Post 15: What I learned

I enjoyed this class and know some classmates as well sometimes. The most important thing I learned in this class about the literature I read was everything in "Literature to Go." It reminded me it's repeated the literature repeatedly in schools again such as elementary school, middle school, and high school. It helps me to refresh our memory and mind. I felt like ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102 similar to high school courses but a bit advance. I learned a lot of information in the class from Dr. Keith Hamon.

    I can agree that this felt very refreshing to touch up all these topics that we learned in previous schools. It definitely helped with our writing as well.

    Yeah I had fun in this class this semester. I especially enjoyed my conversation with Mr. Hamon himself. Unfortunately this is probably my English class but I did enjoy it.

    Sometimes I find English to be hard because it makes you think but I think that's what makes it a good class. Although English is enriching, I'm not looking forward to taking any others.

    I agree I actually did learn more than I expected in this class.

Post 11: Metaphor

Langston Hughes's "Harlem" metaphor compares the dream and the bomb. It felt like the metaphor reminded me of having a nightmare in my dream. Sometimes I go to sleep to keep dreaming, and there was a monster in my dream. In the poem "Harlem," it asked, "does it explode?" (432). Yes, I might get scared in the middle of the nighttime.

Post 14: 19th vs 21st Century Women in America

 In the 19th century, all women were housewives who had to take care of children and clean the house while the husband had gone to work to make money. For example, Nora never goes to college or gets a job because of 19th gender norms. Women were untreated fair and not enough freedom. All she does was cleaning the house and take care of the children, but she was very bored at home doing nothing. In the 21st century, women had the same equal right as men. Both women and men can take care of children and cleaning the house as a family. Women get a job and go to college to get an education.

Post 5: Psychology of "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"

 This story, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," takes place at the Festival of Summer in Omelas which people who are celebrating and be happy to dance around. They sacrificed an innocent child over partying and food. In the first paragraph, it said that "[c]hildren dodged in and out, their high calls rising like the swallows' crossing flights over the music and the singing" (Le Guin). The people of Omelas were to live in a utopia; they want to be happy people. I felt terrible for the children because it was untreated fair and disrespectful. Le Guin is critiquing about "[h]appiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive." In other words, it is saying that happiness predicated on simple discrimination of what's necessary, what's neither essential nor harmful, and what's harmful.
