Week 7: "Uphill Battle"10/20/2017 This past week has been a challenging one. The essays - in which we are writing about different elements of literature - have proven to be one of the more difficult things I've had to commit to writing about in an English class. On a usual basis, I can deal with any sort of topic and run with it. Yet, when it was time to actually begin writing our essays, I found myself struggling to stay on track and focus for long periods of time. I do not have a history of struggling with topics for essays in English class - often I have found it easy to write about a topic that is given to me, because it takes the guessing part out of the assignment. For some reason, however, I have found it difficult to write about the point of view of my story - I find myself second guessing what I am trying to interpret and write most of the time. My struggle with writing this essay has continued to remind me of the video we watched at the beginning of the trimester. The video was about college students with many different levels of skill and interest in English, and how they were shocked when they realized that their writing skills were often worse than they had expected once they got to college. This thought has made me glad to have chosen to be struggling with this paper whilst in AP Literature, because I am hoping that once I finish my essay that I will have grown as a writer and will be more prepared for college classes. Ultimately, this paper has presented many difficulties so far, but I am hopeful that the end product will be a positive one.
