Sonnet 18


Today we read a sonnet by Shakespeare. We also learned about rhyme scheme and stressed and unstressed words. The sonnet that we read was very good and had a deep meaning of beauty and life.

Understanding Themes and writing concepts

Today we were placed in groups so that we could do an activity on the novel “The Color Purple”. The activity was to write down themes, evidence, and claims portraying to the topic. This activity was actually helpful because it breaks down the themes and topics of the novel. It also helped because each one of us had to view others opinions and think outside of the box.

Good day

Today was a good day in AP literature. My teacher was back from his trip with his wife. Today we talked about how songs are important. Also how songs set the mood for certain situations of ones life.  We wrote down ten songs that are meaningful to us. My first song was Maxwell-A woman’s work. I chose that song because everytime I hear it I think about my favorite movie Love and Basketball. I really enjoyed what we did today. We also read a poem and analyzed it. It was a good poem not difficult to understand. All in all I had a great day in class.
