The Saga Continues

No school today. And actually it felt beautiful to sleep in until 9:30 am!<333



I came down and ate breakfast with mom(: I prepared us some fruit salads and ate a bagel. We sat and chit-chatted until about 11 and then we decided to get some things done. I sat down and logged onto my D2L to find that my Stats professor posted two sets of notes, emailed us on D2L, updated D2L, and suggested we work on our first two homework assignments (so I had to create an online account where our assignments will be posted). That in itself took forever to do. 



At 3:30, I asked my Dad who had just come home from work and if we could run to the Commissary to grab some fruits and vegetables since we're running low, so we left at four pm. Going shopping with him was interesting... because he's more of browser while I'm more of stick-to-the-list type of person... so it was frustrating for both of us (to say the least). 



We got home around 6:00, I put the groceries away and my mom's students arrived for their piano lesson. Alexander and my dad left to go to the Y to work out, so after my mom's lessons, her and I made some dinner. She made Chicken and rice for them and I prepared some sushi for myself (:



In the mail came an Invitation for a membership in the National Society of High School Scholars!! The membership fee is a little high but we'll see. Still proud. (:

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...
