Cat got Treed? Call 911!

Last night I pretty much crashed around 10:30 and didn't wake up this morning until about 10 am. I got dressed quickly and grabbed some food, shoving it in my purse so I could go with my mom to her choir rehearsal. For some reason, I love going on Saturday mornings, sitting in the car and just reading. (:



We had to stop by Walmart to get a few things and oh man was I sore. But it's so worth it. When we got home, there was a man in our yard, someone we hadn't seen before. Well turns out, it was our neighbor two houses down and his cat was stuck in a tree in our backyard. Very movie like, right? Needless to say, nobody could climb the tree because it was all wet and the branches not sturdy enough to hold our weight. So what did we do? We called 911 to have firefighters bring their ladder to climb the tree to get the poor cat down. Yep. That happened.



So after all that nonsense, my mom checked the mail and I received an ADVANCED READER'S COPY OF Away We Go by Emil Ostrovski!! So that was exciting!



After dinner, I managed to finish Brooklyn by Colm Tolbin which I really enjoyed!<3

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...
