Pejorative Terms *may contain foul language*

Today we talked about what word offended us in certain ways. Words that offend me is Bi*** and ni**** or negro. Those words offend me is because I feel as if you are degrading and stopping me from doing this that i do not like that is what pejorative means. Pejorative means  a word or grammatical form expressing a negative connotation or a low opinion of someone or something, showing a lack of respect for someone or something. People use certain word should not be in anyone’s everyday vocabulary to degrade you of who you are such as racial slurs when people say certain terms and takes one back to where things were segregated no one like nobody. Words that are said to one another can stick to us for however long we shall live so we should always watch what we say to other people especially concerning their feelings.

Yesterday we were to make our own questions pertaining what we read in the Pardoners tale. Today we used those same questions to and each group was to answer the question and which ever question was the best was correct. I don’t really have confidence in that because i don’t know how to word things which makes its look wrong but could be possibly be right. The test we will do Friday will probably help me improve on what i am stumbling on.

Senior projects

Today in class we went to the library to get our book for our senior project and then we came back to class to read The Dream. The book I chose was The Blind Assassin which is about a woman whose sister killed her self and the her husband ended up dead on a sail boat which they are now investigate. The book is FICTIONAL and then she meets a lover in a back street room INTERESTING. The poem The Dream was about how this man thinks of this woman whom he is madly in love with but can only get her in his dream. This poem can relate to many high school crushes your always scared to talk to to them but when you dream at night anything is possible your no longer scared and you now have them all to yourself. I have went through this my 10th grade year i was falling for someone who i could never have but in my dream they were mine but the reality hit and i knew i could no longer live and that dream and i had to realize what was really going on.

Canterbury tales

Today in class we started the Canterbury Tales. While reading the general prologue I really didn’t get it as much as i think i should’ve which made me tune out in some parts. As we were reading about the knight and his son i realized that the language they used back then are somewhat similar to out if you put it in the correct terminology. As we were reading the wife of bath tale we were asked “What do women desire the most?” For me it’s food that’s was makes me happy i don’t wish to be in control of my husband or spouse but don’t get me wrong they are just finna run over me i will have some authority i just don’t wish to feel like the man over the relationship the one with the pants on. Overall today was a pretty good day in Ap literature.
