oh yeah, I have to talk about AP Lit!

To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure what I want from AP Lit at the moment. Last year I thought it would be a good idea to take it since I had done pretty well in English classes throughout high school and I do enjoy writing, but technically that doesn't mean that AP Lit itself is any better of a class for me than Creative and Critical or World Lit. I suppose the main reason I took it was because Mrs. Reilly said I should, and I definitely respect her opinion, so here I am! Currently I have yet to see how AP Lit is going to affect me, help me improve as a writer or a reader, etc, but I'm sure it will. We'll just have to wait and see!

Also, I don't expect reading in particular to help give the class meaning - I'm not much of a reader, though I am definitely glad that AP Lit requires me to read since there are plenty of good books I've neglected in the past. If anything I expect reading to give me the same kind of feeling that watching a good movie would - while AP Lit is certainly more based in written literature, much, if not most, of what we learn is also going to be completely applicable to movies, which is probably what will give me the most enjoyment. Either way the class has been fun so far and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.
