The past seven months in Honors English have definitely been different then I expected. I was imagining a class that was going to be hard, strict, and have a lot of homework, however that wasnt what this year has come out to be. In class we get a lot done but it is a loose atmposphere which makes the class a lot more interesting. I have learned a lot this year in English. For example, motif. During the summer assignment when I was reading "Catcher and the Rye" I had absolutely no idea what motif was. Now, I still dont have a firm grasp on the meaning, but I have come to understand all of the vocabulary but I have a sense of what it means. Another thing that I was expecting but not this much of, was reading. This year reading has been like it has been during middle school, except for 8th Grade. I feel like this year it is more of an assignment than something you get to enjoy. However, I'm okay with it because we always have something to talk about in class the next day. This year in English has definitely been a suprise, however I think it has been a good one because I have learned a lot more compared to previous years in English classes.
