English Is Such A Fascinating Class

I know I said I would post something for yesterday, but as you may know, I did not. I always come up with ideas of what to write about but then when I sit down I am either to lazy to write or can't think of anything at the given time. ugh I'm so confused! I am all the time, I have a list of drafts I've started and never followed through with, but I don't feel like looking through it right now...why am I so lazy? I'm not usually this lazy, wait, just give me sometime and I'll think of something to write and I'm sure it will be better then that stupid ring story I posted a couple of weeks ago..........

I'll talk about my English class because I just love it so much. We just started reading "The Prince" I'm not sure what to expect of it just yet, but either way I'm sure I will like discussing it in class. We just finished Oedipus which was interesting, but not my favorite thing to read, don't get me wrong though, it wasn't bad. Last Thursday I think it was my teacher had us all sit down in a circle around her while she read us the book, "Love You Forever." It seems like a really sweet book about a little boy and his mom, but we read it through an Oedipus lens and by the end of it we all wanted to throw up (sorry I couldn't think of anything more creative then "throw up" at the moment). If you don't know what the Oedipus theory is, well I'm not sure what to tell you. I wouldn't recommend looking it up it may gross you out, but I'm not going to tell you because I just don't want to. But the next time you read "Love You Forever" don't just think it's some cute book about a boy and his mom.

Aside from reading that we have also gone into other interesting topics. Tonight I'm going to try to go to the craft store so I can make a project on the allegory of "The Cave." This I would recommend you looking up. It is pretty interesting. My project is to think of a current scenario that is an example of "The Cave" and I have a really good idea. I am into lots of art stuff so I'm going to go all out on this because all it is supposed to be a visual that I have to explain to the class. I always end up taking lots of time to make projects though, just ask my art teachers, so wish me luck on finishing this in a week.

In the very, very beginning of the year (I know that wasn't very long ago) we watched this video that really made you rethink America. Maybe I'll post it, I'm not sure yet, but it gets you thinking, and that's what I love about it. Maybe that's why I like my current events class so much too?

I will try to write more and more through out the week, maybe if I have time tonight I'll make another post, who knows? I'm sort of in the writing spirit!
