Good morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever time of day it is in which you are reading this blog post. My name is Daniel, as you should know by now.
In Honors English class, we spent most of the first quarter raising and nurturing our research papers until they were a fully formed butterfly of persuasive prose. Unfortunately, I found most of this unit to be somewhat anticlimactic and monotonous. However, I have high hopes for the second quarter, as we will be covering topics such as short storys, Shakespeare, and various grammar topics, all of which have much more appeal to me.
In the near future, we will be covering the works of Edgar Allan Poe, who is without a doubt one of my favorite poets/short story authors of all time. Some of my favorite of his works are "The Black Cat," "The Telltale Heart," and "Hop Frog" to name a few.
In conclusion, as the leaves fall and the holidays approach, I hope that the second quarter of Language Arts is an extremely enjoyable experience, and I can't wait to see what is in store.
