4th period English

English is and always has been my favorite subject, I don't know why but it is. Aside from all the essay writing i could study English in collage. But I probably wont! I mean its cool and all but I don't think I could stand writing SO many essays, mean I get it we gotta know how to type one but we don't need to do them for EVERY class. But anyways, English hum what to say besides that puritan preachers scare the crap outta you. I mean we had to read (well our teacher read to us) this speech by a preacher that was basically scaring his followers into being more in touch with their faith, and not to sin. Or they would go to hell, I mean saying 'your going to hell' is one thing but making vivid pictures and saying God of all people is an angry man who will throw you into the fires himself. Wow that's crazy, but hey that's Puritan Preachers for you, and English 11 Lit. for you. I don't pick the stories the district dose so i really cant complain. Or maybe I can, hum I don't really think I wanna. Also whats up with puritan writes, they keep their writing VERY Extremely plain but its straight to the point, but I still love "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Outsiders" wasn't a bad book either, but me being me I love my girly fairly tale prince and princess ending stories with the occasional hunky vampire thrown in the mix (thank you Stephanie Mayer!!!) But aside from my preference of books English is very fascinating and I might consider studying it lol and maybe just maybe I'll get abducted by aliens (ooh that would be a great story) but lol no offence to English teachers I respect you very much because its my favorite subject ( and 'cuz my favorite teacher of all time Mrs.Kemic was an English teacher too.) But any who that's what I have been doing in English, sounds very boring and it kind of is but hey its cool. :O

  1. I can clarify the English 11 thing for you:

    English 11 is American Literature exclusively. The problem with that is that there was very little American literature or creative writing until later in the country's formation. That's why the English textbook has so many historical documents and even sermons at the beginning. While the country was forming, there simply weren't people writing poetry, etc. They were writing practical documents. Once the country became more settled, more creative writing developed. Stuff like Hawthorne, etc...
