The Color Purple/Day 1

Reflection:
In "The Color Purple", the letters starts with Celie desribing every detail of Fonso, her father, raping her. She has her baby by Fonso and does not know whether Fonso killed the babies or took them. He leaves her with wonder and thought. Fonso starts glancing at Celie's little sisiter, Nettie. Celie knowing what Fonso is capable does not want Nettie to go through that horrifying situation. Altogether, the start, middle, and end of this letter made me and the class uncomfortable. The thought of Fonso phsysically raping her did not sit well.

Day One:
My day was interesting one. In Calculus AP BC, Ms. Mahoney taught the class "U substitution". At first, I was completely lost at what she doing. But, Ms. Mahoney always teaches in a way our class can understand. If we do not understand her ways, she has an activity called Khan Academy and it has helped me so much. Plus, Ms. Mahoney stays after school on certain days to help our class out with her work. In AP Literature Compostion, our class started reading, "The Color Purple". Thanks to Mr. Sanderson, the A/AB Honor Roll students had a pep rally today for a former student. The former student was in the NFL and came to visit by. Some faculty staff members of the school said encouraging words. Rodney Hudson, former student, also had a few words of motivation and hard work. Day One.

The Color Purple Reflection/Journal Entry Day 2 Reflection: In letters 7-9, Celie's father, Fonso, beats Celie for dressing "trampy". By now she is used to her father beating her. Nettie cries because she realizes what is happening to her sister and both of them are going to be separated. Mr._____ wants Celie, instead, Fonso suggests Celie and talk about her. Calling her ugly and unattractive Fonso says she is a good worker, stepmother, and unable to have kids. Basically stating she is nothing but what she already was. Later Mr.______ comes back around to see Celie and Fonso offers a Celie's cow as a gift. On the day of the wedding, Celie is attacked by one Mr.______ son. Hitting with her a rock. Maybe indicating that the son will not like Celie in the future. Furthermore, Celie thinks about Nettie while Mr._____ has sex with her. For Celie, it is not much romance going on since Celie was raped. Day 2: My day consisted of watching movies, learning integrat

Fences Reflection|Journal Entry Day 19   The class went over homework from last night. Then, we read Fences. It is a interesting play and book to begin with. Troy is the father of a idealistic musician, archangel son, and a inspiring football player, Rose is his wife. Troy is blunt to anybody. Rose is the typical mother wanting to decide what's better for her and her kids. Gabriel, who himself is to believed to be the archangel, was shot in the head, but has a metal plate. Bono is a follower than a leader. He agrees on Troy's arguments or try not get in as much.   Day 19:  It is Valentine's Day! Nice to see people receiving gifts plus their reactions. I did a Valentine's Day Hairstyle. People said they loved my hair and I felt so happy. I like being creative with my hair. Especially when holidays come around. My brother took more pictures of me for the yearbook.
