Brainstorming prompt

Today we finished the play Macbeth and our instructor gave us a prompt to choose from through the years 19..-2019. We separated into groups and my group chose year 2005. The prompt was making a connection to characters out of any play or novel hat we chose from. The play that we chose was Macbeth and we had to brainstorm the prompt to get ready to write a thesis statement and essay. The process of brainstorming isn’t all that bad. It’s actually very helpful depending on if you know the information or not or depending on if you understand the prompt it self. I learned that you can’t brainstorm if you don’t know anything about the piece of work you choose. Brainstorming the prompt also helped be think beyond just analyzing one part of the play, instead it helps you connect parts of the play that you need to create your thesis statement and essay as well as finding evidence.

What a powerful poem!

What a powerful poem!   Today’s lesson was on a poem called I Felt a Funeral in My Brain by Emily Dickinson. I really loved the poem because of its complexity and because it is very powerful. The theme of this poem is that silence can be very powerful. With that being said this poem taught me life lessons as well. I tried my best to analyze the poem on my own and I got very far but with the help of my teacher and classmates I understood it even more. I’m glad that my teacher introduced this author and this specific poem to me because I really enjoyed reading and analyzing it.

Reflection A Lesson Before Dying: Ch.1-3

Chapter 1 left me yearning to see what was going to happen next because I thought Jefferson’s attomey story was convincing, but the court still found Jefferson guilty for the murder of Alcee Grope. Chapter 2 introduced Grant, the narrator, who is also Tante Lou’s nephew. I didn’t like that Tante Lou made Grant go and talk to Henri pichot against his will not knowing Louis Rougon would accuse him of making Miss Emma and Tante Lou come and talk to Henri about Jefferson. From reading chapter 3 I implied that the lesson of the book would be being acknowledge for what you truly are. In Jefferson’s case a man.

Mirror

Today we read a poem called “Mirror” by Sylvia Plath. The poem is about self perception and disbelief.  After we got done reading the poem my instructor gave us an assignment. The assignment was to look in our camera and write down what we see in our reflection. Here’s what I wrote.   When I look in the mirror I see a beautiful black Queen with pretty succulent lips and a nice smile. I see a hound lady who doesn’t takes any mess from anyone, a young lady who will soon be powerful and beyond successful in everything that she does. I see a fierce young lady who has no flaws.
