You’ve been in American Literature for 4.5 weeks now. How has the class been going for you so far?

 Prompt: The class has been going very well for me. I have been learning everything pretty smoothly and it comes easy to me. I feel like I am being taught well and effectively. If the rest of the year goes like how this first 4.5 weeks have gone, then it should be an easy year. The material and assignments make a lot of sense to me. I hope it stays this way for the rest of the year.

Summary: Today we read and analyzed the poem, "Because I could not stop for Death."

Reflection: I learned that I shouldn't fear death and should live life to the fullest.
