Hello Friends! :)

Today I woke up at 7:30 (although I wished I could sleep in till 9:00, it just wasn't happening). Then I ate breakfast with my mom and we got ready to leave at 10:30.

We first went to the Lutheran Church because she had some rehearsal, so I read in the car.

Then we went to Austin Peay and I went to Einstein's to grab some lunch (Hummus Veg Out) and continue reading An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. I managed to finish it, it was amazing!! :)

We stopped by the library so I could return the book and then we went home.

Last night, my dad had taken my brother out to get him some clothes as christmas presents so he did the same for me tonight. We went to the mall and I ended up betting 4 pairs of heels, 1 pair of converse, 1 pair of boots, 3 dresses, 1 jumper, and 2 necklaces! :) It was pretty awesome.

We got a bit hungry so then we stopped by Aunt Anne's for some pretzels.

We also managed to go to Pier 1 Imports to get some gifts for my mom.

After that big excursion, we came back home, ate dinner, and I continued reading.(:

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...
