A Lesson Before Dying reflection: day 4

-
Grant came to visit Mr Pichot as requested; during this time he had guests at his home. He was greeted by Ms. Inez where he waited a quite a while. He eventually talked to Edna Guidry who was all for him goingn to visit Jefferson her husband seemed to differ. The entire time grant was there he knew it was all a process of insulting him. They made him wait about two and a half hours not to mention he was hungry. I feel that Inez felt so deeply for him because she knew they had already made the decision not to send him to Jefferson. The sheriff saw no purpose in Grants visit and virtually felt that Jefferson couldn’t be taught anything. To see the men be insulted by Grant’s intelligence is eye opening due to the fact that they feel control over him. He given the ability to go visit him but it was greatly expressed to him that he was wasting his time. Grant also seemed to feel this way about the situation.

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.
