A. To me, writing was always a way to bring my fantasies to life. When you look for books, you're often searching for something different, a way to escape the mundane. Although you may find a book that you deem perfect, it will always be another person's ideal. However, when you are writing, you get to choose everything from the main character to the smallest details of your story. You can create a beautiful world full of magic and wonder or delve into the deepest pits of your soul. The choice is yours and no one else's.
B. As a kid, my dad read to me every night. I had gone through every book in the Children and Young Adult's Fiction Sections by the time I was in middle school. My favorite books by far are the Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin. I've kept up with Game of Thrones for the past few years, and have spent the last week avidly reading the last installment of the series, A Dance with Dragons. I'm also interested in historical fiction, political, current events, and fantasy.
C. If technology was a family member, it would be an estranged uncle or a third cousin. Although I was once an avid gamer, I try to avoid computers when I can and prefer to do most of my work and studying offline.
D. I like to read over the material and then have discussions or group analyses. I'm really looking forward to being introduced to so many new books, and I believe that is where I'll gain the greatest knowledge. However, I also like quizzes and tests as I feel that they really make you analyze the most important details in whatever you're studying.
E. I plan to major in English, and I'm hoping that this course will give me a greater knowledge and understanding of the subject.
