Cheri Review...

On Monday 27 November class began with my "Thanksgiving" poem, followed by Zach's review of the previous class period. After we took care of the blogs, we went ahead and discussed The Grapes of Wrath right off the bat. Ms. H had us tell her some of the "golden lines" we found, or atleast what we thought were golden lines. She explained that the lines must be able to stand alone, free of the context, and be fully understandable. Then after the golden lines,we were so eager to discuss the book that we began discussing it prior to getting in our "happy circle". While disscussing we some of the topics we covered were, how strong ma was, laying with her dead mom to get across the border, how people were almost bitter in telling the Joads that there was no hope in California, how Noah decided to stay behind and fish, how Connie straight up left, the encounter with the police, and how they were to act Bull-simple, and how upon their arrival to California the Joads noticed that it wasn't as nice as they thought. The people were bitter and cold, and the state residents called the migrants "okies".
