I'm Not Sure What to Title This Blog

You said to give you our opinion on the class so far and how we feel about writing the paper on rhetorical ads, so here it goes. I was actually very surprised at the topics we are covering in class. Every English class I've taken has been the cookie cutter "Lets read a book, write a paper on it, take a test and then repeat the cycle" and I have HATED it. I've dreaded English classes for pretty much my entire academic career because I'm a very logical person, I don't like that there can be several different answers and I don't like that anybody can come up with some two bit idea and they can be just as right as everyone else. So, finally going to a class where we're analyzing media and ads from today's culture made me think that I might actually not hate English this year because we're talking about things that are relevant to our lives today instead of reading books written by "Old dead white guys" as my high school AP Lit teacher would say. So, I actually am interested in taking this class and think it's nice to take a different road in an English class and to write papers analyzing media and rhetoric instead of plot elements and literary devices for once.
