An overview

Nearing the end of my first semester, it seem to me that English Studies is a subject of its own specialty. For me, an interesting subject such as this should be conveyed how my lecturer taught me. He teaches with enthusiasm, and always entertain us with his smooth jokes. from all of the short stories, I can conclude majority of them have a tragic ending. Well, truthfully it all end up either dead or in a sad condition, I must say that maybe some of the writers of these short stories are sadistic or pessimistic. Maybe they just like making gloomy endings. For me though, there is one short stories that stand out the most. Lamb to the Slaughter. Why? because the irony in the story. It is conveyed in a very funny way and most of all the storyline as it is as interesting as watching a movie For the poem, much thinking are needed in order to comprehend even just one line from them. But, as it is poems are very interesting especially when they have layers of layers of deep meaning from them. Challenges us to think much more creatively. Overall, it is a good subject. Not to be a suck up, but this subject is one of the subject that I look forward to when in class other than social studies.
