Honors History #4

While taking honors humanities, I really improved my writing skills. I built up on my comprehension of some of the literature that we read and when reading that it really helped with my reading skills. I didnt really understand some of the books that we were reading all that much, but after discussing it with others who were in honors, I understood that there was more than just text to all of these books, but that there was a deeper meaning in every one of the stories. It was difficult to pull that out in each of the books, but after a while it got easier to do. Some of the prompts that we were given were difficult to understand as well and sort of triggered a different way to write and that took a while to get the hang of that. If I were to re-do this honors I probably would have taken more of the writing tips to make sure that my writing was as perfect as it could have been. With some of my essays that I wrote I didnt take all of the tips that we were given and if i had done that i could have made my writing the most that it could have been. Next semester i will do a better job of this. We were given many tips to improve our writing and next semester I will take more time to actually use the tips to improve what I have. If we could add something into our literature section I would probably have to say an essay having to do with Shakespeare or possibly spending some time translating the sonnets. I dont know if we would actually be able to spend some time on that though because we spent time with Shakespeare's writing during our freshman and sophomore year. Maybe we could spend some time reading the classics. I really enjoy some of the classic books and maybe we could do another nature reading also!
