Wrap Up
I have really enjoyed this online English class. It allowed for a lot of freedom and that is exactly what I need to be motivated to learn. I think this is one class I would have enjoyed in the classroom. It was somewhat difficult to work in a group on this last project as far as communicating. I think Professor Butts would have been great to experience in real life, considering he was a much better professor than many I have encountered so far. But, I am lucky I got to be a part of this. The writing assignments have helped me recognize how I best communicate and has helped me to improve my writing skills. Thanks for making this a great summer class!

Reality
When I think about reality, I think of what I actually experience and how it effects me. Whenever something has a direct effect on me physically, mentally, or spirtually, it becomes real to me. My reality, however, could be different than the next persons'. I don't think reality can have a solid definition. The faith I have in a higher being, God, is the truest form of reality to me, but to an atheist that is not reality at all. All the rhetoric surrounding us; magazines, tv shows, websites, movies, books, influences us greatly. Most of us do allow these influences to dominate our lives, which makes it our reality. We wear what they tell us to wear, and we do what they tell us to do. So, reality to each person is what they think they know, that may or may not be true. We all have free will to think what we want, say what we want, and believe what we want. We can choose our own realities.
