Another Free Day

   Today we did nothing at all in class.

A Day Out

   Today, we didn't have class. Mr. Reese instructed for us to go to the library because Auburn University wanted to speak with us seniors about joining that college.

Boy vs Man

   Today, we were told to make a T-chart on the differences between a boy and a man. And there were a lot of things that I learned to day, one being that you don't have to like your loved ones, just be there to help and better their lives. We began to read the story and it turns out that Troy could possibly be cheating on Rose with a girl named Alberta, even though he has been going to a club known as Taylors a fee times. Throughout the rest of the scenes that we went over, Troy nags Cory about taking his responsibilites and doing what's needed first then to do what he wants if it's possible, but Cory doesn'twant to listen to that he is more in a rush to do things. Troy and Bono then go on in the next scene and Troy announces his promotion to being a driver, but with no license. He and Bono then go on to talk about their horrible fathers.

Intro to "Fences" (late ~ 10/07/2019)

    Today in AP we we introduced to this play known as Fences by August Wilson. Before we began reading, Mr. Reese asked us to give the literal and metaphorical meaning of a fence, which had some good answers to it. Once we did that he asked us questions about our own lives like "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?", and things of that sort. Me. Reese then gave a brief summary of the author himself. The story begins with the main characters Troy, Bono, and Rose. Troy seems to be very rude but always wants to be right about situations, Bono is what everyone these days know has a "yes man", and Rose seems to be very kind.

Insanity at its best!

    Today in class, we began to read a diary written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman called The Yellow Wallpaper. Before we began reading Mr.Reese asked why do people put up wallpaper our answers were the following: they're lazy, to decorate, and to cover up a mess. Once we began reading it turned out to be okay up until the 4th entry, the narrator began to imagine a figure moving under the wallpaper. This narrator is going postpartum depression, and in this case it gets worse due to the fact that her husband takes her as a joke.The class did in deed find this crazy because of how random this part just came up along with in the few following entries when the narrator began to go crazy when she noticed her husband, John, and  nanny, Mary, sometimes stared at the wall as well. We took notes on all that we read and make a chart for the 4 themes that are found in the book: mental illness, gender roles and domestic life, outward appearance vs. inner life, and self-expression, miscommunication, and misunderstanding

DIY Story

    Today in Reese's class, he assigned the class to make up our own story, but he introduced a new method to us which made writing it much more easier that how we once did it before. The setting and characters don't make sense and the way it's put together is really funny, suck as the status of some characters in the story. Once we were done setting up everything we needed, we had to use those things to create an idea of the story on our own. I didn't get to finish mine but I'll still publish it. The story revolves around an Asian woman by the name of Rose Lee who has been divorced, but I made my story be around how she met her now ex husband, basically a back story. I didn't get to finish but I've been instructed to publish my part.

    The nail shop in Costco was giving the first 30 women free pedicures since it was Mother's Day. Rose Lee heard about the news the day before, got her mother and Susan ( Her BFF), and left to the shop before it even opened. Once they arrived, being the first 3 to arrive, they stood at the enterancebof the shop awaiting anxiously. A woman and was is assumed to be her husband soon join the line behind them, and at first Rose doesn't pay them any mind, but out of curiosity she just so happens to turn around and locks eyes with the husband, who's VERY attractive in her eyes and vice versa. The woman noticed that Rose had been staring at her husband for a tad bit too long, this caused her blood to boil with rage.

Who killed Duncan???

   Today we read some of act 2 in Macbeth. Comes to find out Macbeth and his lady took part in the murder of King Duncan. Once we finished reading, Mr.Reese instructed for us to do an investigation on the murder of Duncan and figure out how no one suspect that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth did indeed murder him. We were also told to write 5 quotes from act 2 scenes 1-4.
