What I Learned in English Class

            I learned many things in this class; yes we honed our skills in MLA format writing, but most of all I learned how to think deeper and how to think critically. I have learned to not take things at face value, to do my own research and even though I am not yet able to do it I am trying to not let my own opinions taint what reality actually is. I also took some life lessons from the book "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau. These might not seem school related at first but these things help your study habits, your everyday day life and your happiness.
             Thinking critically is one of the best things you can do. It would be like thinking what you want to have for dinner and you say corn dogs, but then you start critically thinking about what you want to have for dinner and you think about the consequences of said corn dogs and what it's going to do to your body and maybe how it's going to make you feel in the morning for that job interview. This helps so much in school also, if you read an article you absorb it and you might know what it said but you probably don't know what the meaning of it is. If you think about it critically and take the words apart you can often find deeper meanings.
             Additionally, you can't take everything you read as truth, you have to do your own research on topics. Some people might be withholding information or even giving false information for personal reasons. Do the facts check you don't want to look like a goof giving out bad information just because you believed it without scrutiny. I had deeply enjoyed reading "Walden" Henry Thoreau was one of the first great critical thinkers of the 1800's and we can take many lessons from him and his book. The thing that hit home with me the most is when he talked about making your and we can take many lessons from him and his book. The thing that hit home with me the most is when he talked about making your and we can take many lessons from him and his book.
