Today, we read a simple cultural poem called The Red Wheelbarrow. I liked this poem because it was simple and short, while also providing a deep message. I learned that the small stuff in life is often overlooked, shown in the poem being 4 stanzas about a red wheelbarrow. It taught me that the simple stuff in life can have deep meanings and uses for someone, even if you don't see it that way. Today, I feel good. I have practice after school, but I don't feel tired today.
An object that holds a lot of value to me is my Legos. They were gifted or bought during significant points in my life, building them after each event. They remind me of the good times/memories every time I look at them, thinking of each block as building the memory, or the Lego set in this case. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We read 3 chapters today, learning about Sofia's return to the story and her eventual incarceration due to her beliefs and nature. It was interesting to see the reminder of the consequences the characters can face, bringing down such a strong-willed character like Sofia. It also showed us why Celie and Squeak's, Harpo's girlfriend, obedience is beneficial to them in some way. Today, I feel tired. I pulled an all-nighter and still have to go to a practice and then teach 8th graders and drop people off afterwards. I know the sleep is going to be good later tonight.
