I am a very outdoors kind of person. I like to walk outside at night and I like to star gaze. I like to draw in my free time. I am very into Art. My favorite Artist is Renoir. I sometimes think how awesome it would be to be a curator in a museum and I am seriously thinking about changing my major. However I don't think I would ever really change my major because it's something I have wanted to do for a long time. I am a Middle School Education Major with a concentration in Science and Social Studies. I honestly joined this class because it was a requirement for my major but I hope to get the best experience possible from it. The most recent book I have read is a "book" not really a novel. It's called "God's Little Devotional Book for Teens" It's the first book I have actually had any interest in, in a while. I only really listen to music occasionally, mostly I listen to it in the car and that's about it. I definitely like Country music, I know that! However I listen to most every kind of music; I like to "switch it up". My favorite movies are Where the Heart Is, Forest Gump, and The Notebook. My favorite TV shows for the time being are Secret Life of the American Teenager and Switched at Birth. I don't really read a lot for fun probably because I am so busy reading textbooks for classes, that when I do have free time I'm so tired of reading. When I have had to read novels however for past English classes I was always hesitant about them, but after diving into them I really liked a lot of the books we read. However sometimes I tend to struggle in understanding the "underhanded" meanings, which is something that will hopefully get easier for me in time. Literature to me is a way for writers to express their opinions and beliefs. It's a way to express themselves.They do it through writing just like an artist does through a painting. Most things that writers write seem to pertain or have to do with things that happened within their lives. Some of the greatest books came from some pretty crazy people. Take Edgar Allen Poe for example he wrote some really amazing poems but cut off his own ear because of a lover. A lot of the novels such as the "Grapes of Wrath" would not have been around if it was not for the horrible times of the dust bowl. I really believe that Literature came about as a way for people to express their opinions in a way they can edit and document their feelings in a straightforward manner.
