Let's get right into this. I honestly have no idea what to write about, So I'll write about the absence of thought. Honestly all that I can think about right now are memes. It's why I laugh to myself all the time. I think that everyone should have fun in their life, and memes are fun. I don't even know what I'm writing, I can't focus right now, but I'm trying to write something. |

These weeks are flying, and we are reading Huck Finn. Huck seems like a lost cause. Huck and Jim are traveling together in order to reach canada so that Jim can be a free man. Huck just seems to keep messing that up. He tries to fool Jim, and Jim gets very obviously upset. They both keep splitting up because Huck can't listen to Jim. It's obvious that Huck's morals are in the right place, but he just can't seem to do the right things.They finally meet up after Huck learns about the Grangerford feud. Then they pick up two hitchhikers who are imposters, and Jim is gullible enough to believe them, but Huck finally does something right, and catches on. At first you can see how eager they are to finally have some people aboard, and to stop being alone. Then they kind of wish that they had never picked them up, because if one of them says they say Jim, he is done. Here's to week eight! If I am going to be completely honest, I can not stand Huck Finn. It's so lame, slow, but I guess it served its purpose at the time. I don't understand why we have to read it at this day and age. We all may have our own internalized phobias and race issues, but we are different now. Our issues may resemble some of the past issues, but we don't use nearly as much racism in our everyday life. Another week has gone by, and I've learned little. I have learned how'er to search for a deeper meaning to the lyrics of songs. I think that it takes a lot of skill to make songs that can connect to people on a deep emotional level.Artists like Adele, and Childish Gambino are true artists, and the song is their piece of art. Each word is skillfully crafted to complement one another. It is amazing how artists can write songs about riots, illness, love, sex, money, and so many people can relate. Artists are masters of bringing people together, because people may not know the people next to them, but I guarantee that you like at least one song that they like. 'Cause music is infectious! That's the power of the music! This class is interesting. We learn very little, (in my opinion), but we can apply the main theme which is The Power of The Individual to many things in our own life. For example, I've been applying it to my musical studies, and how even though I am just one tenth grader who doesn't practice that often, but I have so much power in the band. I play as one of two Euphoniums, (picture a Tuba, and make that smaller), and I have so much power, because if you take me away, that's half of the Euphoniums. Sorry for that little tangent. I feel like I don't learn that much, because I know a lot about english. I know so much, that I am considering switching out, and into honors. I don't want to though, because I like the way Mr. Shoenborn teaches. Also I like the way he discusses topics of interest, such as the witch hunts. I feel involved in this class, I'm just not learning. By the way I act, you wouldn't think I like to learn, but I truly do. It makes me feel like I have power because I know so much. I would love to be thought of as omniscient, but I'm far from it! |
