A little bit about this essay/project...

"American Horror Story" Review (ENGL101)

Another English 101 writing assignment. This one is a short review for the movie or televison show of our choice. I decided to go with my absolute favorite television show of the past year, American Horror Story.

Often, I have a short attention span involving television series’. Few shows can keep my attention to last though the season, let alone an entire series’ run.  American Horror Story, or AHS as it fans soon called it, aired its initial season on FX beginning in September 2011. AHS is the first series in a long time that managed to hook my attention thoroughly for an entire season, as well as leaving me impatient for the next season to begin.

The Salem Witch Trials: Their Lasting Impression on America (ENGL101)
