Another blog for the weekend

So.. how about that ride in.. i guess thats why they call it sin city...haha(hangover). Anyways.. the quiz friday was much easier than the last one. I definitely figured out how to manage my time wisely on the last one. For some reason im actually kind of excited to do the discussions at the library.. i dont know why. Itll be a good expirience and help get rid of any stage fright. I'm not sure what we were suppose to read from PWB over the weekend so if anyone knows let me know.

The Life of Leah

In the beginning of our Poisonwood Bible discussions when we were broken into four groups, I was in the "Leah" group because I thought I was most like her. I then was moved to the "Ruth May" group to help even out the groups more. No matter what I still come back to Leah and find her my most favorite character (despite Rachel's many funny and unbelievable comments throughout her chapters). I just love how Leah is now a very mature, grown woman who is all about her family. Even when compared to her mom, she is a far better care-giver. She never once thinks of herself and loves her children and husband, Anatole, very much. Africa is her home now. Although she originated from America and really wanted nothing to do with the Congo in the first place, she grew to love it and the people that lived there. I like how she basically hates the fact that her skin is white because she doesn't want to be compared to the other whites (American's in particular). Because of how the American's treat the African's, she longs to help her new family and home overcome the disasters they all have and will experience.

I have been loving life lately. My brother turned 21 today [on Easter Sunday!] and I totally realized that I'm so young [only 17] but I'm growing up so fast. Random, but whatever.

Anyway, I woke up this morning around 8 because my dog would not stop barking! And then I got three text messages from my friends all saying "Happy Easter!" and then I started freaking out, because I thought I had to have something done for College English on Monday. I texted three people from the class and only one of them knew what was happening Monday. We're talking about the Service Project that we're doing as a class for our Senior Projects! I have been thinking out different ideas all throughout today. None of them are particularly great, but I will spit them out in class if I remember to.

I have been super busy all weekend, so I have not read anything past Exodus. And that really disappoints me because I wanted to have it all read by Monday.

Something Interesting to Post About?

So that quiz we just took really broke my juevos!!!! It was quite difficult i though, but whatever!! So im going to need help with my rough draft so any takers want to help me or.....?! this is a really lame post!

ITS THE WEEKEND!!

But not for much longer. Where do the two days go? Of course for me they've been absolutly packed!! On to the things englishy in nature. Im really sad that PWB is almost over...I've really enjoyed this book! Its been fun to be able to dig into things and notice how much thought and planning Kingsolver must have put in to make all the symbolism work. It amazes me! I know i would've just written the book and if something worked out then yay! The only thing that makes ending this book a little less painful is that next we get to read The Color Purple! I've heard from bunches of people that its a really good book! I'm excited to see if it ties in with the reacurring theme of government control! Oh yeah...HAPPY EASTER!!

Hello college english class. How is your Easter going? I hope that everyone is getting a lot done this weekend!

We are nearing the end of Poisonwood Bible! Im not gunna lie, I can't wait to start a new book. Its not that I don't like Poisonwood Bible but its starting to get a little old. I think its because this book is longer then the other ones we have read so far.

I was reading over the weekend and I came across a quote by Leah and I thought I would share it.

"I long to wake up, and then I do. I wake up in love, and work my skin to darkness under the equatorial sun. I look at my four boys, who are the colors of silt, loam, dust, and clay, an infinite palette for children of their own, and I understand that time erases whiteness altogether." (526)

This is such a powerful quote that can be taken many different ways. This quote shows how much Leah hates the color of her skin because of what is associated in the Congo with the whites. Leah works her self hard to try to make up for being white. I just think that Kingsolver writes this beutifully and wanted to share it

RACHEL PRICE

I absolutly love rachel price! nothing is ever her fault ugh i wanna wack a hoe! like seriouslu G "i don't blame myslef for any of those things that happen in africa, even ruth may'! im gunna kill the *&%*^%%(&*&()&^R**!!! any who this paper is hard ive started over and im very disintersested already.
