This week worked on our POW "I Felt a Funeral, In My Brain," by Emily Dickenson. We explicated it and went of the rhetorical meaning but after school being canceled Thursday and having a shortened period on Friday, we were not able to write our essay for this poem.
Most of our time in AP Lit/Comp this week was spent on our elements of Literature project. My group has finished half of our essay so far and we still have yet to make our presentation. I have learned a lot about humor and structure with this project. I learned that structure and plot go hand in hand. The structure of a story is like the skeleton and the plot is like the muscles because the structure is generally the same from story to story, this is why they can be predictable, and the plot is what gets switched up and adds extra that makes the story different from another.
The other thing that we have been doing in class is work on our SSR. I have really struggled to find the time to read my book these six weeks because I have been so busy. Hopefully now that homecoming is over I will have more time on my hands!
