This week we had to write two very awful essays. The only thing I learned, besides how symbolism and characterization are kind of not that bad to learn about, is how I cannot read when there are people talking right next to me. Like wow, I think my biggest pet peeve in life is when people talk when you are trying to read in designated quiet time for reading. I picked the worst seat in the class I think because, I’m not going to name names, but a sit next to the chattiest people around. Anyway, one of the essays I wrote about with my partner, Harry, was about symbolism. With my background in hating poetry and everything, I kind of assumed I would hate doing these essays, but surprisingly, I found it fairly easy to pick up on the symbolism used in the stories. I was also surprised how much I kind of enjoyed the stories. Characterization, the second essay topic was a bit harder, but in the end still way better than poetry. I think it was harder because of the story we chose, Sonny’s Blues. The story was very long, and not that interesting. My SSR book, which I really enjoy, is going pretty well. Other than me not getting many pages read, though I think I’m still on track with my reading rate, I’m having a pretty good time reading it. It’s very different to anything I’ve read before, and it’s very funny.
