When I first received the Proust Questionnaire I literally stared at the paper for about five minutes contemplating on how I could answer the questions. Me at the age of nineteen was amazed and impressed about how Marcel answered the questions at the young age of thirteen. As I went on to read thoroughly through Marcel's responses I started to get a better understanding of how to grasp the questions and answer them with my own feelings and thoughts. Completing the questionnaire was very interesting and has given me some understanding of how I think and feel. I enjoyed this exercise because it made me think about things I've never been asked before. For example, the question, "when I am the happiest?." If someone asked me that question before I had a chance to see it on paper I'm sure I would have been dead silent because until this questionnaire I see now what makes me happy and doesn't, what values I have and which ones I don't hold. For the future I will now be forever critical about understanding my surroundings throughout my life.
I look forward to exploring ways of formatting research papers in this class. This questionnaire gave me a somewhat feel of what this class is going to offer me and I am thrilled to come into this english class. What I have grown to realize over the years is the fact that I don't like to think outside the box, I tend to go for the obvious. I will push myself to think more abstractly, therefore, even improving my writting skills. I wish for the best this semester.
