ENGLISH PERFORMANCE

Lyrics to my individual evolution.

Here’s a story of how I’ve grown and learned things
From sharing stories
I will start out with how I walked into class
And sat there listening 

I was very quiet
Too nervous to say anything
That was doubting
I kept my thoughts to myself,
Focusing on reactions of the people who were busy shouting
But then after a few weeks
I let my persona leak
Oh, oh, oh
No one acted how I feared
And my tension disappeared
Now you’ve met me

I used to be shy, shy, shy
Now I’m bold, bold, bold
I’m molded by the stories my classmates told
They opened up my eyes
Now I see in different lights
I learned things aren’t always black and white

Asel and Cioglu

 

This is a story of how the Earth and its inhabitants were made. There used to be a time when there was no Earth. Where the Earth sits today, there used to be space. And next to this space were two planets called Mars and Venus, which were ruled by Asel and Cioglu, respectively.

Where I was, where I am now

So when I started off the class, I was a Carl Sagan. I used to have arguments with my family about how science is fact, or rather that there is only one truth out there and scientific facts come closest to reaching that truth. My mom and aunts would say that I was too stubborn to realize that everyone can have their own truth, and theirs was God. As I've come to the end of the semester I have seen how it is that there isn't only one truth, there isn't only one answer. I have come to the conclusion that when it comes to human beings in a social world, we all have our own truths which are based on experiences; and as far as prose goes, we write from different perspectives and angles. 
PS. To pull from one of the presentations:

Slips of The Tongue

Imagine you and your boyfriend were lying in bed, holding each other, comfortably and delightfully. And all of a sudden, he called you by his previous girlfriend’s name. What would you do? Did he call the ex’s name because he still had feelings for her? Or did he, as he would defend for himself, just make a slip of tongue? And can we judge whom your boyfriend truly loved by that slip? To understand what he was really thinking about at that moment, we have to examine what slips of the tongue are and what they can tell us.

Final Post

I really enjoyed the presentations today. I think they really highlighted a lot of the topics we have discussed in this class and each gave an interesting perspective. Even though I originally took this class because I needed an English credit, I have enjoyed the opportunity to read so many different types of literature. This class has given me a new perspective on analyzing the scientific writing that I use every day. I have learned that even what I might consider to be completely unbiased scientific literature cannot really be so. Happy holidays!
