Hi class, I’m Diego. I’m a third year transfer from Southwestern college and I am excited to take these higher level English classes. I’ve always loved literature, reading, and stories in general since I was a kid. Whenever I wasn’t watching movies, I was reading. Although I have a dream of being able to write my own stories, I view that more as a personal hobby/interest. What I really want to do with my degree is use it as an avenue into law. I’ve always been obsessed with ideas of justice and stories even slightly related to this topic, and I’ve always admired the people that help others with their knowledge of the law, even if it is flawed. Other than law and crime stories, my second favorite genre is horror. Some of my favorite books are The Silence of the Lambs and Dracula and two of my top three favorite movies are Scream and Alien. I also want to read more classics, I have a lot of unopened ones on my bookshelf, but Moby Dick is one of the ones I did read, mainly because it was constantly referenced throughout Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and I wanted to understand why. I’m looking forward to reading it again and getting a better grasp on it with everyone throughout the semester.
