Week 1 Class instructions
The main stuff we learned this week are what happen in class. The way these connect is because that's the stuff that happens in the class. The important stuff is the we read every other day, and write on the days in between. On Wednesday and Friday we read, and on Thursday we wrote. My participation for the week was excellent except for on Monday. My understanding of everything this week is great. I need to work on my reading and writing.
Week 2 Witches
The stuff we learned about was the Salem witch trials. We also worked on our free write, and also some SSR. For the Salem witch trials, we watched The Crucible, its about what the Salem witch trials are about and how everything was handled. So far i really like The Crucible, and its starting to get me to like to read, and another book that is really good is Dante's Inferno. It's about his journey through the nine circles of hell to save his wife Beatrice who was killed by Lucifer to have her become the queen of hell, and the free write is somewhat getting me to like writing a little bit more.
Week 3
This week was part 2 of the crucible. My participation in the class this week was excellent. I did everything i was supposed to do except for the one part where i turned in my 2 column notes in a day late. My understandings of everything is going good, but could be better. The 2 column notes i sorta have trouble with, but besides that, everything is going good. The way we came to understand everything from the week was coming together in our small groups and discussing each thing.
Week 5
This week we finished part 3 of the crucible and i thought it was really good because there was a twist and john forgot the commandment that he committed and it was adultery which he also admitted to in court and then we started watching and finished part 4 and i didn't think john would want to die so i thought he would give a false confession in court and sign his name to keep from hanging, but instead he chose to die and tell the truth which the court thought was a lie. so i thought that was interesting. i think the crucible is really good and interesting.
Week 6
This week i learned that people monsters and accuse their neighbors of every possible thing. some people may think the real monsters are the aliens when really the real monsters are the people because instead of helping eachother they all accuse eachother and a valuable life lesson is to help your friends and neighbors when something goes wrong instead of blaming them for it.
Week 8: Alienation and Isolation
Some of the main ideas we learned this week were how people can go mad from being alone and being alienated or isolated. Ways we came up to learn the ideas were we worked in a group and each came up with questions and my question was "how do people deal with being alone and ignored.". My participation was decent but not as good as it could have been.
Week 9
I learned this week how Huck, and Jim are square pegs in a round hole. They don't fit with society because they are all different from society's expectations. I learned that i prefer when someone is reading The adventures of Huckleberry Finn to me, because it helps me understand easier how the characters are talking to each other, and also how they interact with each other.
Week 10
This week i learned about how much i prefer the audiobook than reading it myself. The audiobook goes at a perfect pace for me and is fairly easy.
