Response to Course Material: Satisfaction

This week.

Wow.

For the first time in my entire English career, I got satisfaction, I was satisfied. Go ahead, laugh. Are we good? Done laughing? Okay. :)

In terms of actually going through and reading into each and every single line and figuring out the ambiguities of it; I was more than happy to let it happen. Although I was sorta disappointed that we didn't get into hot and heavy  heated discussions since I was so ready for two people go at each other with their theories and whatnots. But thats just because of my sadistic self and the fact that I enjoy the drama. Overall, the amount of class discussion we did and the amount of participation was a nice change than the average two or three people  talking back and forth in a regular Lit class. Some ideas are still blurry to me since I haven't finished annotating the entire play, still, I agree with lots of ideas that has been thrown out during class. which was really helpful as well. I'd go over the details of the characters and symbolism and motifs and ambiguity of Albee's play but that would take forever and who wants to read through that?

Also. Rewriting the Eros essay was a major help and I actually saw improvements in my work, not only in meaning and interpretation but also in the thought process and sophistication of my writing techniques. Those huge Diction and Syntax packets are doing their jobs!
Ohh and I really enjoyed and appreciated the terms games we played last Friday. It really helped refresh and learn some new vocab words.

So, we didn't learn much substance in terms of techniques/vocab/thingsweneedtoknow but I think with the forums and discussions, its opened my eyes to what others think.

Alast, this is the end of my response. So, I say to all a farewell and goodnight and SUCK. IT. CHEETAH. (5th hr inside joke haha.)

    I also feel like I saw improvements in my writing, even though my score did not go up! I also enjoyed the debates that took place during the discussions. So did you feel like you accomplished a lot in the amount of time we had to annotate? Personally, I felt that it was a little challenging to annotate and read between the lines, since I was not in the habit of doing so but now, I feel a bot more confident in my work.

    I agree, the terms games really do help you learn the words faster. Do you feel like knowing the words helps you understand literature better? I hope that now you understand Albee's play as a whole after completing your annotations. Do you find the annotations helpful, because I do. I also found rewriting the Eros prompt helpful. It sounds like you are getting a lot out of this class. Keep up the good work!

    I am surprised that your class actually talked. for first( at least to me) it felt as if a few talked and most people listened.
    I agree that rewriting the EROS prompt was helpful. and by the way HAHAHA.
