Best-Worse

My favorite poem was probably "The Fish" simple because the way that the author used descriptive words to describe something that would have otherwise been dull. The poem I least liked was "Sex Without Love". Besides being extremely awkward, I didn't want to read about people having sex.
My favorite short story that I read was "The Things they Carried" because I had read it when I was in high school and book that talk about or are set in WW2 or Vietnam are usually pretty good. The story I didn't enjoy was probably none of them. The only thing that I thought was hard was the amount of them. Thought they are called short stories some are extremely long for the time we had to read them
I did like watching Bartleby and the Death of a Salesman simply because they made the reading much easier to understand and draw writings into something more physical, easier for people to understand.
My favorite task in class was probably the comic strip we did, the drawing was fun and brought the story to a new view point. My least favorite task was the large groups we had for the poetry. Most if not all of the poems were hard to understand and having just one person answer all the questions was hard and pushed not only myself but others from answering your questions.
And no, I do not miss the small group presentations. There was enough work and I felt that would have just complicated things. And no, small group discussions were where I felt most comfortable for sharing ideas and thoughts.
The blogs were ok but I feel that most if not all of them weren't so much about the reading and terminology to help us through the tests as they were about our simple creativity. But even if they were changed they added an unneeded element that I felt could just have easily been left out and covered in class.
