We spent our time today going over relations to 9/11. Seeing different perspective on America and Americans itself opened my eyes to the perceptions of  our country.

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.
