For the most part, English 1A seems to be nearly the same as English A except without the 5 paragraph essay. Although the 5 paragraph system seems limiting, it also lets me know exactly what is expected of me instead of trying to guess about what is wanted. Honestly I've barely cracked open the MLA book except to find out how to cite something, makes me glad my wife and I are sharing a book. I recall that in the previous semester that the excerpt from "The Banking Concept" was shorter. I wonder if there is more to it but at the same time I rarely read "just because". Banking concept seems to be the root of each subsequent book or essay as in people are not really thinking for themselves and are reduced to mindless sheep or lemmings. As far as revising essays go, I'm planning on focusing on the last one (Essay #3) because it is more fresh in my mind and I am more concerned about the subject matter than in the others.
