Review for Wednesday April 25th

The day was April 25th, it was a Wednesday. And on this fateful day there were only seven students, incluing myself, in class. I read my peice of quaility writing, which is from the classic, Peter Pan. As usual the review came next and Cheri got up in front of our huge group of 6 + Ms. Hillestad and reminded us of Josh's ranting from Monday about Oberlin and New College.
Ms. Hillstead then walked aroud the room and collected the Walkabout 4th Quarter Progress Reports and discovered that a couple of the students had failed in aquiring the extremly life changing signatures of their mentor's.
We then recieved an all powerfull list of important literary terms, this list would be wise to study and review before the terrible day when we have to take the AP exam! We then proceded to create our circle of discussion, which Aline said was now a dot becuase there was so few of us. Essay questions from last years AP lit exam were past around our dot and we went through each question and disscussed a little about what to write.
We then pulled out 1984. We talked about how it is the most bleak and hopeless Dystopia. We disscussed how in many totalitarian governments the posters of the leaders are just like the posters in the book with the eyes that follow you everywhere.
Ms. Hillestad talked about when she was growing up in Spain and how her parents always let her go places all by herself, and also how the media was all about Franco for 3 days after he died.
We all agreed that the rewritting of history, being watched, and children turning in their parents were all creeping things that we don't want to experience.
We then jumped to the Iraq war and we talked about that for the rest of the class. Why are we there? How, will the war be told in history books 40 years from now? were 2 of the many questions asked. We came to the conclusion that people are very impressionable and in some cases "controlled" by the media and sometimes can be really stupid.
WATCH WHAT YOU SAY AND DO. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!!!!!
