Hello! I am from a little town called Benbrook, here in Texas. Haven't lived anywhere else!! I am a Junior at TCU and getting a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. I have never really cared for Fiction just because I am a person that enjoy's reading what is real, but I really need to broaden my horizons and become more creative instead of just sticking to the facts.
I have never really focused any of my readings on Gothic Literature but I do love movies such as Sleepy Hollow, which I consider to have a Gothic theme to it as the characters are dressed in suits and tight ballroom dresses. I in all honesty will say that I do not have a concrete idea of what Gothic Literature is or what it's supposed to look like in a reading. I struggle to be creative so at times I may not give the most elaborate and descriptive answer to a question, but I do answer with honesty. I can, at times, be a little blunt so if I offend anyone with my posts or remarks, please don't get mad. I just tend to stick to my point of view.
I am not very talkative and can be very shy. This could become a problem for the class discussions but i'll do my best. I guess i'm always just scared of someone laughing at me and thinking that reply to a statement is not up to others standards.
I have read and agree to the terms of the course syllabus.
Can't wait for the class to start!!

Hello Rachel/Manda -- which do you prefer? I am glad to have you in my class, and I appreciate your honesty in your post. Initially I was a big reader in non-fiction as well, but I've come over to the dark side; I'll see if I can persuade you to come too [grin]. I think that you'll enjoy analyzing how fiction serves as a metaphor for what is real in society as a whole. Many people do not realize how political a seemingly harmless bit of "entertainment" can be.
