How has my Dual Role as Writer and Reader Contributed to learning?
Looking at the various works that I have written since the New Year in English 112 and in various other classes, I see that reading and writing definitely played a part in learning this past semester. I believe that writing about what I have read in class gave me an opportunity to see events from a different perspective and gain insight into the human condition. I love analyzing poetry and writing critical essays on novels, like we did for The Devil in the White City and The Human Stain. I think that I've learned a lot from the two novels that we read about the America in the late nineteenth century and how the country reacted to the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
