This week was filled with reading books, poems, informational text, and short stories. I am not very fond of reading if I don't enjoy what it is that I am reading, so this was a challenge. we have been given a lot of work and not a lot of time to work on it. Everything I am reading is helping me with the project that is due monday so it is bittersweet. I am glad I chose to work with a partner, sometimes it is easier to work on my own but when the workload is heavy it is nice to know a dependable person that you know won't make you do all the work. I find that I am becoming accustomed to living in Mt. Pleasant quite nicely. Everyone is very nice and I share one thing with everyone in this class, we all had the same desire to take AP Literature, and to have a teacher that is passionate about the topic motivates me as well. The poetry that is read allowed is important as well, this is like a closed circle that people open up in, like a meeting for alcoholics only less dramatic. For example, this week we read "Bright Star" and it's really about the vulnerable state love puts us in. Not everyone can relate to being in that state but I found it interesting when Mr. Schoenborn said, "I hope that if you've never been in that situation, that you are someday." It was a very human moment in my opinion, I know few other teachers who would relate to their students in that fashion.
