Dear Marlen,

This entire semester as been fun and a little challenging at times. I really enjoyed this class-meaning I can leave here knowing I learned some really valuable things that I can use in other classes and in the future. When I first came to this class I was thinking about dropping it because of the amount of work. The best decision I have made thus far this semester. I thought it was going be way harder but in the long run it was kind of like a breeze to me. Reading different books for all different artist and view points was really interesting. Even after reading the seeing the “Color Purple” movie a lot of times I still found the book to be really interesting. The difference of the two was quite remarkable. I loved a lot of the books we read and there was a couple that I disliked which will happen most likely in an english class.

I liked the first half of the semester better than the last because the class had begun to get boring to me. I like when we watched movies and stuff like that but I didn’t like when we worked in groups. I didn’t have a problem with working with people it was the fact that nobody seemed interested in the topics and it became boring. The movie that I liked the most was the “Into The Woods” play. That was a fun movie to watch and it held a lot of significance when it came to archetypes,characteristic and morals.

I have learned a lot in the class. Now I can look at movies and notice when a person is during the flight and their call. I can now look at different archetypes in characters and how they all react with each other. I can read myths and poems and find a real meaning between them. I know about the belly of whale and that life is a journey and it can lead you can where. It’s much more that I have learned in this class that I will always remember. I enjoyed having you as a professor and wish I could have tooken your class for research writing but i didn’t fit in my schedule.

I liked learning about feminism and it showed me that it isn’t just about women power. Learning about women and how they have been depicted and criticized because of their gender for years has shown me that the world has a lot of changing still to accomplish. I learned about queer theory for the first time this semester and know I have a good understanding of what it is. I liked when we talked as a group in class and everybody shared their view points on noy only queer theory but other hot topics this semester.

In conclusion, this semester has come to an end and I have mixed emotions. I wish I could do it all over but them again im ready to move on and explore different classes in college. I’m ready to learn more about myself and see will my journey will lead me. Isn’t that what this class was about? my journey from this class has ended but my future id just beginning. Thanks for the opportunity of taking this class and teaching the way you did. you made the class worth the tired 8 o’clock morning’s.
