christina's blog spot 9/5

 If I had to choose one song to describe my life right now, it would be Lock In by Destroy Lonely because I've been locked in. Whether that be completing all my schoolwork and assignments on time or going to work to make some extra money, I've been working hard. Despite this, I still have other goals I want to achieve, like consistently studying for the SAT every day and going to the gym at least 3-4 times a week. Sometimes it's easy to put things on the back burner, but I just need to make those things a priority. Today in class, we took a quiz on Emily Dickinson's poetry. I thought I was doing a good job comprehending her poetry, but seeing my score, I guess not. My score will help motivate me to gain a deeper understanding of her words and their different meanings.

christina's english blog 8/13

A real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship I experienced is one time I asked my friend to go to the boardwalk with me, and she told me she couldn't go. The next day, I saw that she had gone without me with another friend. I'm not going to lie, I did feel a little jealous, but in the end, it was a misunderstanding. She had already had plans to go with someone else and couldn't go with me that day. Today, I learned about a folklore story "The Jealous Father" when a man suspected his son was having a affair with one of his wives due to marks on her body and tried to get rid of him but in the end the son never had an affair and the father tried to get rid of his son over a false lie.  Today, we started a project. My group is responsible for the moral aspect of the story.

Christina's blog post 1/7

 Today in class, we learned about 3 rhetorical devices. The devices we learned were hyperbole, understatement, and litotes. Hyperbole: Today's lesson was so revolutionary, my brain doubled in size! Understatement: We spent a few minutes looking at words today.  Litotes: Learning about rhetorical devices today wasn't exactly a waste of time.
