Jermia's Ap blog

   We read 6 entry’s of the short story the yellow wallpaper. Right not it is very good. The lady is going insane because her husband keeps her basically locked in the same room. She sits in the room and looks at the patterns on the wallpaper and it’s start to resemble a figure of a woman. Then it turns into a woman figure that is behind bars.

               We discussed some parts of the book together to get a better understanding/feel of it so when it pops up on the exam it won’t be as difficult.

      We finished Macbeth and surprisingly I’m sad to say I’m mad that we are already done because the play was really good. We also worked in groups with particular prompts. To me it’s kind of difficult for me to try to get my examples together because i see how everyone else sounds then I start to think that mines is wrong.

     Today I had to do crinneton ambassador and talk to the kids who goes to Mobile County Training School.

        Today we acted out our scenes we created. For my group it was difficult because people were getting early dismissals and we didn’t have no way of putting our ideas together. Also, we had to change our whole script because the original script was to straight forward. The overall experience was good and fun to do.

   I’m in group one and we had to write a scene based of the play Macbeth. The scene had to be about what would’ve happen if Macbeth hadn’t given in to lady Macbeth plan. The thing is we had to use celebrities which was kind of difficult due to tryna match personalities between the celebrities and characters.

    We read Act two scenes 1-3. Those scenes were about the plan to kill Duncan actually going through Lady Macbeth drugged the servants and Macbeth killed Duncan with their daggers. In order for it too look like the servants did it Lady Macbeth smeared Duncan’s blood on their face leaving their daggers next to them. When it happened the nature started to act different.

Today we talked about scoring of AP literature exams and what is all needed to get the scoring that you would really want. We also read a little more of Macbeth and how the plan was starting to fall through and how they were going to do it.

Today we read the first 4 scenes of act 1 in Macbeth. The first four scenes were about the witches making a prophecy about Macbeth becoming king. Now Macbeth realizes that in order to even become king, even though he is not in the blood line, is that he has to kill of Duncan and everyone else.

      Today we talked about America. We talked about what it means to be and American and what comes to mind when you hear the word “America.” We also talked about hero like who are your hero’s in this world mines is Barack Obama and my parents and siblings they taught me a lot while on this earth for 17 years. We talked about 9/11 and what we as students knew about it and what situations could almost relate as feelings to it.

Today we went over some things that  we are going to find in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. I personally thought we were going to jump right into it but he gave us more clarity on what it is going to be about so that we would be prepared to read it.

Today we talked to a counselor from South Alabama. She gave us many insights on what South is about. She talked about the freshman dorms and that freshman’s can drive in campus. You have to have a 19 on the ACT and a 2.5 Gpa to apply for their scholarships.

Today we analyzed sonnet 29. It’s about a man who feels like he already has bad luck and on top of that he also feels that society look at him in a different way. He doesn’t have any hope. But with he soon realizes that with love brings hope the brightens him up and he wouldn’t want to switch places with no one else.

 Ever had a dog that acts almost human? Who likes to give high-fives and be a baby                                                                          In your face like a camera zooming in Will never leave your side almost maybe I have a small dog her name is Midnight She is sometimes grouchy but causes peace  She had a bedtime at 9 o’clock at night  But once she hears a bag she wants a piece She acts as if she’s a monkey in a cage She loves to catch dangerous bugs Don’t touch her food or she will light with rage And she doesn’t like to really give hugs Don’t test her for she might be small For her heart is big which makes her stand tall

Today i was absent from school because of my sinuses.

              Today we learned a little more about William Shakespeare poems. They have a rhyme scheme which is abab cdcd efef gg. Shakespeare's poems contain 3 stanzas with 4 lines each. The words of the poems usually go from unstressed to stressed in foot and meters. We read sonnet 29 which he portrays the beauty of a lover to summer and how the beauty never changes.

     Today we had a test in AP Literature on analyzing poems and writing a prompt about a poem and how her attitude was toward the woman in the poem. It was some difficult words throughout the test but, i managed to finish in time to go over it.
