My Final Message

Well, the semester has finally come to a close and it was a bit of a rough one, but it is over and done with. I enjoyed my little interjection in multicultural literature and have decided it is a topic worth more exploration on my part. I learned to expand my own view when looking at multicultural literature, and I have gained a greater appreciation for the literature that is out there already (both the good and the bad) and the literature which I hope is still to come. I would like to think I have learned to look at the text more critically and consider what is in the book itself, over what I believe is implied or left out. I have learned the importance of considering the text and looking at who we as readers interact with the text, both good and bad. Ultimately, my view points have evolved and I am beginning to consider different aspects of each text as I encounter them. I would still say I am learning, but we all should consider ourselves to still be learning.
