Since you are a pioneer of sorts, as not many people have taken this type of class, i.e., using the book groups, the web-enhanced, writing intensive, and guest lecturers, you should have much to share about your experiences.

The goal here is to reflect back upon your development in these last few months  and write about those insights. This is your chance to talk about yourself as a student, writer and reader of literature. Please follow your own inspiration here.

Since this will be the final essay you write in English 131W, your talents should be amply displayed. The possibilities are endless.

Your prevailing goal is to define what literature is in terms of what we have read and experienced during this short time together.
