English 1302 has taught me how to analyze and construct arguments that appeal to peoples emotions, logic, and trust. Rhetoric is one of the most important ideas within the majority of literature and being able to understand why an author or creator does whatever they may do in their work is a gift that can…

The last week the whole class presented the group project of the Macbeth Proposal where each group presents a unique and creative way of recreating Macbeth in an entertainment form. After the groups presented we were then assigned the Macbeth campaigns and that is the ongoing project. I have noticed rhetoric this past week in…

We still read Shakespeare because of the complexity of his work. There is a lot to be learned from the very metaphorical way he writes down characters lines.

I believe that without the current chapter we have read my understanding would continue to be…

English 1301 reinforced and strengthened my ability to write in a way that is less repetitive and more meaningful. The class forced me to make ideas unique and words specific yet concise, otherwise I would not get the…
