Hmmm, how should I describe my attitude towards literature this week? Well I guess this week's poem was actually pretty cool and had a lot of hidden implications within the text, and it was really nice to play detective and find the connections. Now, I'm not going to go as far as saying that I loved this week in literature-it's going to take more than an interesting poem to dethrone 12 years of nurtured dislike for a subject-but it seemed at least a good start to that goal. Perhaps I'm being too harsh here, but at the very least this class so far has felt more rewarding than a large portion of the rest of my Language Arts Education in my past.
My independent reading book for this marking period is kind of an odd experience to describe, I write about it this week, because I guess the book is getting kind of more serious, and the tone is changing. But it really is kind of a weirdly constructed book. The stories up to this point have felt super pointless and not really plot-advancing (to be honest I still really don't know what the plot is), but it's not boring to read....It's a peaceful, really atmospheric book, and it's pretty relaxing to read. There's a part of me that thinks that I'm completely effing up the point of this book, but I don't know, it's doesn't feel like it's...accomplishing anything. Oh yeah, and the ted talk was really really nice. It was really eye opening to see the painter as part of the landscape of the painting, and that really gave a painting like Girl with a Pearl Earring a lot more personality and depth for me.
