Reflect on your project. How did it go? Do you feel like it was successful? If you could change something about the process or the outcome, what would you do differently? Would you do this type of project again? Be sure to briefly describe your project before reflecting upon it?

          My project was about how the women in The Merchant of Venice and how they weren't like the women during the time it was written in but more like women in the modern ages. It went well and I feel like I did a pretty good job getting my point across. I wrote a paper and I took examples of women being strong, independent, and modern.  I think I did a pretty good job doing this.  Presenting it was a bit confusing because I didn't know if I should have read my paper, make a slide, or talk about it.  I just decided to make a overview of my report and just talk about what I found.  I could have been better at presenting but I am pretty shy when it comes to presenting and it is something I am working.

Prompt: In the first chapter, we found out that Thi's father Bô was not in the delivery room with Má when their children were born. What do you think about that when you read that? And by the end of the book, did you ideas shift? If so, how and why? If not, how and why not? In the first chapter Ma says that Bo was not present for all of his children birth. For Thi's birth Bo was actually at the movie theater. When I read this I thought that this was part of their culture. Ma also seemed to be okay with this. I also feel like this might have something to do with generations. It might have been okay for Bo not to be their for his children's birth than if Travis wasn't there for his child's birth. I think that Bo and Ma's relationship had something to do with why Bo didn't come to the delivery of his children. Throughout the book my thoughts developed about Bo's absents. I believe that he was very scared for Ma and he didn't want to see her in ...

Choose one of the poems that we have studied in your reader, and analyze the title. How does the title relate to the rest of the poem, and how does it create meaning? Provide examples from the poem to support your claims. In "This Is Just To Say" the poem there are 3 stanzas with 4 lines in each one.  In the poem a person tells another person that he or she has eaten their plums. The person says that they have eaten the other persons plums, but seems to not be very sorry. I think that the title is a bit sarcastic. If the person who ate the plums didn't feel that bad about the plums, then I think that the title is saying, "sorry I ate your plums that were so delicious, I just wanted you to know I ate them." Also when the author says "forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold" it gives me the sense that the person isn't very sorry and is rubbing in the point that he or she ate the plums.

Of all the texts that we've read this year, which one is your favorite, and why? Which one is your least favorite, and why? My favorite text that we read this year was definitely The Great Gatsby. I liked The Great Gatsby because it is very lively and visual. I also enjoyed the movie with all of the colors and the actors. My least favorite book was The Merchant of Venice. I disliked this book because I don't understand Shakespear. To be honest I didn't really understand the book. For me it was a very bland book. The Great Gatsby and The Merchant of Venice are two very different books. In the end I prefer The Great Gatsby.
