Hey guys! This morning was a pretty chill morning since I didn't have to be at Austin Peay until 11:30 for a Key Club meeting that only lasted like 15 minutes.
Then I had Senior Seminar where we registered for the College Fair and then were given a homework assignment.
For English, we started studying Old English and read a few Old English and Middle English pieces which was very interesting.
In Government, we had two powerpoint slides for notes.
After class, Emilia, Channel and I went to Einstein's to hang out since we don't really get to anymore. So that was nice :) While walking with Emilia back to her car, we some 3 of the Austin Peay cats running around and ahhhh they were so cute!! <3
Anyway, at 6:00 my mom was done with lessons so we went home. My dad had some guests over so I spent most of the night in my room, but 3 of my amazing books came in and my mom had gotten me some Greek food while she was on post so that's what I ate for dinner. :)

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?

What are Hamlet’s true motivations for even pursuing the murder of Claudius? Is it Fear? Revenge? Love? Loyalty/Obligation?

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...
