I was a little intimidated by this class at first but I overall really enjoyed my experience. I liked how this class focused on one novel and diving into it was definitely an interesting and challenging journey, but one I enjoyed nonetheless. With this class, I feel my close reading skills have improved. I was able to focus on individual chapters, characters, and even the class discussions helped me with paying attention to certain things I skipped over or missed. And while my skills still have a lot of room for improvement, I am still very pleased with the class.
