I took one in high school, it was basically a languge arts class that focused on sci fi. If you like sci fi then it shouldn’t be to bad.
I’m trying to think of some good posters to put in my dorm room next year. So far I’ve got some Boondock Saints, Pulp Fiction, etc. But I want some funny ones and some sexy ones too, so if you can provide a picture of the best one you get 10 points just like that.
I’d like to become a writer of fiction, an actress, or possibly an artist…what should I do in high school to get into that kind of school? I’m not very talented in anything that isn’t creative…so I need to know what I should do! Please help!
Okay I need to write a 2400 word essay for my term research paper. MLA style. Here’s what I have to write about.. “your goal is to write a literary critical analysis: that is, your mission is to explain the literary side of your author by interpreting his or her works of fiction poetry or drama.” It says not to summarize their life and times but to use that information when analyzing. My dilemma is that with the amount of writing I have to do, how do I structure and outline what I’m going to write so that enough words are used?
My first choice is to be an actress, but obviously I have to have a backup, and if I can’t act, I would love to edit books. You’d think I’d have to major in publishing, but it isn’t an option on a lot of lists of majors on scholarship websites. What else could I major in to become an editor of fiction books?
My friend Sheed asked me to ask this question. He is having trouble dealing with his English teacher who is not allowing him to read college level books, adult books that aren’t fiction, or anything else that is above his level though he has proven many times that this is enriching and enjoyable to him. She is somewhat unaware of his situation though she has seen documentation of his extremely high IQ, and that he shows on a daily basis that everything is too easy. He tries to do projects and other activities above his grade level or even highschool level, but she doesn’t like to accept that he can do these things and is reluctant to change her teaching plan to 1 for her class and 1 for him as apposed to keeping him at a low level. She says why does he make B’s in my class if he is so smart. Since he is not allowed to read higher level books for credit, he chooses not to read kids fiction books from the school library. So how does he change his teacher being ignorant to helping him?
I’ve taught full-time as an English professor at a university–both literature and creative writing. I have a Ph.D. and have published fiction and essays. I want to get a way from the phoney-baloney world of academia. I know teaching in a private high school that has high standards might not be the solution, but I’d like to give it a try. How do I go about seeking jobs in this field?
