In class we finished the rest of the book. We find out that 7 years has passed and Troy has died from a heart attack. Cory decided to join the military and comes home on the day of the funeral. He tells rose he doesn’t want to go to the funeral but rose gets upset and tries to help Cory more understand his father. She tells him that’s Troy always gave what he could and that’s what she would do for Raynell who was Troy’s daughter. This book very interesting and had a lot of deep meaning. I enjoyed reading it.

 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.
