I am looking
for inspiration and knowledge from AP lit. To me, literature is as important an
art as pictures, movies, and music. Art is the only topic where I can find
peace and meaning. I love to learn and always question things. I like to try
new things, and AP literature was too intriguing to walk away from. Honestly
though school irritates and bores me because it implies too many restrictions. I
think backwards, upside down, and never the “easy” way. I see AP literature as a
loophole in the system though. I enjoy hearing people’s opinions on art because
art never requires a right or wrong answer. It is always interesting to discover
unique perspectives too. In the future, I plan on utilizing the knowledge I
acquired from AP lit to experience new things, change the world, and learn.
hmmmm. I always thought of lit as art, so I guess you and I are on the same page (canvas?). My fave reading quote:

Orhan Parmuk (Nobel prize winning author from Turkey) I love that he connects writing to music--that has always worked for me too.
