This will be my second attempt at ENG102, I don't say it proudly, although, I am glad to have a second chance. This time around I am enjoying the reading, which has helped the writer's block. My main downfall is I've spread myself thin and find it difficult to meet deadlines. While reading both O'Brien and Huze, I have felt more patriotic than before. I plan to dive into The Handmaid's Tale with as much enthusiasm.
