My good comprehension skills would make me a good candidate for Honors English.

Given these points, I believe that literacy narratives have more of a positive influence on students rather than a negative one. Literacy narratives tend to be really useful for the fact that the writer can voice their academic experiences freely without being burdened with stress about not having a right answer. Also, these specific narratives allow the readers to connect with the writers through the piece. The readers are able to see how the writer develops who they are based on what actions were being taken to overcome the academic challenge. At the same time, the reader can see what skills or appreciation the writer has gained from their academic struggle.…

As Vargas Llosa stated in his essay, in the world we live today, most people dedicate little to no time to literature. However, I am one of the exceptions, as I have, for the longest time, been an avid reader and a persistent writer. As for researcher, well, my story for that one is very different. For starters, I believe that to understand my passion for literature, I have to explain my background a bit.…
AP English Language has been a course that I thought it was going to be harder on me. English has been a hard language to learn; grammar, vocabulary and rules. When I decided to sign up for this class I wanted to challenge myself and improve my second-language. In this course we had have many opportunities to improve not only our grade, but the skills we need for the AP test and college itself. I felt that I could have done a lot more this year to improve the skills that are needed for this class.…
“Wow, these kids are more good than I’ll ever be.” “Why did I take AP Language in the first place?” “I’m going to fail this class soon.” My thought plagues with negative comments and lack of motivation when I start AP Language and Composition back in September.…
