:)
Well I came on this blog tonight expecting to see a bunch of in depth blogs and different peoples thoughts on the book and stuff, like the brit lit kids blogs that we were showed... but luckily enought our blogs havent changed too much! Woo hoo! I guess they're a little better, we dont talk about our daily lives as much. I didnt read very many though. But its all good. I dont really get the ol' annotated bibliography thing but i no my lovely teacher will help me. The book is great. Its been real. Peace.
Nathan
I guess I fell a little bit behind in the reading, but I just finished the part about the funeral, and I became rather mad when I read that Nathan was baptizing the kids in the rain. I even wrote on a sticky note, "NATHAN FRICKEN BAPTIZES THE CHILDREN!" because I was so bothered by it. He just lost his own kid, and all he could do about it was baptize kids that have no idea what baptizing means?!
Senior Project Paper
Today, after I church I came home and was excited to research my topic. I came to realize though, that Its hard to research the problem of school substance abuse and education without finding out about people's kids dying for taking drugs /: I can tell that the researching part of the paper is going to be the hardest...so if you guys know of any tips or suggestions and narrowing my research to what i need it would be greatly appreciated. thanks. (:
Feeling pretty good!
I decided to form all of my questions today for my interview and my letters. I have not finished my annotated bibliography yet, but now that I have my ten questions formed, I can separate each question into a different category to research. If I do this, I will have way more then 10 sources, but like Mrs. Stariha said, I don't have to use them all. If anyone is stuck on finding sources, I would suggest forming your ten questions first, it helps a lot!
So much to do....
Well i've been doing a bit of research for our senior project.. so far it's going alright. I just hope i'm getting the right information. I've been trying to figure out who I should interview for my research paper.. my topic is drop outs so if anybody has any ideas feel free to let me know... I really enjoyed our discussion friday about the Poisonwood Bible even though i had not read that far at the time.. I can see how Nathan can resemble America because of how he is very self centered in his goal to spread Christianity among the Congolese. America is similar because we are only involved with the Congo for our own interest, which at the time was for rubber, copper, and diamonds.

Anxiety, Frustration, and Confusion
I've been sitting at my computer researching for my SP topic--Sequential Grade Strucutre--and I am having absolutely no luck. I made the folders to organize my research, but sadly I have found nothing to put in those folders....HELP!!!!!!!!!!
