This semester in Great American Novels, my expectations weren’t super high, as it was senior year second semester. I didn’t plan on learning much and I was focused on summer. However, once the coronavirus ended our in-class school year, I kinda realized how much senior year second semester mattered to me. I wasn’t ready for summer just yet and I wanted to be back in school. I’d never thought I would say those words, but truth be told, that is how I felt.
Now, while we only read a couple of books in class, I will miss the time we had in class discussing the books or watching Ms. Joseph present. This wasn’t anything but ideal on how our school year ended, so that just shows that you have to make the most of what you get even if it is senior year second semester because you don’t know when that might end.
Each novel that we read was somewhat good, and there wasn’t one terrible novel that stood out from the rest. I learned a lot about some history from these GAN books, and I also gained knowledge on how different authors write and their styles of writing. I wish this semester could’ve ended better, and I’m glad that I took the class Great American Novels.
