Introduction
"Literature is the human activity that takes the fullest and most precise account of variousness, possibility, complexity, and difficulty" -Lionel Trilling
What I have gained from AP LIt:
1) Every single book we read had something to offer
2)Shakespeare is not as bad as people make it out to be
3)I have grown as a reader and writer both analytically and creatively
#1 Every book had something to offer
Sometimes humans are the real monsters.
|
Showed the powerful juxtaposition between the kindness and cruelty of human beings.
|
Corruption can happen behind closed doors.
|
#2 Shakespeare is not as bad as people think
|
The Shakespeare unit wasn't that bad
|
#3 I have grown as a reader and writer
The Future
- I leave for boot camp on July 28th this year and will attend training in the AECF Program (Advanced Electronics and Computer Field)
- I plan on becoming an officer later on in my career and retiring at the age of 39
- AP Lit has not only prepared me for school and training, but it has gotten me ready for the real world in general.
- Many of my classes will have a heavy work load so I am thankful I took AP Lit for one of those reasons.
Conclusion
Was taking AP Literature worthwhile or important in my High School Career?
