My Year


As a student, I have to say I've grown into a stronger writer for sure. I love to write, writing is one thing that calms me and allows me to put my thoughts on paper. I'd have to say it's made me a harder worker because this class wasn't easy. I was never good at reading paragraphs and analyzing them and making them into ideas on paper, but this helped me learn that. It'll help me in the future by allowing me to write more thourough and clear essays for college! You've taught me many things when it came to life and skills in writing and reading. I can say I really enjoyed your class Mr. Thomas! Thank you :)

1. For me, I'd have to say the most difficult essay to write was the rhetorical essay because I was never good with detecting rhetorical devices inside of those speeches or letters. I was always so bored with them and it threw me off to be honest.

2. I believe the synthesis and argumentative essays were the easiest for me equally. The synthesis I had sources I could use to back up my thoughts regardless of how they positioned themselves it always helped. For the argumentative I think it was also my easiest because I loved to argue what I thought was right. I had all the information I needed in my head and didn't have to go back and forth.

3. I really enjoyed reading "The Things They Carried" because it really opened my eyes to the things we individually hold to ourselves and how much they can mean to myself or to someone. It showed the true meaning of believing or trusting in something tangible or not.

4. The book I had a hard time was reading was "In Cold Blood" simply because I didn't finish the whole book! Haha, it was really dull and I procrastinated with the book so it made it harder to follow the class and the essays and tests along with it.

5. All I have to finish off with saying is I really really enjoyed being in your class because you opened up my mind to many different ways of thinking and I love learning new things. I love knowledge and it makes me feel great to obtain something so special to me.


Thank you Mr. Thomas once again for letting me have a wonderful year in an English class I ACTUALLY liked!
