Reflection

As I look back on this UW20 I feel luck to have been part of I Am Me: Women's Autobiographies. This class remained interesting and entertaining and I honestly can say that I learned quite a bit. I learned how to better my writing style and how to organize my papers better. I also learned a better way to formalize my papers and to make them more credible. The teaching style was very personal and I loved how everyone in the class got to know one another. It made me want to go out to the vern three times a week. I thought that the library sessions were a little repetitve but they were also very helpful in aiding in my research. Overall, I enjoyed the class and I will miss going to UW, it was a nice change from the rest of my classes. I am glad as a sophomore that I did not decide to petition out!

Straight Up and Tace

I truly enjoyed reading Stephanie Klein's memoir Straight Up and Dirty. Her raw and tell-all personality made it a very interesting read. As she overcomes her divorce and experiences life again as a single women, her personality shines. I found myself able to relate to her struggles as a women due to her personable writing style. Klein uses identity as her lense as she seeks happiness after her life as she knows it falls apart. Although some may be offended by the details Klein reveals about her sex life, I thought these details helped the reader to stay interested. As I write my review on Straight Up and Dirty, I will add a positive spin as I critique Klein because I thoroughly enjoyed the book so much.
