Final Reflection

The experience of completing this extended task was very intriguing and unique compared to the other activities we have completed throughout the year. I found it quite enjoyable to incorporate three unique and diverse characters from three unique and diverse pieces of literature into a meaningful composition of literature. The hardest part, in my opinion, was to come up with an original idea. Deciding which characters to select and how to make them interact was challenging and was not a smooth process. Only after several failed scraps was I finally able to synthesize a plot that was logical and had rational elements. It was extremely frustrating to appear to have a good idea, only to have it fail when analyzing its logistics with greater depth.
The project allowed me to clearly express my creativity and truly be able to enjoy writing literature with characters from some extremely popular books. Writing both parts of my narratives was fairly easy to do because the ideas I was discussing within my writing were based on the true personal characteristics of the people within the various works of literature. This made it easy to formulate personalities, dialogues, and actions that various characters may participate in. In addition, writing two different and unique pieces for my narrative was also effortless because of the fact that my plot corresponded very well with the two types of narratives I chose to incorporate. I think that it is an excellent idea to allow students to be able to select their style of narrative and I hope that this will be continued for future English 9 classes. Overall, after a rough start, this final project was not only relatively simple to complete but also a very fun and exciting way to end off the school year while writing some amazing pieces of
As a reader, I have been introduced to new, complex genres of literature including playwrights written in old English from the 1500s to complicated allegories about various themes about life. Because of these experiences, I am better adapted to comprehend more complex texts and analyze them to their intended goal. Essentially, reading these onerous texts has allowed me to expand my vocabulary and allowed me to develop an understanding for sophisticated language techniques. In addition, I have improved as a writer because I am now able to develop my thoughts more into a more cohesive and complete piece of work. My writing has become more clear and more to the point throughout English 9, as we have learned several grammar rules and ways to use different literary techniques to maximize comprehension and to make my writing have more depth and sophistication. Overall, English 9 was one of the most influential classes yet because of the plethora of knowledge that it brought to me and how this knowledge can apply to so many aspects of my educational career. The class was very compelling and provided an impetus to improve my reading and writing skills for future years of my life. In future English classes, I insist that I will continue to improve on the comprehension and vocabulary skills that English 9 has taught me. I hope to further expand my analysis of
