A Magical World

I love reading Children's literature because it takes you to a world that doesn't typically exist in adulthood. A world where anything can and does happen. Emotions run high and action prevails but there is hardly a dull moment.

Unfortunately as we grow up and life happens, this world seems to diminish and fade into the background. We love children because they keep us young and intrigued. Society embraces fantasy books and movies like Harry Potter because it takes us away from our mundane lives and into an foreign yet surprisingly familiar world of excitement and fantasy, even if we aren't consciously doing it.

Personally, I believe this world can and does exist in real life. It's just easy to forget about it unless your a child.

I am a senior International Advertising and Public Relations Major with minors in French and Business. Sounds pretty concrete, but even in my sought-after profession, creativity is key.

I am taking this course to fulfill a writing emphasis credit but really I wanted the opportunity to take an English course to encourage myself to read, write and keep the child in me active.
