Mid Semester Check

Dear Mrs. Cline
The biggest challenge that I have had in this class would defiantly be the papers. I have always had a hard time writing papers and generating good ideas for them. Throughout this class I feel like I have become better in some ways at writing, but I know that I still need to continue improving my creative thinking. Also this is my first online class, and staying motivated to get everything done is a little more difficult then being in a classroom environment.
My biggest success would have to be reading. I used to dread the thought of picking up a book, and now I really enjoy and look forward to reading. This class has really sparked my interest in literature. The books that we have read so far have really caught my interest and are very emotional to me. They effected me in a positive way, I realized that if I find a book that I can get into It will come to life and it wont just be just words.
I have not done any literature analysis previous to this class; it is really different from anything else that I have done. Literature analysis has been challenging for me.
My goals for the second half of this semester are to stay focused on what I need to get done and do it on time. I also hope to learn everything I can to improve in my ready and writing skills.
Sincerely,
Desiree DeBono
