Writing has always been something I enjoyed. In high school, I wrote for our school newspaper. Junior year I was able to be the news editor along with being a reporter, and then senior year I was the feature editor and was given my own column. Having my own column was something I really enjoyed. I was able to choose the topics I wrote about and therefore was able to write about topics I was passionate about. Being able to write for something that the entire student body reads was very exciting, and one of my favorite activities in high school.
One of my favorite books that I read in high school was The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I loved this story and was captivated by the mysterious ways of Gatsby. I particularly enjoyed the time period in which this book takes place. The 1920’s were a time of optimism and entertainment that made this story even more fascinating. Another work of literature I read in high school that I particularly enjoyed was a play called, A Streetcar Named Desire written by Tennessee Williams.
After reading this play we watched the movie, and then were asked to compare and contrast the two. This was an interesting assignment that I really enjoyed. A book that I did not enjoy reading in high school was Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. I had trouble relating to the story, and have never particularly been a fan of the science fiction genre.
I am an English major from Charlotte, North Carolina. I am taking English 215 as a requirement for my major and in order to improve my ability to analyze literature.
Clemson Poem
Game day is here, orange is everywhere
Paws on the streets and on people’s cheeks
Tailgating before, hear the tiger’s roar
It’s a great day to be at Clemson
