Blog of September 16th

 Today in class we had 6 discussion questions about the title of the play we are about to read called “FENCES “. We discussed what it means to have physical and metaphorical fences in one’s life. The play we are about to read it directed in the 1950s, and during those times I believe that African Americans had a hard life and had many fences. They were faced with identify, lack of education, segregation, lack of job opportunities, financial unstable. Throughout these struggles African Americans had no choice but to build metaphorical fences such as putting a shield up for protection, keeping others out, being cautious on who they can trust and more. I learned a lot already about this play just by annotating the title. Overall today, school was pretty good, it went by pretty fast so that’s good. My classes were good and the overall mood of today was good.

The problems are often really hard to solve too. Summary: TODAY WAS FINAL DAY!!!!! I was truly nerves. I had been studying all day and brushing up on the past things we had been learning all year.

Write about a place you never wanted to leave.

 Prompt response: A place I have never wanted to leave was botanical gardens when I was younger. I felt so magical and at ease there. It was so beautiful and I begged my mom to let us stay longer. I felt as if I was one with nature.  Today in class we started to learn about Indian culture. We watched two videos about things that they do in their culture. Such as how they eat with their hands and not with forks and spoons. Also learned how they only eat with their right hand and the left hand is used for other services. Next we watched a video on how they shake their head when speaking with someone. They do it as a form of communication if they don’t feel like speaking. They acknowledge each other with it such as they say thank you with wobbling their hands and they say yes and no and many other things. It was very interesting to learn these things because I did not know too much about the India culture. Today’s class was very informative and Intersting. My overall day was dece...
