I am currently around one quarter away from finishing “A Tale of Two Cities”. At the same time, I have started a new sci-fi novel in the past week titled “Alive”. “A Tale of Two Cities”, being a classic Charles Dickens novel favored by many readers and writers across the centuries have great potential for the final literary essay as it explores a wide range of literary elements. I highly enjoy the use of the language of the author and the characters the author has created. After finishing “A Tale of Two Cities”, I plan to explore more classic English novels such as “Emma” or sci-fi novels such as “Dune”.

English 9 Goal-setting
After evaluating my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT), I have generated three goals for this year to assist me in becoming a stronger learner in English 9.
My reading of diverse genres and my analytical skills are my advantages in this year’s study. However, my short attention span and limited vocabulary are weaknesses of mine that I will need to work on.
- Develop a consistent reading habit where I dedicate at least 30 minutes a day on weekdays and 60 minutes a day on weekends to reading for pleasure.
- Expand my vocabulary through reading books of multiple genres.
- Write more on a weekly basis.
My family enjoys reading, therefore, has a great collection of books and reading resources that will provide me with many opportunities. My busy schedule and reluctance towards the nonfiction genre could potentially obstruct me from accomplishing these goals.
