Piper's and my morning classes (Ballet and Rehearsal) went pretty well, sort of the usual as we have been doing.

BUTTTT....

After lunch....

WE LEFT FOR NASHVILLE!<3

Our first excursion was to the Frist Center for the Arts, which was so awesome. The tour began upstairs in the craft center where they had fun activites we could do such as watercolor painting, animating films with toys and screens, drawing, etc. Then we went downstairs to the actual Italian Fashion exhibit which was so beautiful and unique. I really enjoyed it! While visiting the gift shop, Illy pointed out a Jane Austen mug and I mean I couldn't just leave it sooooo yes I bought it<3 ha.

We ate dinner at Puckets Groceries which was such good southern food. I sat near Piper, Illy, Austin, and Kyle so we had a lot of conversation and funny moments (of course).

Finally, we went to the Nashville Symphony (Star Trek 2009 movie version) and it was phenomenal. Literally such good music and great movie, I loved it a lot!
On the car ride back (Illy, Kyle, Austin, Grace, Rei, Hailey and I were in the same van) we talked about books and such which was great<3

I love these people already.

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...
