Week 6 of class dedicated to finishing up our work for the marking period. Throughout the week, I spent quite a bit of time reading, trying to finish my independent reading book, Catch-22, so that I could write a good essay over it. I also spent much of the week working with my small group to create our presentation over humor and fantasy. We worked very efficiently, and in no time at all, we have already finished most of our presentation. While working on that, I began to realize how lucky it was that I decided to read Catch-22. After all, Catch-22 is basically just 460 pages of humor used to look at World War 2. Reading a novel focused mainly on humor really helped me in being able to analyze humor and analyze other stories to look for humor. http://learning.hccs.edu/faculty/david.james/engl2328/humorous-purposes-sources-and-methods/humorous-purposes-sources-and-methods
Aside from working and reading, we also focused on finishing our creative writing works. This turned out to be quite a bit of fun, as it allowed me to express my own ideas and opinions without worrying about some prompt. It was fairly easy for me to identify which of my creative pieces I wanted to choose. I just picked the two pieces that focused on what I am most passionate about; family and politics. To conclude, the last week of the marking period was pretty good. I worked hard, and I am happy to see that my efforts did not go without reward.
