Today was a reading day. We read letters 20-22 of the Color Purple. We also started an assignment on Illuminate. We basically worked on our skill to develop themes based on each letter.
Came back to school today. I felt a little better, and my parents told me that if I didn't go to school then I can't go to the football game, so I took some cough medicine and went to school. I spent most of my day talking to my friends about our other classes and making an attempt to catch up. It seems like missing one day of school on an accelerated and AP schedule is like missing an entire week. I was fighting back sleep the entire class, but managed to finish the work and go to the football game, so everything worked out in my favor in the end.
Today we were given the task to write a found poem. This pretty much means that we find quotes from the text, The Color Purple, and use the quotes to create a cohesive poem. Mr. Rease also gave us a quick run down about what the rest of the semester will look like.
Today class was cut short. We read the poem Mother to Son by Langston Hughes. It was about getting life advice from your mom. To me, the poem was really good because it shows that life isn't going to be easy, but you can't give up or live your life in vain.
