Well, after finishing the documentary on The Stone Reader and thinking about the class over the course of this entire semester, I have to say it ended well. I think a good way to end the class was with this movie, because it ties a lot of things together that we learned over the course of this entire semester. We have been reading and analyzing stories, not knowing if the author's are still living, have other writing pieces, or went back to their everyday life; and this documentary challenged us to really think about everything we've read.
Although this class was not in my major, but I was required to take some sort of 200 level English, I am thoroughly pleased with my decision to take this particular class. Most of the readings were enjoyable to read, with the exception of a few that didn't grasp my interests like others, and many had relate-able themes and/or situations that allowed me to enjoy the readings that much more. Prior to this class I absolutely despised reading and never thought to pick up a book, but now I know that if a book can grasp my interest it really is relaxing to sit down and read a book once in a while.
Also, I enjoyed blogging, similar to that of the "relaxing" aspect of reading. Sitting down and putting my thoughts on "paper" and reflecting what I've read really was a relaxing element to this semester and got me away from my Engineering homework at times when I definitely needed to get away and refocus. As far as any suggestions I have for future sections, I would say more interactive blogs and actually seeing what other people write and how they format their blogs.
Reading may not be at my top of my to-do list each day, but it sure is something I will most likely do more especially after this class.
