Wow! In class essays are so daunting! I didn’t know how I should choose from three topics that I was at least somewhat of an expert on. Maybe, some of you guys could shed some light on the experience you’ve had with the last in-class essay?
I do have some minor complaints about it. I did find it somewhat exciting that we were all on a sort of quest of writing…but did not find it particularly enjoyable that I was rushed. I guess it is a downfall from not paying too much attention in elementary school…that I don’t have the rudimentary skills to pace myself. Then, editing was another story all together. If Mr. Crandall didn’t give us enough time to finish…I don’t think I would have survived from that experience in one piece. Anyhow, I wrote on Keats…because it allowed for more creative writing.
I found Keats enjoyable because I was allowed free reign to critique his writing without actually knowing of his work. I love poetry. To me this piece spoke of volumes about ones philosophical experience or the discovery of it. Everybody is either discovering, experiencing, or endowing revelations in mystical magical ways…so that our spirits can be moved beyond our own common understanding of the world.
Keats was writing to his friend, who he is obviously trying to make a grand impression. I believe that Keats was experiencing the omnipresence of God. He was being moved by the splendor & beauty of creation that was indeed flowing through him – as everyone was a sort of conduit to the energy of their environment. This was one mans experience, one mans point of view. I’m sure if everyone were to write how they felt at that particular time, we would have seen some similarities…

2.5 hours is typical time for a final test. The class had almost that long.
It is tough, though.
It was not he time, it was the topics. I have never read Keats and I dont read poetry. It took me a fair amount of time to figure out what he was trying to say. Consequently is spent a lot less time writing. I gave Keats a shot, and took on the challenge nothing ventured nothing gained. Hope its not to costly.
...yes...my mistake. I had 30 all of minutes since I didn't know what the official start time was. I merely found out after receiving a phone call & discovering what you all were working on...my bad. Anyhow, I didn’t exactly experience the full 2.5 hours you guys are talking about.
...Yahoo...can i read your paper?you can send it to melroseplaced@bluebottle.com
Iwrote my essay on Keats. I later regret not writting my essay on something that I knew that I was interested about. My essay would of been much longer...
Hey...melroes0914...nice to see you here! I saw that you know some stuff about Keats. I'm interested in what you wrote about him...since you know more than me. Want to switch papers and see how we did? You can totally tear me apart if I’m so completely off. I want to see what you wrote. Interested? Bring your paper to class next week.
