Danny: An Introduction

Hello classmates, my name is Danny! I am a Secondary Education English major. I was born and raised in Clinton, SC, where I attended Clinton High School. I currently work at Sam's Club here in Spartanburg as a cashier and accountant. I enjoy writing and aspire to publish several novels. Along side my love for writing, I, of course, have a fondness towards books in general. I find myself drawn to Young Adult novels, but I also enjoy poetry, short stories, and even play scripts. I enjoyed James Patterson's Maximum Ride series, John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. My favorite poem is America by Tony Hoagland and my favorite play is Trifles by Susan Glaspell. I do enjoy Shakespeare's works as well, especially Hamlet. I am excited to get to dive back into another semester full of reading and book discussions while getting to work towards my desired major.

  1. John Green is definitely one of my favorite YA authors. I got through APUSH by watching his crash course videos! I read both Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars in high school. Like the video we watched in class pointed out, YA lit is slowly moving towards the trend of depicting everyday life occurrences and challenges and showing how teens deal with them. That's what I love most about John Green's writing. It's funny, relatable, and simple. What did you think of the movie adaptation? I thought they did great casting the characters and I loved seeing how they directed all the major scenes and delivered the cute and witty one-liners.
