Semester Reflection

I feel as though I have come a long way this semester. I have had to write more essays on my own and read and analyze deeply metaphorical texts more than I have ever had to before. I tend to feel more confident in what I am writing instead of guessing and hoping that my ideas will make sense on paper. I see the arts differently now. I recognize deeper meanings in almost every book I read, movie I watch, television, etc. I especially recognize satirical humor when I see it. Before this semester, I would have thought what I was watching was funny and that it was making fun of the target, but not that it was truly exposing a flaw. I love being able to recognize these things everywhere around me. 

Not only do I recognize changes in what I experience in literature around me, but my own literature as well. I sense my writing style changing and getting better. I feel as though my writing is more clear and understandable. My hope is that next semester will take this even further for me. I would love to be able to see my writing improve at such a rate that it is now in this class. I am excited to see what I will accomplish next semester and what books and texts I will have the opportunity to experience and analyze.
