My Experience with ENG 3U1

This semester in English was a good time. For me in the past English has not been a grand ole time, it was a class that I always hated going to, but this semester it was a blast. From rappin' out some beats along to the Rez Sisters to winning Kinder egg surprises and DQ gift cards, it was hella tight. I could say I am going to miss this class but i'm probably not going to as I am not going to miss the work. I'll miss the class itself but not the work. Twas' a jolly time, good luck to all next year and I hope all have a wonderful life ahead.
In the meantime i'm out,

ISU Novel

I am just about done my ISU novel and I have found it very interesting and it has made me grateful for what I have. Neil Peart, the drummer in the famous Canadian rock band Rush, was living the high life. He was happily married and had a child. His band had just recorded their 16th studio album and finished up their 'Test for Echo' tour. They had just gotten back into the studio to record another album but one night while Neil's daughter was leaving for school things changed. She had been in a car accident and was pronounced dead on impact. Months later Neil's wife, Jackie, had been diagnosed with cancer. Soon after these news, she had passed away. Neil was lost and empty. He had nothing to do, nowhere to go and nothing to look forward to. He decided just to take off, to drive his motorcycle, where? he didn't know. Not knowing if he would be returning home he started to travel west across Canada starting from Quebec and heading over to British Columbia. He found that if he kept his mind busy with this it would keep his mind off what had happened. Soon enough Neil had made it up to Alaska, down along the west coast all the way down to South America and then flies back up through the USA to his home in Quebec. Along his journeys, Neil had started to realize that once again there were things to look forward to in life. That the sun will always shine again. With help from others and the integrity in himself he was able to strive through this bump in the road and continue on with his life. Now Neil is again recording and touring with his band, living life at its finest. This makes me feel grateful for what I have in life and that I should cherish every moment of it because no matter how good things are, they can always turn downhill in a moments notice as demonstrated by Neil's story.

Should Shakespeare Still be Taught in High School English Classes?

Personally I don't believe that Shakespeare should still be taught in schools. Yes I do understand that there are many messages and meanings behind the acts in the plays that still remain the same these days but you could find much more modern text that would have the same messages and students wouldn't mind reading it. The students might not actually complain and they might learn something because let's be honest, the only thing students learn with Shakespeare is that they want nothing to do with it. I know I'm not the only one who thinks that Shakespeare shouldn't be taught any more.

Thoughts on discriminatory Halloween costumes.

Personally I believe that the whole idea of 'cultural' Halloween costumes is blown out of proportion. People are taking these costumes that are apparently, 'offensive', way too serious. For example: People who are dressing up as a Geisha for Halloween are not trying to offend the culture, but embrace it. It is obvious that they are appreciating the culture rather than discriminating against it. There is no stereotype if they are calling themselves a Geisha. I think that these people who are targeting the 'cultural' costumes are just looking for a way to feel equal, but really it isn't necessary. It's all a personal opinion, but that's just mine.
