My plans actually went through today!

This past week I made 5 separate plans with 5 different people/groups of people and all of them got canceled, moved or postponed.

It was sort of upsetting but it gave me more time with my books and watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix, so I guess that's the positive in all this.

Anyway, today I hung out with my best friend Caitlyn at Miss Lucille's which was nice because I don't get to see her often. I've known her since 8th grade and we both went to Rossview until I transferred to Middle College which made it harder to hang out. We actually met riding the bus in 8th grade and sat with each other every year. By Junior year though, Caitlyn got her license and since we live in the same neighborhood she drove me. So it was nice to catch up with her this afternoon.

Then my mom and I went to Nashville around 2.
We first went to the Provence Cafe where I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte, she got a plain Latte, and we shared macaroons.
Next, we dropped into the cute book shop, BookManBookWoman!
I ended up buying four books: The Oxford Book of Literary Anecdotes Edited by James Sutherland, Is Heathcliff A Murderer?/Can Jane Eyre Be Happy? by John Sutherland, What Jane Austen ATE and Charles Dickens KNEW by Daniel Pool, and Victorian Book Illustration by Morna Daniels.
The last stop was a bohemian-type store, Pangea where I bought 3 buttons and a cute notebook.
After our two and a half hours in Nashville, both having headaches and tired, we decided to come home.

Overall, it was a splendid day! <33

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...
