Visions and Glimpses

Ms. Penglase,
Thank you so much for the postcard! It finally arrived at its destination a week later than the date on top, wow, Milwaukee is further than I remember..
A giant "ditto" to the great two years we've been teacher and student together. It's hard to say whether I took the class because I liked what I was exposed to in junior English or if it was because you're a great teacher. I just remember my freshman year English teacher who just wrote "Good job" on all of our Romeo and Juliet papers, and once told me "you sound more like you're writing for a trashy celebrity tabloid" (luckily she was not a permanent fixture in the department). What I will remember most about Lit (well ok there's still some left) is actually learning for sure what feminism is. I always have had a backbone and resented my mother's selfless embrace of the housewife mentality and lifestyle, but I never had been knowingly exposed to feminist literature or ideas. So thank you again for the postcard but more importantly for everything that I will remember from English.
Sincerely,
Em
