So we haven’t done a whole lot
this month because spring break took up a large part of it, but nonetheless, we
have still covered some important material.
We went through and annotated ceremony and learned a bit more about the
novel. Annotating was quite long and
tedious and even though we had all of spring break to do it, I still found
myself struggling to finish the night before.
Because it wasn’t a play, there was a lot less white space so it took
longer to annotate. Also, there wasn’t
very much dialog so most of the novel was just huge blocks of text. I felt like we didn’t really discuss Ceremony
a whole lot. We talked about some
aspects of the novel such as the death avoidance and how only the unnatural
deaths were described while the natural deaths are just referred to and not
played out. We also read an article and
talked a little bit about the role of animals as guides for Tayo throughout the
novel and their different forms.
We are now starting Fifth
Business and we learned about the philosophy of Jung. This was interesting and I am excited to see
how these things will come into play in the novel. I am also very happy that we don’t have to annotate
this novel.
Anyways, the AP test is coming
up and I am starting to get a little nervous.
I need to start studying!
