October 4

 We wrote our essays on Fences and my thesis was “Cory’s athleticism is a gift and a curse”. I came to class about 20 minutes late because I overslept and had to finish up writing it while going to my next class. Once I got into the flow though it was going quite smoothly, especially because I did the brainstorming paper that Mr. Reese gave us. Since this is the ending to unit one, I would say overall it was a good unit and wasn’t too difficult. The book was good and it wasn’t too hard to understand the symbolism and conflicts in the story. The only thing that I found difficult in these 9 weeks are the blogs. It’s easy to put it off to do later because it’s one of the most simple things to do, but once I put it off until later, they all start piling up and I find it hard to remember what exactly we did. I’m going to try and start making a habit of doing my blog right after class while it’s still fresh in my head.
