9/12

 In class we continued reading the story fences. We also took notes on the characters and learned about connotations. We learned that there are different words. We can use that have different connotations, such as negative and positive. I was reading the part Rose, which is Troy‘s wife, I don’t really like reading out loud but since it’s a small classroom, everybody has to read and it’s not as scary.  I am really enjoying this book and the way they speak to each other is funny.

 In class we took an Assessment on the the story The yellow wallpaper. After taking the assessment we went over the answers and received the opportunity to explain why we chose certain answers and where we went wrong. Originally I received a 7 out of 10 but during the review of the answers I got the chance to explain one of my answers. I was able to explain to explain my thought process which allowed me to  received credit which would put my score as an 80. I really appreciated this opportunity and this made me feel better because an 80 is much better than a 70.

 In class today we read the rest of Act one Scene 4. We learned about Troy’s past and how he was in Jail for 15 years because she killed someone while trying to rob them. Because of what we learned about Troy’s father, we can infer that he is similar to his father in certain ways. Troy told Cory’s football coach that he can’t play football and Cory got upset. Troy told Cory to watch it and not to “strike out” which means that like Troy, Cory may get kicked out the house. Today was a good reading and I was entertained while reading about Troy’s past.
