The best of both worlds

i have always had a love for writing. At first i used to hate it but then i realized that after people told me that I'm pretty good at it and after editing my school's old newspaper, i actually like it. Drexel has furthered my love for english and my motivation to write. As soon as Professor McCann showed us some clips from Goodfellas, Saw, Godzilla, and Monty Pythons, I knew that this would be a fun and interesting class.

I love movies a lot. They are one of my favorite things to study. The director, the cast, the audience, the special effects, it's all great. I was even thinking of minoring in film and video. What i love most about this english class is that we integrate current and not so current sources to supplement our learning. Such sources as recent as Saw and as old as Scooby Doo. I think it is a great way to keep things interesting, yet still have us think analytically. 

My last and final love in this class is the freedom to be creative. I am an engineering major so English is the one class i have that allows me to think creatively. I am definitely a math/science person but i absolutely have a deep rooted love in music, art, and other such humanities. If it wasn't for this class, i would go crazy. 

All these reasons are what help me to think critically. I mean yeah, it's fun to sit around and watch old TV shows all day, but it's fun and interesting if you can think critically about it and draw inferences such as the questionable sexual orientation of Fred from Scooby and the gang. All in all, this class combines the skills and motivation to be professional in my writing, yet it allows me to have fun while i do it.
