Hey, man, why are you even in that class?

Rhetoric of Vietnam isn't a class that I knew I'd be taking a year ago. I'm not the best writer in the world, so I'm trying to take as little English classes as possible. In fact, the last place I want to be at 8 in the morning is in an English class.

So why did I do it?

1. I need to learn how to write better, and the only way to get better is to write more. I knew that this class will have a lot of writing assignments and whatnot, so it would give me a little more experience. Since the only downside is having to write a lot, I think that Future Ron will be glad that he took it.

2. The Vietnam Conflict era is the most interesting time period ever. This is where politics in America was shown to be dirty, people clashed in the streets over civil rights, and the music was pretty groovy. The war changed everything that was previously thought of in wars, mainly how Charlie used guerrilla tactics to fend off the much mightier forces fighting against them. All of these sort of things mean that there are a lot of possibilities when it comes to subjects that we'd be writing about, so there won't be any repetition and boredom when it comes to writing assignments.

3. Any class with Walter, Donny, Smokey and the Dude on the cover of the course packet has to be great.
