Happy Halloween

 Today in AP we read two of Sylvia Plath's poems one called Lady Lazarus and the other is called Daddy. Lady Lazarus was very complex I could hardly understand it but what I could clearly see was that the speaker feels as if everyone is the enemy. Also an urban legend told to the class by Mr. Reese was that by reading this poem it brings back Sylvia Plath. Being that it's also Halloween everyone was in shock yet intriegued by that and I might look into that. The next poem, Daddy, shows all of her anger towards her father who passed when she was only 8. The speaker feels as though he father could have prevented his sudden death if he went to a doctore for treatment. Throughout the poem, she compares him to the Nazi and devil, both holding a negative feeling and description. She feels as if her father ripped her own life away when he died. Class wasn't a lot of work today but tomorrow we have an essay to write.
