Blog # 16: Final Reflexion




When I started taking this class I thought that it going to be challenging because the professor has an appearance of being tough. Also, during this semester I had lot of troubles doing my assignments on time because I was going through some personal problems, but my eager to continue with this class help me to finish it with a personal satisfaction. Furthermore, this class helps me to improve my knowledge using many different web pages at the same time, and I learned to use a Blog in the internet. Everything learned in English 102 has been exciting because it has as a main topic " Supernatural " which allowed me to choose my own topic related to it. Moreover, I remember doing my first blog "about me “ it was a kind of easy , but later on the next blogs became a little harder because they needed more time and dedication . I believe that doing the analysis of poems was challenging for me because it was not easy as it sounds. The poems’ stanzas with its lines had a deep meaning on its lecture. There was not easy to find the real meaning of a poem because it could be interpreted in different ways by the reader. Also, analyzing poems help me to understand better its message because nowadays when I read a poem I try to get into the real message of the author. Thus, I enjoy reading poems.
I believe that analyzing a movie was difficult too. A movie can have a deep meaning like poems. For me movies were kind of fun, sad, horrible, and so on. But, the real meaning of those where focus on its contents. For example, the symbols and archetypes used on a movie play an important role on it. Also, places and the environment where the movie was set had an important symbolic significance on it. In fact, nowadays I have fun watching movies because I feel more comfortable understanding its message behind the fiction, adventure, and so on.
Finally, the analysis of books helps me to understand better the message of it. Confucio a great Philosopher said that “reading without meditating is a helpless occupation.” I believe that he is completely right because a reader has to be emerged on a reading, and he/she will be able to critic or to give an opinion of the book’s content. I feel happy to be able to understand more the significance of reading a book because this class helps me to be aware of symbols archetypes, protagonist, antagonist, and plot.
Finally, I would like to say that this class was outstanding because it allowed to use internet resources on its assignments. In fact, I enjoyed this class until the last day. If I have a friend who wants to take this class i will stongly recommended because it is not boring and though.
