Kim's Manifesto

I started off the semester saying the motto for a critic should be “take it or leave it.” I walk away from this class believing that same thing, but more. My view of the critic expanded from believing that the only thing in a critique was opinion to learning that a lot more thought and research goes into critiques. To be a critic you really have to expand your mind, be open to new thoughts and be able to clearly express your ideas. I respect critics in a new way now than I did before. I believe their opinions are to be valued and listened too, but only to a reasonable amount. My advice for people out there is to trust your opinions and trust yourself, you are the only one who knows exactly what you will like.
