AP Literature and Composition
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved to read. The books were a bridge where the characters and I met and and had an insane connection. My journey with Literature has brought me to a point where I would love to explore deeper into the subject. I would like your consideration to join the AP Literature and Composition class. Below, I will describe why I should be in the class, what I hope to gain from the class, and my favorite book. I hope that after reading this essay, you will be convinced why I would be a great contribution in the world of writing and in your class. Taking AP Lit is very important to me because reading and writing brings me great happiness. I love all types of Literature. It makes me feel excited and it gives me adrenaline. In third grade, the stories I read began to give me a wider span of imagination. I then began to write. The stories started off as short little mythical tales of what I dreamt of, or what I read in books. As I got older, the stories started to expand in length and in idea. Books gave me an escape from all of the worries in the world. It gave me a chance to dive into another world. It is an experience of new life and new adventures. The stories only aid in my writing more and more. I cannot wait to indulge in Literature and Composition for this class. I strongly feel that this class will give be a good foundation for whatever my job may be in the future. Communication is key for a class discussion, which I can contribute quite well. I love taking the message from each book, and discussing it. Exploring our imagination as a class can only lead
Ramirez 2 to amazing things, and I would love to be apart of the piece of art that will be created. There is so many different genres of art and interpreting them is my favorite thing to do. By communicating my opinion to other students, we can have discussions on the pieces we read. I hope to pursue a career in writing. Literature is essential

    A student is required to complete at least one of these courses every year, regardless if they already meet the requirements to graduate. While these classes are necessary for the first two or three years of high school, should they continue to remain so throughout the rest of a student’s education? The last year or two of high school should be devoted to developing a student’s interests. If a student aspires to become an author, editor, or literature professor, then English, literature, and creative writing would be their focus.…

This Class not only helped enhance my writing abilities but to also better evaluate the writings of others and forced me to acknowledge the rigorous work of future courses in college.…
