Review for 8 Dec

Since Josh hates it when people say "I started the day with my piece of quality writing" on their review I'll do it just to spite him. :) I started the day off with my piece of quality writing :) , Metaphors by Sylvia Plath. And then Josh shared another one of his unique reviews. Then Ms. Hillestad being as nice as she is, encouraged Brittany to do a little song and dance number for the promotion of Annie. Then we got into our discussion circle and talked about Life of Pi. We started off by discussing the author's note. Ms. Hillestad set us straight about how the little chapters that are italicized are when the author is talking about his encounter with Pi. And the regular chapters are written in Pi's point of view. We talked about the zoology and religion and how they tie together in the book. We also got ourselves into a conversation about the animals which turned into a conversation about sloths which made us realize that we didn't really know what a sloth looked like other than the one on Ice Age which, compared to the pictures Meghan pulled up, aren't really the same thing. The class ended with Ms. Hillestad assigning the rest of Part One to be read by Monday. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
