Favorite Lectures

 

1. Workshop 1 "Is Love Really Blind?”

  -   In this workshop, our group focused on Blanche and Mitch from A Streetcar Named Desire and talked about whether their relationship was real love or just based on lies and loneliness. Some of us argued that Blanche wanted love but was scared to show her true self, while others said Mitch deserved the truth and couldn’t trust her once he found out about her past. We realized their connection wasn’t strong it was built on what they wanted each other to be, not who they really were. This discussion helped me understand how love in the play is complicated and sometimes based more on fantasy than reality.


2. Poetry Lecture on 04/24/2025 

        -    This was a very interesting lecture to me because of all the songs that were referenced that I had no idea had anything to do with poetry. After reading the lyrics of the song and the way they were said It really showed me the connect between songs and poetry that I did not know before. 


3. Describing character traits 

      -    When we split up into groups and each described the characters in the "Streetcar named desire". It helped me really understand how to characterize someone and how their actions play a role in affecting other characters traits as well.

    This semester has taught me a lot, not just about writing, but also about myself. At first, I had trouble finding the right words to use in my essays, but now I feel more confident using stronger words and writing sentences that are more creative and interesting. I’ve also gotten better at speaking during class. I usually do not like speaking in class and learning by just listening, but by being forced to speak, it got me out of my comfort zone and actually helped me learn better by engaging in the activities.           One thing I really enjoyed was working on the pubs. I liked being able to use sources that actually connected to me personally, which made the essays feel more meaningful. One idea that stuck with me is that true love is possible. It might not be perfect, but it’s real and can be great, even when it’s messy. That made me feel hopeful about not just love, but about life in general.     ...

Pub 3 "The Fight to Be Understood"

            Sometimes people feel like no one really understands them or like they’re being pushed into a box. Music and poetry are two ways artists share these feelings. In the songs “Telekinesis” by Travis Scott and “Cry for Me” by The Weeknd, and the poems “We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks and “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou, the writers talk about what it’s like to feel trapped or not truly seen. Whether it’s because of fame, fear, or the way society expects people to act, these artists show how hard it can be to be yourself. Even though each piece sounds a little different, some are strong and rebellious, while others are sad and quiet, they all deal with the same idea about feeling stuck in a world that doesn’t really listen. The artists use repeating words and real emotions to show the their struggles               In Gwendolyn Brooks’s poem “We Real Coo...
