My Relationship With Literature

I have had some experience writing about literature while in High School. In 10^th grade, I remember having to write a critique of the book “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry. I do not remember much of the story now, but I do remember completing the assignment. I was assigned to work with a partner, and we were to give an overall review and critique of the book including any changes that we would have made. I remember how interesting this assignment was for me. Being paired with another person gave me an opportunity to view the same story from a completely different point of view than my own. I think I enjoyed reading what my partner had to say more than writing my own critique. This is the only written assignment about a piece literature that I have completed, and I would say that it was not very difficult. I approached the assignment by first writing how I felt as I read through the story. I would then try to find the overall theme of the reading. Finally, I will look for sources that support and disclaim my point of view.

English has never been one of my favorite subjects, but I have never been a horrible writer either. I enjoy freestyle writing best. When I was in High School I enjoyed writing poems and raps. Today, I do not do as much writing unless it is for class because of limited free time. I am excited about completing the literary analysis on the short story “A Sound of Thunder.”
