American Literature II Class Analysis

The American nation was founded by a myriad of immigrants. Oppressed peasants, religious dissidents and the generally disenfranchised are just a few of those who left an indelible cultural and a political mark on our nation. This is apparent in the literary culture which defines our nation. Starting in the Colonial era leading up to the childhood of the Republic, American literature was primarily composed of religious sermons, folksy poems and old European folk tales given American qualities. However, during the Revolution patriotic essays and pamphlets became popular and after the onset of the 19th century, Transcendentalism developed from the European romanticists. At the beginning of the 19th century, the American literary style was, for

In conclusion, we have learned a lot about diversities and different cultures in this English 1050 class, including all the different students that we learned about through the weekly discussions. I love to read the weekly post because everyone has different opinions that I can learn. I came from Asia and living in America, and I think in my life experience, I experienced a lot about the diversity and ethnicity issue. To change that and use Ethnicity to bring people together is the big issue nowadays. Might to find some common ground and realize we are all the same. At the very core of our being, we are people, and it is up to us to find ways we can unite and become stronger as a complete whole. Finally, thanks for everyone who fought with

During my first quarter in Honors English 10, I have had my deal of frustration and struggles with the class, along with some success and prosperity. I have found many of my strengths, and plenty of my weaknesses; that I would enjoy building upon for the rest of the school year to come. Although the profuse advice provided by many of my teachers and peers is absolutely valuable (and appreciated), I fancy finding my own way to complete tasks; though it may be an insufficient way.

When you become one of those people who always receive A’s without having to try, you tend to underestimate how easy a class might be. In high school, I never got a grade lower than an A on a paper and never thought that it could be possible. I never really put in much effort on my papers either, but mainly because I did not have to and writing always came easily to me even though my grammar was not the best. In no way am I trying to be boastful, there is a warning for others who come into an English 111 class who are just like me. After taking English 110 this past spring and breezing through it, I thought that English 111 would be the same. During the first week of classes I realized that I was most definitely wrong. Realizing that I was

American literature is a piece literary of work during and after the formation of the United States that is not only written by American authors, but is influenced and reflects on the nation’s past and truths (good or bad), values, ideology, or traditions. A prime example of American literature is Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. He exposes and reflects on the truth about slavery and racism during the 1870s, proves how Huck 's view has been formed society, includes American characteristics, and how slavery and racism is a part of America’s past and present.

During the course of Mrs Wagner's Accelerated English 10 class I learned a tremendous amount. I learned all about things such as TIQA, ANT, verb tense. I also learned a gamut of vocabulary words. So over the course of the first semester I blossomed as a writer and Mrs Wagner showed me the hidden talents within my brain.

When first learning about 1011 option I had bittersweet feelings about it, I love English but I’m pretty lazy. Pretty much being forced into the class I went in skeptical on the course and instructor, asking myself “ do I need this extra work load”? Unless learning is love for someone, I’m sure anyone with the same option to take this course would think similarly. I’m here to tell you that the 1011 course is a worthwhile option for students. The class community, additional supports in 1010, and one on one with instructors make this class an awesome option for any student.

English is an international language and it is almost compulsory in many countries. In my eight week of English 151B class, I have learned that how important it is for a college student to write effectively while arranging proper thoughts in a paragraph. It is very important to focus yourself while writing about a topic. I have learned about the importance of writing in a good organized way with proper punctuation.

This letter is meant to be a way for you to get to know me on a deeper level. You are probably using this letter not only to get to know the lives of the students you are teaching, but also to learn about the writing behaviors of your students. So for this purpose I will try to keep my letter short and interesting in order to not mess up. Before we begin I have a quick disclaimer, I am very sarcastic in everyday life so that does show in my informal writing. I am usually professional for most major papers, but for this paper you will probably see my sarcasm. Now that we have gotten that out of the way let’s start this letter.

Writing, in terms of school work (especially considering essays, prompts, and anything that somehow constricts freedom of thoughts or ideas in any way), does not come natural to me. Writing is hard, no matter what kind of writing it is, but writing papers is especially hard. Some people would choose, outside of forced schoolwork, to write essays and papers and prompts. I do not choose to do such, as many of them may not make much sense. For me, writing short stories or poems or longer short stories (novellas?) comes natural to me. They are free, not necessarily bound by constrictions from a school assignment. But, as prompted, this reflection comes into play with the writing skills used in an English class. I am hoping through this class to make my essay writing (and

One of my most memorable learning experiences occurred this year in my American Studies class. As a part of the class my teacher, Mr. Blahnik, had agree and disagree topics about current issues in today's society. During this process, differences of ethics and morals clashed, but at the same time it was beneficial to envision what another is picturing an issue. In addition, it taught how the same facts that two people build their interpretation of replies completely on the interpretation of each individual. This knowledge on how everything was based on interpretation allowed me to be rewarded with more confidence in my response. As a student who moved to Sturgeon Bay High School just a school year ago, it was nerve racking to be strong in my believes not knowing the basics of what my peers would think. Moreover, this experience making me confident in my ability of what I can achieve.

When I first entered this class I was not expecting this class to be fun at all. Just graduating from high school and being told that college would be a lot harder than high school, I was expecting the full college experience, in which this class would be boring and full of college work. This class managed to help me see that reading/English class does not always have to be boring and full of essays written about boring books that no one actually read. I have always loved reading and this class just helped me learn how to help others love it too. From the survey I took at the beginning of this year I have not really changed at all, but the way I view things and how I will execute things has changed.

The second week of our English Composition class, we talked about American Identity and what influence immigration has on it. Since I am an international student from Germany studying at an American university, Joel L. Swerdlow’s report about a day at the J.E.B. Stuart High School in West Virginia, which is, according to him, mirroring the immigration revolution, made me rethink my actual life situation.

As a Johnston Early College Academy student, I have taken college level classes since my freshman year of high school. These classes have been both seated and online, requiring me to develop good time management and organizational skills. My classes have also involved numerous group projects, which have helped prepare me for collaboration with people of all ages and different backgrounds. Being in classes with people of different age levels and diverse ethnicities has helped me develop the people skills necessary to be successful inside and outside the classroom. These skills will help ensure a positive learning outcome as I transition to a four-year college.

American Literature from its beginnings is shaped by a demand towards reforming society by bringing awareness towards towards social issues and a need to question societal norms.American literature from its beginnings has focused around establishing the American identity , and has also served as a means to address social issues that have plagues American society. The three authors that are representative of these ideals are the following; Hector De St John Crevecoeur Benjamin Franklin, and Hannah Foster. These authors represent different perspectives on American issues, ranging from revolutionary era america, women’s rights, and also establishing a set of values that represent the American Identity. At a time where the new world
