Hi! I'm Laura, and this is my blog for AP Comp.
I am looking forward to the class partly because I would like to read more during the school year, and classes that make it mandatory seem to be the only way to prevent me from being too busy or distracted to finish books.
I do read several books in the summer. I haven't yet managed to finish any of his behemoth novels, but I really like Victor Hugo's work. I also like Malcolm Gladwell, Jane Austen, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and The Color of Water by James McBride.
I love art, music, and movies. Some of my favourite painters include Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Amadeo Modigliani, Salvador Dali, and Sandro Botticelli.
I am usually listening to music at any point of the day. Janelle Monaé, Ella Fitzgerald, the Beatles, Carmen by Georges Bizet, and Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen are amongst my personal favourites, but I listen to so many artists that fall in and out of favour constantly.
Some of my favourite movies include Evita, West Side Story, Stardust, and The Princess Bride. As for television, F.R.I.E.N.D.S is my favourite TV show by far and above.
That's enough about me, time for some AP Comp!
Hey Laura! Welcome to the class. Great taste in books, music, art, and film: I think you're a natural fit for AP Composition. We'll actually be reading The Great Gatsby later in the school year: it will be interesting to get your thoughts on it upon another read-through.
