English undergraduate program

I decided to attend the english undergraduate program for the Panel 12, the speakers that were there was Jenna Enright and Dara Fennell. They both read one of there own pieces. Jenna Enright wrote a short story called "Sitting Outside a Coffee Shop in Paris, France." This story was about a girl, who decided to study abroad in Paris, France. The whole time in this story, she was sitting at a coffee shop, pretending to read a book called love stories, and drinking a cappachino. She sat there all day, and thought about love, and how she never found it. So while she was sitting there she told the waiter that she was waiting for someone, even though she didnt know who that someone was. After sitting around all day, she decided to go sit by the fountain, and give up. Just as she did that the waiter went to her table got her book. and realized it was empty, wrote in it, and brought it to her, maybe soon to be the love she was waiting for.

The other speaker there, Darra Fennell, wrote a reseach paper, called "A Love-Hate Zombie Relationship? : Gender Eqaulity and in Price and Predujice and Zombies." This was a paper that described how the actual Pride and Predjudice book, was rewritten by someone else and they addede zombies into it. I never read either of these books so i thought it was interesting to here the different point of views on each of the books. It was also interesting to learn how such a well known book, published by such a well known auther Jane Austin, was actually rewritten. Overall this paper was very interesting, and it made me think of a lot of different perspectives you can have on something so unbiased.

Overall this program was very interesting, and only took about 40 minutes out of my day. I really liked listening to fellow students read something they wrote, other than hearing them read an original story, already written. It also helps you think of different ideas you can use in your own papers. Overall this was a good experience.
