THE MOVIE AND THE BOOK

For most part of the movie that I watched it wasn't to different from the book. The book wasn't too interesting I liked the movie more. In general I don't like reading books.

For the most part the movie was interesting better than the book.

FINAL REFLECTION FOR WORLD LITERATURE 2020-2021

Something different we did since the beginning of this year is the fact we had to do our work on our own and just write out our thoughts on our blogs. I personally didn't know that we can have our own blogs which kind of surprised me. It's just something different I haven't done with any of my teachers and doing these blogs is something new to me. I can express all my thoughts through the blog. Also, I can relate to some of my classmates and know I'm not the only one feeling the same way. I didn't really like having class virtually for me I can't focus or pay attention because I get distracted by the most easiest things. I tried learning all that I can but it's different when we are physically together we can understand each other better. In school teachers teach you well and you can understand each course better...
