Winter is Coming

Hello friends.

This morning for some strange reason I woke up at 7:15 and came downstairs to find that my mom was still home and that SNOW HAD FALL! Today marks the first snowfall for winter 2015-2016! It was pretty.



My morning was spent watching YouTube videos and then organizing my life a little bit, looking into my planner and scheduling my week. Mom came home around noon so we all decided to eat lunch then.



After lunch, mom and I sat down to complete the FAFSA! It was pretty stressful. It took us almost two hours just to figure out exactly how to do it. Then I did the dishes, some laundry, and took a shower. Since Heather and I have been going to Yoga this last week and plan to continue, I decided to paint my nails. (: It made me really happy because I haven't painted my nails in a while.


Side note, today makers one year of Alex's going away party! :(

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?

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...
