I honestly really enjoyed your class. I could tell from head on you cared deeply about your students achieving. Also, I enjoyed your way of teaching. It's refreshing to have a down-to-earth teacher in college. Furthermore, I greatly appreciated all your extra credit (knowing some of us need it...ME). Also you willing to stay after-hours for those who still needed help was greatly appreciated.
And of course, what I didn't like. Probably the fact we never got to really choice our topic to write on. Of course we got to choice the subject of the topic, but I would have loved to actually choose the topic altogether. It would have made for better creative writing. Also I would have loved to maybe have some choices of the book we were to read. I'm not saying let us pick out our own book, but a selection would have be nice. I found it rather difficult to stay focused into the life of Anne Boleyn. Don't get me wrong though, it was a pretty good book, just not something I would read or find interest in, but it was very informing though.
Anyways those are my thoughts and comments about my first college english class. I hope you have a wonderful summer Ms. Hanson, and good luck on finishing your Master's Degree (if I'm correct).

Chapter (3)
Chapter 1
Basically at the end of the book, real Anne awakens to find her doctor telling her she has had a brain aneurysm and that it had erupted. She is also told of a second one but there was no possibly way to remove it.
Chapter 2
Once Anne is discharge from the hospital her friend Kate comes to pick her up. She begins reading books on Tudor history and you also get to meet Daniel for the first time. If you didn't know Daniel=Henry...
Chapter 3
In this chapter Anne heads back to the hospital to get her stitches removed and you also learn about her family being in a tragic car accident when she was young. Also did I mention it was real Anne's birthday? Daniel ends up taking her on a picnic, where she later tells him "it's over". She also ends up telling Daniel about her crazy adventure into Anne Boleyn's life.
Chapter 4
Finally Anne returns to her obsession, Hever Castle home of Anne Boleyn. She than proceeds to telll the tour guide what Anne Boleyn is saying in a picture. She then goes into Thomas Boleyns grave and mourns for him. (Honestly I dont understand that. If your father is pimping you and your sister out, how could you mourn for him?)
Chapter 5
In this chapter Anne is missing Daniel something awful, but Daniel wants to take a break due to his daughter getting meningitis. In that case it so happens to be the 500th year celebration since King Henry was proclaimed king. Anne decides to join in the celebration but ends up getting a text from Daniel saying he wants to end his old life and start and new life with her, but just then Anne ends up going back into Tudor times once more.

Chapters 13, 14, 15
Chapter 13
In the last chapter Anne was sent home to let rumors die down. She spends Christmas Eve with Margery (Thomas Wyatt's sister). She learns Margery is one of Anne's good friends and later ends up spending time at the Wyatt's home upon request from Margery.
Chapter 14
When Anne arrives home she is shortly greeted by two doctors. The King worries of Anne's health and wants to know if she is alright. The doctors are also on their way to speak to the pope. The doctors give Anne a letter from Henry (basically saying I miss you) and set off on their journey once more.
Chapter 15
This is basically my favorite chapter. FINALLY Katherine calls out Anne for being a home-wrecker. I honestly agree with Kathrine. I honestly can't stand people who try to wreck other peoples relationship. Katherine gets "mad props" from me on this one. Honestly if it was me, I would have called her out long ago in front of Henry & court.

Chapter 9, 10, 11, 12
Chapter 9
This is the chapter were Anne starts to gain her allies to take down Cardinal Wolsey. She agrees to help, but she tells them she will do it on her own time. Also Anne has a moment of weakness when she almost gives into having sex with Henry, but she stays strong and holds her vows. The court is now leaving for Richmond and on their way, Anne noticed the rotting flesh of two traitor's heads on spikes. This almost makes Anne throwup.
Chapter 10
This chapter is when Anne gets into a catfight with Wolsey, and runs to Henry snitching. (How I like to see it.) Upon bringing bad news about Henry's marriage, Wolsey also disrespects Anne in the process making a even madder King. Stepping away from the Chapter. In the show the Tudors, Wolsey is seemingly skinnyer. He looks nothing like (book) Anne's description.
Chapter 11
In this chapter Anne gets seriously jealous when she sees Henry with Katherine. She is also dissed by Katherine's daughter Mary. She later joins her brother for a horse back ridding, but when she returns the king questions her whereabouts. Also later on that night when Anne received a invitation to the King's room he tells her she will no longer have to wait on Katherine.

Tudor Wolsey
Chapter 11

She later joins her brother for a horse back ridding, but when she returns the king questions her whereabouts. Also later on that night when Anne received a invitation to the King's room he tells her she will no longer have to wait on Katherine.
Chapter 8
In the last chapter Anne got in a heated argument with her uncle. It was very uncommon and frowned upon when women spoke back to men or tried to carry on a public argument. Also this would be the first day Anne would go work for the queen (which she hated the thought of). You also meet Anne's close friend Nan, which she confirms all the rumors too. She is also greeted by the Queen in a sly but classy "Welcome to London, I know what you're up to skank!" kind of Welcoming.
Chapter 7
Ughhh I honestly hate Anne's dad. He cares too much about power and titles rather than his own daughter's well-being. Once upon arrival Anne's father starts laying down a list of rules. Also in this chapter you get to meet Catherine Howard, Anne's first cousin and Henry's 5th wife. (She too was also executed)
Chapter 6
With the house empty, Anne is left alone to observe tudor lifestyle. When she wasn't learning how to live the lifestyle, Anne spent long hours in their library. This is also the chapter you finally get to meet Anne's best friend, her brother! From the start you can tell they both have a strong connection and love each other. Upon greeting each other, he gives Anne a letter from Henry telling her to come to court. This is when Anne, her brother, and mother ride to London.
