Looking Back

Now that the end of the semester is approaching I have notice tremendously my writing skills and techniques have grown much stronger.  My writing skills coming into this class was more of a structured process with repetitive types of wording.  As I have gone through this class I have seen myself become more relaxed and being able to just go with the essay.  Writing down anything and everything that would come to mind before I would forget what point I was trying to make.  I truly believe that in writing and posting these blogs has helped me come to the point quicker than going around the subject in a confusing mess of nothingness.  I am thrilled to look back and think how much I have improved over the semester. 

The Count of Monte Cristo

I was recommended to read The Count of Monte Cristo by one of my high school AP English teachers.  I had no idea what to read and it was a requirement for the class to read so many pages a semester.  She recommended The Counto of Monte Cristo novel to me not only saying that it would keep my attention but that it would be a fun novel to read, and it was.  It kept my attention throughout the whole novel and I enjoyed reading it.  It was adventurous, mysterious, gripping, and cunning.  The novel had twists and turns throughout the book.  With the main character being undercover he could come up with ingenious plans on the go and how people fed into his plans was amazing. 

It's a story about the right and wrong, and the deed of revenge which in the end shows that it is never the way to go.  I would recommend it to anyone who loves adventurous novels.  Hopefully it will be as inspiring to you as it was to me.
