English Creative Writing Class

Currently, we have a new student teacher teaching Ms. Lee's English Creative Writing class. His name is Mr. M, and he goes to City College of New York. He is at a crossroads right now, and he is debating whether to continue pursuing a career in teaching. I think he is a great teacher because he helps us with our writing. He wants his students to think outside of the box. He provokes deep reflections and thoughts. He intertwines philosophy and psychology to add more depth to our writing. We speak about every day things, such as religion, school, and dealing with other people. We also have very sadistic discussions. For example, the other day, we were forced to write about the end of times. In the end of times there would be a group of 20, of which only 10 would be chosen to survive. The group members would have to vote to choose who would make the cut. Each respective group member would vouch for their survival based on what skills they had. For example, those who were doctors survived because of the need for health care, where as a harp player was voted off. The writing exercise made us decipher between needs and wants.
