This morning my mom and I went to Austin Peay around 11 since she had a lesson at 11:30.

I went to the Marks, returned my college textbooks,  and ran some errands before going to the UC to wait for my mom to go to Senior Seminar. Today we had a financial aid guest speaker, so parents were invited. So we sat in the room for over an hour, listening to a lady reiterate a lot of the information we've been told before but that's okay.

Then I went to the library with Heather and Brittany. For both my classes, we were meeting in the library but it was pretty much independent study for English and then Government we just had to turn in our letter to a local official and we were dismissed.

David picked up Heather and I from Austin Peay and brought me home (which was nice) and I spent the rest of my afternoon watching Gossip Girl. It's pretty addicting.

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?

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...
