English 101 rocks my world…really!
Over the course of this semester, I have appreciated learning the characteristics of the different forms of writing. My favourite though is still the personal essay. At the time, we had read the works of Jonathan Franzen and Caitlin Flanagan, both of whose writing was intensely evocative. Franzen describes his father’s slow decline into Alzheimer’s and its effects on his parent’s relationship while Flanagan recalls her mother’s decision to stop being a stay-at-home mother and begin a career as a nurse. These incidents were significant in the lives of these authors and the care with which they retell their stories is a testament to this.
