Confused

So far my paper is coming along pretty well, which I am very happy about. I am confused on whether we are going to have a quiz tomorrow or not...or if we are going to do quote circles tomorrow? well I guess we will see. I cant wait for spring break! just about one more week :)

ice day...

soo i know we were supposed to have a quiz on book 1 tomorrow, and
we were supposed to review today in the quote circle. Does anybody
know if everything is getting pushed back a day or we have a test
tomorrow regardless of the snow day?

Im working on my paper!

Last night I promised myself that if there was a snow day I would wake up and start working on my paper. The surprising thing is, I actually did! I have to say it is going ok, don't get me wrong it is definitely a rough draft, but it is coming together. I am taking a break now, to get away from it and clear my head. This snow day was perfect because otherwise I am not sure when I would have been able to write the paper!

LUKE SMITH!!

This is what I was talking about.  You should probably write this down in your notes.

Orleanna (mom)
isolated,  resigned,  figurative/metaphorical language,  powerful imagery/descriptions  She keeps going back and forth from past to present narritive, she is looking back/reflecting about her life, she speaks very clear because she remembers it so well, she can't forget it because her memories are haunting her, but we don't know why (yet).

Rachel (oldest)
whiney, sarcastic=tone, descriptive on objects, not ideas or beliefs, ridicules prayer and father as a statment of her discontent, very materialistic, wants to go back because she "needs" her old life style, she uses slang (geez of man!) and this shows she is not the smartest of the sisters, modern equivilant= girl on jersy shore.

Leah (thing 1)
Logos, logic not emotion, sees straight in front of her, not the big picture, her life is about the advernture (actions she does) not the events that make her story, calm tone, some what oblivious to nature/life,  ALLUSION= bible stories, does what dad says because it is "right", factual, almost no metaphors.
act not think

Adah (thing 2)
Saterical, reads books backwards (looks at every angle of life), never speaks, thinks things through rather then act, quietest but smartest, her chapters=no diologue, talks about herself in the 3rd person, an outsider looking in,  ALLUSION=fictional stories (jeckel hyde), she is not living her life, she is practicly living in her own fantasy world. (mute world of warcraft player who is actually smart...)

Ruth-May (youngest)
thoughts are all over the place, young, speaks of bible, literal mind set, not figuerative, dictation=few words,   aphroism=literal definitions of bible, assume everything, "allways right", dress=girl, toy=thief, black=damned... etc.,  either right or wrong, never maybe or sway, innocent, she does not engage in dialogue, she listens and repeats (like a parrot)

Nathan (dad)
does not have his chapters, ironic because bible is made of chapters by men, now women make this "poisen wood bible", allways right, family centers around him, he has god-like authority, like god=vengful--punisher--fear envoker--jelous,  egotistical, detached god (not down to earth with family), practicly went crazy when he could not have his way with baptism because he is used to having his way (bratty kid).

There you go Luke.  Thats what you missed!  And don't expect me to do this all the time!  I guess this can be applied to all the AYF'ers, and all the slakers who can can read this then copy and paste it on thier notes...

Old Post

ok this is an old post but i guess i dont know what to say. I will start off by saying that the poision wood bible is a pretty good book. Lastly i need help with my sticken paper dough draft i need HELP!!!!

College English Part B

For some reason I am able to post comments through my iPod, but am unable to blog. Just thought I would start out by saying this because I just thought it was really weird that I couldn't. :) Anwho, I don't have much else to say so far besides the fact that I am in that nervous state again that I was in when we first started College English class during our first weeks in part A. I really hope I will be able to keep up with assignments and the reading of chapters so I won't fall behind in class and understanding. I'm hoping this first paper will go well, and hope that I will receive great advice after my rough draft is completed. I'm looking forward to what this last trimester holds for us seniors, and I hope that it will ready me for college just as much the past trimesters has.

Busy.. & Excited!

So when we were first assigned the rhetorical analysis paper I was pessemistic. But after we did a few examples in class I got excited about this paper. I am responding to the first prompt about the nerds. Mainly because I identify with it. I have my introduction done, but I'm kind of lost on where to go from that. I've had a busy weekend. Friday I read The Poisonwood Bible and started my paper. Saturday I went to my cousin's baby shower, and today I finished reading our assigned pages from the book.
