A Lesson Before Dying reflection : day 12

Grant felt an ease of mind and tackled his visit with Jefferson head on. This is definitely from the seasonal happenings and Vivian’s company. He spoke with Paul, the security guard and learned much of what goes on at the jail and Jefferson’s actions. During this point I feel that Grants words may have taken some point into Jefferson. After a long time of him being disrespectful to Grant and he gets angry. He states his only reason for keeping the visits is because of Vivian. After he is on his way out the sheriff noted the plans of Ms.Emma, Tante Lou, and the reverend for the next visit to jefferson. I feel there may be a different atmosphere not due to a new setting but because of Grant’s words. Throughout all this the sheriff and Grants conscience both agree that there is not progress being made.

Into the unknown

Mr. Rease was finally back in class today. We begin with listing tens songs that have a great effect on us or out memories. I was very happy about this because I absolutely love music and showing others what I like. Afterwards the entire class got to  show a song and and express how we feel about it. Mr. Rease also did this and I enjoy when he tells us about himself and his life. We also dove into a new poem today I missed reading them. All the kinds he presents to us are always intriguing and pushing us to make us think deeper which is something I need to work on.

My inner poet

-
We started class with begging given 3 different pieces of paper. All of them were different and I already had a bad feeling. One was a poem one was questions and another was a project! We have been assigned to act out a Maya Angelou poem, write a one page paper about it and do a poster. The hardest part of this for me will define fly be memorizing and acting out the poem. It puts me out of my comfort zone and I am scared I will stumble on my words. The project will be due in about two weeks I hope everything goes well.

Same old same old

Just as we have been lately we went over more poems. Today was different because they were not only Maya Angelou but also Langston Hughes. The poems were interesting because they were the opposite of one another. One was mother to son and the other was son to mother. That is an interesting top pic overall because mother and son relationships tend to be problematic in society. I really have been enjoying the analysis of poems very much especially what we did today. Class ended with us answering a few questions and watching videos of poetry out loud. This is to prepare us for our upcoming presentations next week of our own poems.
