Good Days, Good Moods


Hey guys! So today was an amazing day!

It began with a driving lesson with my dad at 9 AM. For those that don't know, I get extreme anxiety driving and sometimes even riding in cars. But I've been working on it and driving everyday for an hour or more has really helped relax that anxiety.

Then my mom and I went to Fort Campbell, KY for a doctors appointment and grabbed lunch afterwards. We ended up at Sam's Greek Cafe and got gyros, pita chips and hummus.

My history class went relatively well, we discussed Empire and War in the United States during the 1890s and ended right before World War I. Then our professor discussed our history paper which is due Thursday and that I will be writing all of tomorrow. I find it easier with essays to write them all in one sitting so then I don't loose any train of thought, which I would if I started Monday and finished Wednesday. It would read as if three different people wrote the paper.

Next I went to Starbucks to grab a Venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha before English class. We are reading The Crucible by Arthur Miller (unfortunately, I've already read twice; one time for hobby and second for AP Language at my previous high school). Regardless, we had a test over Acts I-III and then were allowed to read Act IV in the beautiful 75 degree weather.

Ballet class was great as well, our teacher gave us some harder combinations today with fast timing so it was challenging but still fun.

Lastly, my mom and I went to Books A Million to get a copy of The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, the next book we are required to read in English. For dinner my mom and I made steak with waffle fries and my family all sat and chit chatted for about an hour. Before bed, my Dad and I played chess until midnight (he won twice). Now I'm writing this blog at 12:30 AM, I have to wake up at 7 to go driving with my dad in the morning and I'm planning on going to bed and reading The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.



















What are you doing at midnight? :)

Hamlet Accountable Talk

1.Did Hamlet really go crazy? How does this connect to his wavering between action and inaction? Why doesn’t Hamlet just kill Claudius? Is he just a man who needs assurance beyond a doubt of Claudius’ guilt? Is he unable to take action because the opportunity never presents itself? Is he simply a coward? What are Hamlet’s true motivations for even pursuing the murder of Claudius? Is it Fear? Revenge? Love? Loyalty/Obligation? I’m not entirely sure if Hamlet was necessarily crazy rather than experiencing a devastating tragedy at such a young age. His reaction to “play crazy” was that of a child’s; playing make-believe is very much a child’s way of dealing with such dramatic events. “To put an antic disposition on, That you, at such times seeing me, never shall, With arms encum’red thus, or this headshake, Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase” (lines 172-174) is how he tells Horatio and Marcellus his plan. In a very child-like game, he tells them he will play pretend and they mus...

Chapters 14-16 (Creature's POV) - Entry #4

After Frankenstein abandons the creature, other than our short encounter in the woods when Victor is returning from Geneva, we are not exposed to him again until Victor’s retreat to the mountains. In chapter eleven, the creature opens his tale saying he is not quite sure of the beginning of his being; his initial memories and sensations began with his retreat to the woods after Frankenstein’s apartment. Living off berries and nuts, the creature was confused but learning survival skills along the way, including how to set and maintain a fire. I found this lonely encounter may have been initially good for the creature because it allowed him to figure out his surroundings of this new life he was brought into; however, keeping in mind while he is the great, big creature, he is very much in the dark about life and society itself, and without Victor to help him, he was completely and utterly alone. Agreed - the reflection gives the reader time to know the character rather than meet who Vict...
