REFLECTION

       Overall from this semester I have learned a lot of things from my class which is English 102 Literature For The Soul. Overall I had a really amazing experience by myself and with my peers I feel like this class helped me grow as a person and to look at things more openly. Not only my skills in writing and thinking advanced but so did my confidence in sharing my personal ideas and opinions because class felt like a safe space to express myself.

THREE OF MY FAVORITE LECTURES!!!!

  Thursday, 2/1 "Antigone" Assignment #2: Title: Antigone “character characteristics and conflicts” I Loved reading this short story Antigone. It was one of my favorites. After doing this assignment I had to learn some of the adjectives of Creon, Ismene and antigone so I had a better understanding of how the characters were overall and what their character traits were. I had learned how Croen was selfish and two-faced. I also learned how Antigone was brave and bold and believed in doing the right thing. And I also learned how Ismene was very shy and did not know how to defend herself but she did try to be there for her sister.  I also read about the conflicts of the story which I had found so interesting, one of them being Antigone and Creon fighting over burying Polynice's body. And the other conflict being Haemon and Creon fighting over releasing antigone. After writing all these facts that I was able to present to the class when I was questioning about it, this assig...
