Sophomore year (2nd year) I took AP European History and AP English Language and Composition. This English class is about analyzing rhetorical devices and literary devices and how they affect the reader. We read a lot of speeches, letters, and novels. However, we do not discuss themes in this class; rather, we discuss how the language of a text conveys the meaning or purpose of a text. It’s a very analytical class and most of us hated it. However, it’s considered the easier of the two AP English classes because there is less freedom in the analysis. Once we learn a certain way to analyze a text, we can apply it to pretty much every text.    To read the full article, you need to join GAW (Global Admission Web).
