I have had the same English teacher the last three semesters, Ms. Hastig. Her class focused mainly on novels and what their underlying themes were. The writing assignments we had were only occasional, but they were absolutley awful. We had to write timed essays in class, with the prompts focusing on some obscure part of the books we read, almost like a unit test in another class. I hated them, because I always felt really anxious during the writes, and sometimes couldn’t think of anything for the prompt off the top of my head. I am seriously relieved I don’t have to try and turn out perfect outlined essays without time to really work and develop the piece. I also am looking forward to writing about what I think, and not being limited to discussing another writer’s opinion.
