Tired

So yesterday I was in ludington from 1-7 and by the time I got home i was exhausted...we went to see Rio :) oh and btw it wasn't all that great, cute but the funniest parts were the ones they showed in commercials. Any who I told myself "no worries I'll just read tomorrow" then when tomorrow got here I realized that my brain was fried. Let's hope it can find some sanity before the day is over.

Untitled

I think that Frankenstein is the best book we have read so far in either of the Brit Lit classes. For one, its the first story besides Gullievers Travels that I had heard of. Second Frankenstein is a classic horror story and is decently understandable. I'm also curious to see whats hidden in the story when we look at in more depth in class

Pygmalion

So I know we're going to read Pygmalion sometime towards the end of this class. The Central Park Players at the Grand Haven Community Center are performing Pygmalion on April 22-24 and 28-30 at 8pm. Just letting you guys know! :)

Tough Read

So I think that I am going to like this book. Besides the fact that it is hard to understand a lot of the time, the plot sounds pretty... interesting. I really hope we can spend some time talking about it in class so that I can better understand what I read, and so that we can discover some of the "Deeper messages" that I always seem to overlook. haha But anyways, I am excited for it.

I Frankin' Love it so Far.

So I am loving Frankenstien! I don't find boring and difficult to read like I've heard people complain about in the past. I think I may actually read ahead. Two chapters flew by and it will be way to easy to get behind once things start getting busy this week. I love reading a novel in class again. You have so much more time to connect with characters and bigger plot lines can develope better in a novel opposed to a short story or poem. Not that I don't love poems and short stories. A change of pace is just nice!

Fingers Crossed

So far I am liking the romantic age.

I like the free writes we've been doing with the pictures and stuff.

And I'm liking Frankenstein so far.

And I'm pretty proud of myself for keeping up in class.

I think things are starting to get easier now that we're moving closer to the present.

I think the literature is becoming more understandable and everyone is pretty comfortable with the standards and expectations of the class.

Lets keep our fingers crossed that things will continue to get better.

Frankenstein

Okay, so I think I missed a really fun day on friday? Writing letters sounds like a lot of fun...especially to DJ. Hah, I heard all about Kaitlin's letter :) Anyway, so I'm reading Frankenstein now and I'm actually enjoying it! I heard all these awful things about it, how it's sooo boring, slow, too wordy, etc. But I like it so far! Granted, I'm only on the 2nd chapter but I find it intriguing. Does anyone know how far we are supposed to read this weekend??
