now applicable to our writing and we learned how to write a synthesis, rhetorical analysis and arguments. I truly believe that all of these classes prepared myself adequately for what was…

    Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were visionaries for the Civil rights Movement. One cannot argue that they were both passionate about equality for colored people. However, they both had different means of fighting for those rights. While Malcolm X went with a more aggressive approach, MLK wanted peace while gaining their rights. While they both have compelling arguments, I agree more with Malcolm X and his approach on this issue.…

    Throughout the semester, the Year Eight class have studied figurative language, Shakespeare, persuasive and narrative writing, as well as reviewing the role punctuation plays in ensuring clarity in writing. Chloe is a very friendly and capable student who has consistently produced work of a solid Year Eight standard. She can sometime allow herself to be distracted in class, this means that she often runs out of time to effectively edit her work. As a result of this she sometimes misses punctuation and grammatical errors that could have easily been corrected. In order to improve, Chloe will need to re-evaluate her use of class time to ensure that she leaves herself enough time to carefully edit all tasks before she submits them. I wish her all the best for next year.…
