My Love For Literature

Compare and contrast essays allow the student to display the similarities and differences between the themes, characteristics, and style of two or more pieces of literature. Résumés help students present their accomplishments and education formally. Students learn to explore databases for critical information when working on a research paper. Ethos, pathos, and logos are key elements used in a successful persuasive essay. English students are instructed to write poetry to explore different writing styles and focus on rhythms. Writing is important curriculum to learn, but speech also crucial to

Since elementary school English was always my favorite subject. I knew that reading and writing were essential to my learning for me to succeed. Growing up I was always in love with writing stories about my life, so when it came to my English class it was always a breeze for me. I remember being in Ms. Eaton’s class which was when I first was introduced to how to write a narrative. Not only did this class help me become a better writer at such young age but also improved my reading skills so much. I was always in activities that improved my overall techniques in English.

Throughout high school my passion were the greats, Shakespeare, Poe, Hemingway, Dickens, Twain, and the list goes on. In particular Shakespeare picked my brain constantly. His works have survived and remain triumphant even today. Though teachings were shallow I still remained engulfed by his works. Which lead me to dive into English on the banks of the Red Cedar.

As one may be aware, a typical English class, at least that of which I am aware of, consists primarily of two of the fundamental functions of widely accepted language skills: reading and writing. This common theme unifying the English education of students worldwide, as a basic expectation, constructs the curriculum of the AP English Literature class. In effect, students of the class, not limited to but including me, can expect a selection of novels, plays, and other mediums of language that will range from the most interesting to the greatest degree of banality possible. As a result, the natural progression of skill development, in terms of reading and writing, proves to be an inherent process, not necessarily in aim, with considerations of

Growing up within a family with a tremendous passion of reading, I have been captivated by books since my childhood. My father was a very good reader and I my eldest brother is a poet. I, therefore, inherited a priceless treasure of books and was surrounded by an atmosphere that highly appreciate reading. I like reading about history, religion, fiction, and poetry. Particularly, literature in all of its forms, has sparked my love of reading amd inspired me to study English as undergraduate student and now I am a graduate student, majoring in English literature at UNO.

Throughout my time at school, English has been one of my favorite subjects. I was enrolled in an international, English speaking, school throughout elementary and middle school, and so I was lucky enough to have fantastic teachers who managed to make class fun and inspiring. In middle school we worked extensively with classical English literature, reading books like Lord of the Flies, Of Mice and Men, A Catcher in the Rye and Romeo and Juliet. I still enjoy reading classical literature occasionaly, but unfortunately I no longer have as much time to read as I did when I was younger.

History has been my constant and my comfort for my entire life. My mother always encouraged my love of history, telling me stories about King Henry VIII, the War of the Roses, reading me the little house book, or buying me all the books I wanted on the simple subject all throughout my childhood. It has become my love and my passion and whether or not I become a history professor, I will without a doubt go into the field of history. I might do archaeology and combine both my love of history, and my joy of bones and dead people. I would have to study Anthropology to become that though and whilst I do enjoy that, I worry I will become too invested into that field and become a simple doctor. I know I would be happy to teach the

“The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.” This once said by famous poet, Derek Walcott. I have been in school for quite some time and exposed to various themes of education. Throughout my years as a student , English has taken the place of my favorite subject. Many people believe English shouldn’t be taught in school because it is the first language for most of us. However, I am truly captivated by its development over the course of so many years. There are just so many types of poetry , writing pieces and literature. It would be hard not to give it all a chance.

I think that my greatest contribution to the community would be my love for research. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help people in any way that I could. Although my desired career path has changed significantly over the years from wanting to be a Police Officer to desiring being a part of the bio-medical research field, I have finally found my niche in society; I know that I want to help people through research. I first discovered my love for research when I participated in National History Day, in the eighth grade. Prior to joining this program, I had loved to learn, but I hadn’t found a specific aspect of learning that really interested me. As read every article and website about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, I

Writing is used to remember things, for scripts like movies, to inform, even to plan things. Essays can be written in Persuasive, Expository, Analytical, and Argumentative. To start out Persuasive is an essay where you try to convince the reader or listener to

A lot of people are literate in Reading and Writing, however, I am literate in other things such as Guitar, Fencing, Bowling, Metal-Detecting, Reading, Writing, and tons of other things. But I really have a passion for Reading and Writing. When I start writing, I really get into it and I do not want to stop, but sometimes when I do not get into it, I just write a small amount amount and don't really have a passion for what I am writing. But when it is good I put a lot of feeling into it. The same goes for reading, I love to read a book if it fits into my interest, I usually like books with more action and surprising moments. It can be realistic fiction, it does not matter to me. There are always weaknesses to everyone's strengths.

Everyone has something that stirs their passion. Something that sparks an interest so deep seated that to not pursue it would be unthinkable. Some find their in numbers, some in athletics, others may find love for science or design but I found mine in English Literature. The intricate of the language itself and a writer’s ability to create powerful emotions in an individual have long been enthralled me. I am amazed at how the words of one can influence thousands. I found my love and passion for English Literature at a very young age. Therefore I feel nothing but pure excitement at the prospect of studying English at university level.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a deep love for art. Whether it was painting, drawing, dancing, music, acting, or building and designing, I was completely into it and I wanted to know everything and anything about it. As I began to grow up, I also started looking more deeply into it and doing more historical research to learn about different types of art, techniques used, the way artists think or what their creations mean, and what inspired them. It fascinates me. When I was 4, my dream was to become a painter. I would wake up early in the morning to watch Bob Ross paint and buy art kits, sketchbooks, paint, brushes, coloring utensils, craft supplies, or anything else that I could get my hands on. I was obsessed.

I was always so intrigued with learning new things. My favorite subject has always been English. I like to think it’s the most important subject because Literature is everywhere and plays an important role in everyday life. That is why I chose to interview my English teacher from my freshmen year in High School. He was the first person who came to mind after reading the prompt, and he seemed fitting for the interview seeing as he probably writes often and reads plenty of his students' assignments.

Ever since I was a child I have always had a creative mind. My weekends as a
