Freshman Farewell

I know have all of your papers and am looking forward to reading them. Looking at just a few I feel we'll need to write analytic essays as well next year. Still, the writing appears to have improved. Remember, the text reveals things to us. We can't write an analytic essay without explore details of the text.

I hope you feel that you have had a door opened to you. I can only say that the QUESTions offered here continue to haunt humanity in its literature. We will see many of these themes next year in novels of various genres and time periods. We've already contributed as readers in our blogs now available for anyone to read who wants an authority on some classic texts. In the future, I hope you see how you can answer these QUESTions in any field that interests you: dance, science, theater, and for some maybe, novels.

To improve for next year, please answer in (FULL SENTENCES) my survey in the response section of my blog:
