THE BLOG

I had never done a blog before so i was kind of unsure when you first said we were going to do a blog but i thought if was fun when we started doing it. being able to type is way better than having to write it all out like if we were doing a journal. We always did journals in high school and no one really liked them so this was much better!

Workshop

I didn't like what we did in class on tuesday, it was the same as what we did before when we were just getting feedback on our papers. I thought that we were actually going to have time to work on our papers in class instead we were reading other peoples papers, yes the feedback is nice but also the feedback we get from other students isnt always that helpful and would be more beneficial if we just had time to work on the papers.

Thankgiving!

I cannot wait for thanksgiving break! Me and my family are very close, and on thanksgiving we dont meet with other relatives its just my mom dad brother and sister. Most of our relatives live far away and we only see them for christmas, but i like that its only my family on thanksgiving. I do most of the cooking on thankgiving, my mom help and still makes sure that i do everything right but she has taught my well and now that is my job, my little sister like to try and help too. Thanksgiving morning we always make cinnemon rolls and watch the maci day parade, my mom has always wanted to go to it, i hope someday she gets too. Then we start making the food and my dad and my brother put the christmas lights on the roof, we eat at about 2 every year then me and my brother always get to do the wish bone, and my sister gets upset every year because she doesnt get too and my mom feels bad for her but its just mine and my brothers thing. Then later that night we put up the christmas tree and watch movies.. i love thanksgiving!

Outline

The outline was a lot of help in writing the literary analysis. By having the outline we knew what we were supposed to have in our paper and get it organized so it was a good way to make sure we included everything and once we got the outline finised we pretty much had our whole paper written just needed to type it up and add words so i am very glad that you made the outline for us.

THESIS

Richard Connell's, The Most Dangerous Game suggests life as being a game and we can end up in someone elses game if we go on the wrong path.

critical reading

When I re-read the stories critically I got a lot more out of them. Yes it was more time consuming but thats the way we need to start reading, we need to set enough time aside so we can do it the right way the first time and not have to go back and re do it. I picked out a lot more symbols but some were still hard to interperet. I think that it is something you will get better at the more you do and like anything you need to practice/ take notes/ highlight to get better at it and be able to read between the lines.

Symbols

A White Heron:
Cow,
Gun, symbol of power
White , purity
Heron, symbol of being unique
Tree, symbol for the mans body
the toad, symbolizes a distraction. acting like she wasnt listening so she would have to speck about the heron

The Yellow Wallpaper:
Wallpaper
her writing- freedom
barred windows- trapped
Bed stuck on the floor- shes not moving
color yellow- bight look on life
