My most recent experience with critical analysis and critical thinking was this week while doing coursework for Developmental Psychology class where I am learning about the human lifespan and all that entails, such as the environment in which we are raised, the influences of our peers, family, how culture and tradition play a role on how we live our lives, how we react, the choices we make and trying to interpret the research of all the theories that are presented throughout the lifespan. It's very eye-opening and intriguing.

I’m not sure what my comfort level is concerning writing essays about literature as I feel like a fish out of water finding my way back to the ocean but I am excited to strengthen my writing skills while taking this course.

I am currently reading a novel called Shallow Waters by Anita Kopacz. This is a fictional novel about the Yoruba deity Yemaya or Yemonja. Yemaya is believed to be a powerful orisha who is said to have followed the slave trade through the transatlantic and said to mother all the enslaved people who were thrown and jumped overboard.

My favorite creative text is poetry, particularly by Langston Hughes.

1. What is your most recent experience with critical analysis and critical thinking?
- My most recent experience with critical analysis was during my ENG 1205.019 class, where I worked on a Drama Analysis Essay. I compared plays like *Electra* by Euripides, *Electra* by Sophocles, and *Tomoe* from Noh theatre. Analyzing the literary aesthetics and themes of these plays pushed me to deeply examine how different cultural contexts influence storytelling. This experience has enhanced my ability to critically analyze texts and construct thoughtful arguments, which I look forward to applying in this course.
