The English Classroom is where I started gaining all the skills required to develop my understanding of the language. We were introduced chronologically to various aspects of the language.
The subtopics that we focused on during the semesters varied from linguistic knowledge to literary masterpieces. We studied Understanding Poetry and Drama and learnt how to decipher poems by famous figures such as Shakespeare, Keats, Wordsworth, etc. Under drama, we understood the different styles of some playwrights in The Admirable Chrichton by J. M. Barrie and An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen. We also went through a detailed introduction about the History of English literature from the 4th CE to the 20th CE.
Every semester brought excitement and the eagerness to find out what else is out there. We moved on to Understanding Fiction to understand the structure and form of various novellas and short stories. We referred to The Cask of Amontillado by E. A. Poe, The Animal Farm by George Orwell, and so on. Under the subject of Linguistics and Stylistics, we understood a plethora of concepts in etymology, morphology, phonology, phonetic script, and much more.
Over my college years, I chose electives such as Writing for Media and Creative Writing. These topics were the most interactive and hectic classes I've ever had to attend, but the grind was worth it. We researched various forms of media and literature, allowing us to create our writing styles and connect with the readers. Contemporary Indian Literature included yet another set of poems like Draupadi by Keki Daruwala, Background Casually by Nissim Ezekiel, Hunger by Jayant Mahapatra, and novels like Train to Pakistan by Kushwant Singh, Some plays such as Final Solution and Yayati and a few short stories.
To summarise, I had a ball of a time during college and gained variational knowledge that helped me when I decided to work as a content writer.
