Maya Creamer Assignment 3

Studying the liberal arts has allowed me to become knowledgeable and confident in many different subjects, and is preparing me to be successful in whatever I do after high school and college. Studying and analyzing different types of literature has made me more aware of the variety of ways in which an author can present their theme/purpose, and has enhanced my critical thinking skills; I am now better able to pick out the meanings behind different literary devices within the context of certain texts. This extends to my life in general because it allows me to understand important parts of our society's history, and understand the world more deeply, making connections to things I've read. My studies of the humanities has rounded out my education because it has bridged the gaps between the different subjects I learn in school; the arts, literature, etc., have helped me see how everything I learn at school connects, as well as how it connects to our history as the human race. I also feel like studying the humanities has made me a more well-rounded person, because I am able to better appreciate the beauty of the world around me and the people I interact with.
