Circle it up!

• 
  When I hear English 023 the first thing that comes to my mind is CIRCLE IT UP! The very first day of class we were all shocked (and some what disgusted) to hear that we had to sit in a circle. The first few class periods after that we walked in to the room sat in rows, and prayed that those three little words wouldn't be uttered again... but they were... Now everyone walks into class, sits in the circle, and gets ready to talk....
  
  
  
• My favorite topic of discussion in this class was language. Especially June Jordan's essay on Black English. I guess I felt connected to this essay because I had a similar reaction the first time I tried reading "The Color Purple" . I think language interests me so much because people are able to use so many different forms of it, and can change the form they are using in the blink of an eye.
