Hey friendly friends.

This morning I had Algebra at 8 AM but my dad brought me to school because my mom had to go to work. Class was fine, we started a new unit and yeah, it was easy.

Then I had my break with Emilia, Gabby, and Heather so that was cool. I spent my time doing my Algebra homework and taking Psychology notes but then when I got to class, my professor wasn't there so I went back to Einstein's to meet with Heather where we hanged out until Physics at 12:45.

In class, we reviewed from before fall break which seems like YEARS ago. I was pretty lost during class.

Then Heather walked with me to the Music Building and we hung out until my cello lesson at 3:15, which went a lot better than I thought it would honestly.

At 6:00 I had a Mayor's Youth Council Meeting, which went alright. We're trying to come up with topics about our main service project or community project. Bullying and safe driving were two ideas thrown out.

Afterwards, Claire brought me to Clarksville's Woman's Club where my mom was having a meeting so I waited in the car until she was done.

Oh, and I got accepted to The King's College in New York City! So that was cool. :)

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...
