“English 3 Intrigue and Illusion was one of my favorite classes this school year. The literature was phenomenal and opened my eyes to the fact that analyzing stories and poems can help me understand what I read in a deeper sense. Now when I read books or watch movies in my spare time, I use those skills I have developed. It allows those tasks to become so much more meaningful. The poetry section in this class really helped me understand some of the complex passages in the Bible. Since the Bible is essentially one-third poetry, analyzing poetry sharpened my senses in what to look for when reading my Bible. Another area I feel I really grew in is my ability to prove a claim with evidence. That is a skill I will use all of my life, from college to even just having a friendly conversation or argument with someone. I definitely recommend this class if those are areas you want to strengthen.”
