English... Fun?

I would have never thought I would say these three words, "English is fun." Well, it's really more than English it is establishing a method of thinking. Many people are great at thinking, yet cannot argue a point. The arguing aspect of this writing is precisely what makes this class entertaining. Another part of this class that makes it fun is that the students are picking the topics of their papers, the topics, if even assigned specifically, are very vague and one can go down any avenue with the topic. Writing about your passions is what makes the class so enjoyable. For the first project we were given a very general prompt, go to an event and write a paper about it, arguing about how the culture connects with it. I could have chosen going to the park, or going on a walk to center city, but instead I chose to go to the movies. I really enjoyed writing a paper on this and I actually think I made a good argument about our society today. Writing this allowed me to express my views on how society is heading down the wrong path and needs direct intervention. It was challenging to write the paper and be able to back up each point, but once I finally accomplished it, there was a great sense of satisfaction from writing the piece. Believe it, I did say the English is fun.
