 Today in class we read the poem "Out,Out" by Robert Frost. It talked about a boy who was using a saw and got his hand cut off and died when he was put to sleep. This is almost like the time I lost my hearing from a loud noise.

 In class we went over what theme was. We watched to videos and we had to figure out what the theme of the video was. One of the videos was a man on a elevator and he was looking at how many people got on. But the max weight was 2000 and he got when he heard the big man come. At the end of class we just worked on our origin myth.

 Today was an silent work day in class today. We did not have a lesson so we had to keep working on our origin myth story. To be real with you i haven't started yet but i'm going to start once I get my computer. But i know what i'm going to write about and i hope i get a good grade. And that's all what happened today in class.

 In class i started on the questions for Jealous father. Then we went over what we were going to do in class. The teacher started to tell us that we had an assignment writing about your own myth. First we started a thinking map to tell what our myth was going to have in it. Then we just started writing our own myth.

 In class today i did my bell ringer that talked about what are some of the stereotypes of the Native Americans. I stated that one of the stereotypes was that they don't wear  alot of clothes. In class we also talked about origin myths. We talked about "Myth vs Religion" Myth is something that is not true and Religion is known to be true. And we also read " The Jealous Father".  

 Yesterday I read some of "The Rockpile". After i just set in the class and talked to the people that were around me.I also watched movies and shows. I was thinking about reading the rest of the story but it was to long.

 Today I read " I, Too", It was a good poem to go over. It talked about a black brother not being treated well and having to eat in the kitchen.But the next day he he would not have to eat in the kitchen. I also took a test for all of the poems that i went over with the class. I did not do as well as I wanted to but that just telling me I need to do better.
