Essay About Ap Literature

624 Words3 Pages

What am I doing here? A student themselves chooses whether or not their education will be an extra challenge in life. It depends on how ambitious one is to be a successful person in the future, or how lazy a person is and not having any motivation or inspiration to do better. Not everything in life will come in easy, so there is nothing that I can have too much of that cannot be an advantage later on. That being said, there are reasons to why each of us was driven to take AP Literature, having in mind of what we want to gain from it, and eventually you will realize what can be expected from each and every single one of us. It is now my Junior year in High School and I know what I want and what I don’t want. Better yet, i know what I can and can’t handle. I make my own decisions, and one of them was choosing AP Literature. AP classes are said to be very hard, of course very challenging, and that they suck the living life out of you. However, regardless of that, I still choose it, because I believe that the more of writing skills you have, the better. I can’t have enough of English skills, because there is always something I can improve on. With all the different literary techniques, I can write better essays. …show more content…

In the end, your writing is what you make it. It is how much effort is put into it that makes it either outstanding or possible average. Therefore, in this class I hope to gain more knowledge and use of different literary devices, and see examples of them being used in books. As well as increase my vocabulary by reading different types of writing, and based on this, my writing skills will improve. Besides that, I want to be able to analyze important text critically and thoroughly. Sometimes we are asked to explain the relation between a piece of evidence to something else, and I can’t always do that since I can’t find the connection. Perhaps I may even learn more from this course not

  • Essay: Why Students Should Take AP Exams

    727 Words  | 3 Pages

    AP courses are supposed to be hard. Their curriculums were designed by the Collegeboard to challenge motivated students and build up essential academic skills. However, aspects like the cost of taking AP exams, Arlington’s policy requiring students to take the AP exam with the course, and the north’s late school year start often create unintentional difficulties, adding stress to already difficult classes. To start, the exam themselves are expensive. At $94 per exam, even students who are able to afford the fee might think twice about dropping hundreds of dollars on AP exams.

  • Reflection Paper On Ap Literature

    277 Words  | 2 Pages

    Kellie- It is my understanding that 58 students are registered for AP Literature next year and will be placed in only two sections. This is highly concerning as it is not what is best for our brightest students, especially those who have so much at stake (scores, scholarships, etc.). Placing this many students per class will not only make it virtually impossible to conduct writing conferences, an integral part of the course, but will also drastically reduce the amount of individualized attention and could possibly ultimately lower scores on the AP Exam for individual students and our campus alike. Understanding it is necessary to maximize class size, a class of almost 30 students who are reading and writing on a daily basis is not conducive

  • AP Literature And Composition: Let It Be Forgotten By Sara Teasdale

    1227 Words  | 5 Pages

    Avery Rembish Mr. Smigel AP Literature and Composition 14 March 2023 As the title suggests, “Let It Be Forgotten”, a poem by Sara Teasdale, is a reflection on the speaker’s desire for something to be completely forgotten. Teasdale employs several techniques within the poem to communicate her message, with a heavy emphasis on the use of simile, symbolism, and connotation. Alongside this, she uses meter and personification to draw the reader in, create an emotional connection, and create an atmosphere where the reader can relate, or get lost in Teasdale’s own account. When looking deeper into the ideas that the speaker conveys, why they want to forget, the reader is given room to build their own interpretation that connects their experiences

  • Ap Lang Reflection

    526 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a former AP Lang student, I feel that this class has been very beneficial for me in that it has allowed me to apply the techniques and strategies I learned last year toward more relevant subjects. Having the freedom of choosing topics to write about for our various essays made this class more enjoyable than the other English classes that I have taken. AP Lang focused heavily on the techniques of writing solid essays, but instead of writing about useful topics, we analyzed the short stories provided on the exams. Writing a personal narrative essay was very helpful in my college application process and allowed me to employ the same kind of strategies that I learned in class into my college essays.

  • Writing Class Reflection Essay

    I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.

    Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.

    Writing is a language. If we take simple words and bluntly put the phrases into paragraphs, it defies the meaning of this broad dialect. I, Abigail Platon, will not only understand this odd, foreign language but make it my own while painting a picture with the power of correct grammar and lines of beautiful word choice. The only way I can find a gateway to this dream is through, one, hard work on my own and, two, in Temple City’s English Honors class. Through this program, I can achieve the goals I desire to complete, either in the academic year or the “foreseeable” future.
