Reflection 9/14/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we analyzed a poem. The poem was called Birches by Robert Frost. The lesson criteria is to find the meaning poem, be able to find figurative language, and determine the theme. We read the poem as a class and broke it down every few stanzas. In the poem they talked about the birch tree reminding them of their childhood. They had wish they didn’t waste their life, and if they could go back they’d do it by swinging on the birch tree. As we analyze more poems in class I get better and finding the meaning.

Reflection 9/20/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class, I did a bell ringer. In the bell ringer we were asked to define a somebody, a nobody, and who am I. We learned about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was born 1830 and later died 1886 only for her poems to be released after she passed. We read her poem “I’m Nobody! Who Are You?”. Where she explains you’re an outcast for being a nobody, and broadcasted for being a somebody. It gave me more of a perspective mostly about myself. I can make a connection like how I dress for me, but also dress so I don’t get laughed at. I really like the 2 poems we analyzed together so far and can’t wait to do more.

Reflection 2/16/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we continued the play, Fences. Today I got to read as Troy. It felt kind of funny playing him. I put on my man voice and was always cursing at someone. In th next part of the play, Troy tells Rose that he has gotten another woman pregnant. Rose was very upset and they got into a heated argument. 6 months later we find out Alberta has the baby and she dies after birth. It was a crazy scene. I enjoy reading this play so much.

Reflection 4/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we worked more on the sources. I presented my source today with Moses and Alyssa. After we finished going over the sources we read the prompt. The prompt asked us to choose a position on social networking. First we chose a position then began to write our paragraph. I said that it is acceptable because that is what most of the sources gave me information about. I can’t wait for the last day of school.
