Introduction

I'd like to use this space here to introduce this blog and and say a little about what I plan to do with it. First off I'll start by giving some explanation for the name of the blog, Straight Outta AP Lit. I wanted to put a little urban flare into into my blog, a bit of street thug if you will. I was between 'Lit Thuggin' and 'Straight Outta AP Lit', I went with the later though because I just felt that it was right. Hopefully you've already noted that this is a reference to the song Straight Outta Compton, of course I like the juxtaposition that an blog about literature analysis and AP Lit is nothing like street life or Compton. But whatever, I'm straight outta AP Lit.
The purpose of this blog will be to analyze different pieces of literature in an insightful and academic manner in order to hopefully reach a level at which this becomes easy to do and brings something interesting into my literary analysis. I've already tried to mix up the usual way in which a literary analysis is done, my first blog was about the movie World's End directed by Edgar Wright and another blog about a song called Lux Aeterna, an orchestral piece by Clint Marshall. What was interesting, at least in my opinion, was that the analysis wasn't about a novel or another piece of traditional literature. Instead my blogs were on something different and hopefully it brought a new view to how I can write a literary analysis and what it can be.
My plan is to continue this and write blogs that explore the possibilities of the literary analysis. So stay tuned for more, because these are only the first of many more to come.
