This year I am taking American Literature to help me understand the importance of literature and how much it affects our lives. Without literature I'm not sure where we would be in the world. I, personally, enjoy reading and writing because, i feel like it helps you express yourself through words. It also gives an insight on how others think about things and how they portray them in a literary piece, such as novels, short stories, and poems. This class will be exciting for me because it is such a different way of learning, which intrigues me. I am also a bit nervous because I am not used to such big changes but, I am trying to overcome my fears and move past them. I am hoping this course teaches me everything i will need to know.
On another note, Richard Cory is such a beautiful, yet tragic piece of work. It shows that everything is not always what you think it is and you should not be quick to judge. It surprised me because someone, that everyone looked up to, felt so horrible that he had to commit suicide. This surprised me because everyone thought he was so amazing and they wanted to be in his place. Little did they know, Richard Cory was unhappy with his life.
