What I Learned In English Class Essay

In this first semester I learned different things in each class and I put them in practice inside and outside the school. Also, I had some college classes this semester and I did my best to have good grades. For example in English class I learned a few things, but they are the most important things that I learned for my life and knowledge. In this class I learned about debates, archetypes, and The Secret Life of Bees.
“Good English, well spoken and well written, will open more doors than a college degree. Bad English will slam doors you didn’t even know existed.” by William Raspberry. It is true that without English we will be lost in our lives and I am really thankful that I learned some good things in English class. For example, during the summer every sophomore had to read “The Secret Life of Bees” because we would be test about the book. With that say so, I had to read and I honestly don’t read books often because I am a picky reader, but this particular book got my attention. And it is not because it is for grade, I read it and I enjoyed it so much that I want to keep reading it. The story well detailed and I learned new words, that became my strong resource of knowledge. Also, I learned that life

is not easy and it can be painful in several ways, but there is always something that can make us happy and continue with our lives.
Additionally, the second thing that I learned in this class was the archetypes in literature.

Before this specific subject, I didn’t know that in the stories or other forms of literature, it has specific forms of characters. In other words, the hero, the villain, the sidekick and other characters were called archetypes. As mention before, I don’t read books often, but the books that I read has archetypes and I didn’t notice them. Also, in the movies based on books or movies in general has archetypes and with my knowledge I can identify them because I know the role of each archetype I learned. This subject is my favorite thing that I learned in this class because I often watch movies, as a result of my learning I can identify and mention each archetype of the

movie.
Lastly, the last thing that I learned in this semester is debate. This unique subject gave me a big impact in my knowledge and in the way I see some things. At this time around there were occurring some debates for the elections of next year, but I wasn’t interested in the debates because I wasn’t sure why the debates were so important and what was the purpose of the debates. But now I know why they existed and why it happens. The debates are very important for many reasons, but the main reason is that we can argue about a subject such as politics, laws, trickery, etc. Arguing about something and see which side of the argument convince the audience.
To summarize, this semester was meaningful for me, but the most important is that my knowledge is growing every time I learn something new in each class, specially in English class. English class is very important for each individual because we learn new words and we can express our ideas or opinions more direct and easy to understand. Also, we learn new words and learning is another way to feed our brain with knowledge.
