I had a dream once that I had made a secret code for something I only knew about. When I woke up, I didn't remember anything about the dream, just knowing that I had a dream that day. A couple weeks later, I go back into the dream and use the secret code I had made in the prior dream, making me think that it was something real since it came back to mind in my dream. But really, it was just another dream that somehow connected to a prior one. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We learned about the downward spiral of Harpo and Sofia's relationship, eventually leading to Sofia leaving at the end with their children. We also learn that Celie may have attraction towards Shug Avery, becoming more apparent when talking to Sofia about their relationships. I like how we learn more and more about the internal conflicts characters have every letter, with many experiencing changes from when we were first introduced to them. Today, I feel okay. I'm just ready to go home and be with my cat.
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.
