What book have I always wanted to read and why?
I have always wanted to read Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I think she is a wonderful author. I love to read when I get a chance to just read what I want, but I hardly ever get a chance to because I am always having to read things for class or do other things. During the summer if I don't take summer classes I can read more.
What do I want to do with my English degree?
I would love to be a junior high English teacher. Not only do I want to be able to teach students the things they will need to know as far as grammer goes, but I want to be able to touch someones life like teachers have in my life. I believe that teachers are very significant people in everyones life whether it is in a good way or bad. Of course I want it to be in the good way. I also want to write a book. I started wanting to really write this summer. I'm not sure how everything will work out but hopefully it will.

What does good writing look like?
I believe good writing looks very well organized and the intended audience can read it with ease. Good writing is not hard to obtain if you practice and have either peers or someone you know edit it. It is always good to have more than one person edit your paper unless you know the person editing it is like having five people edit it. Going back to the intended audience, the writer will have vocabulary in the paper that each person reading it will understand. That is not saying they won't have upper level vocabulary, that is just saying they will have vocabulary that isn't above the level of the intended audience. I believe good writing and a good writer doesn't have just the bare minimum of writing they have in the middle if not to the max of what the teacher/boss wants them to have.
