Sub day

      On yesterday Mr. Rease was absent so we sat in another teachers class. In the class we watched funny videos and a lot of vines. It was a really chill day that I needed.

Shakespeare reflect

  Today was a very difficult day. I learned how too write a sonnet but the process wasn’t very easy. The hardest part was remembering that you have too have a unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. While doing that you also have too remember the 5 feet foot. The rhyme scheme  was also very hard but overall I got through and completed the assignment.

Elsie’s Sonnet

   Grandaddy, why you had too leave so soon?
    Your time was so unexpected too me
     Your wait I went too with many balloons
      Was a sad site for me too see no glee
     The saddest day of life when you left me
      I felt your soul leave in so many ways
       You was just too sweet for the blind too see
        Heart felt like it was my last high school play
     I filled my heart with plenty happiness
      Just too get through every sleepless cold night
      So many memories still caused sadness
      Wrap up in my bed to regret despite
   Although you’re gone my love remains the same
   Never thought my heart would overcome this pain.

Shakespeare

On yesterday we started off class by first taking notes about what we will need too know too understand Shakespeare’s poem. Learning about stressed and unstressed syllables was the funniest part. We also learned that all Shakespeare poems have a rhyme scheme. Overall yesterday was a very good and chill day.

Emily Dickinson

     Yesterday I learned not only how too analyze a poem but also how too analyze the tititoe of a poem. By analyzing the title of a poem it gives you a idea about what the poem is going too be about. I had fun learning how too find out the literal meaning of phrases. Overall yesterday was a great day in AP lit

    As an AP student entering AP lit I hope too improve my skills and ways of learning just like those of last year taking AP language & composition. Last year I started off in a slump not completing books , work, horrible time management, etc... I started too improve toward the end before I took the AP exam. The key too becoming a good reader is first discovering your weakness. Every good reader ahas strengths and weaknesses.  My strengths with reading prose fiction is that I can find multiple rhetorical devices within the novel that helps sometimes make connections with myself. However, with prose fiction I tend too have difficulties summarizing the novel. When I’m done reading it’s like I forget everything that I just finish reading. Poetry on the other hand set various moods for readers. When it comes too poetry I am very good at visualizing what the author is saying. It is very easy too make connections with a couple of lines when it comes too poetry. However, a reader can find it extremely difficult too comprehend what the author is trying too get you too make connections too. It is also very hard too read in between the lines and predict what’s going too happen next. Also when reading poetry you might come across a lot of words that you don’t know. Furthermore, reading helps me expand on my vocabulary and come up with more strategies and skills of learning.

Meal time

      Meal time is important because it builds family relationships. When my mom come home from work when we eat is our time too talk about different things. When we all are eating together we have a chance too catch up on things that we haven’t talked about. Having meal time is also important because it keeps one off their phone. From my experience, I have noticed that when we eat with my grandmother no one pulls out their phone. By not being on your phone it can entitle you too working on building the bond that you always wished for. Furthermore,having meal time helps build family relationships.
