!!!!!!!!! You know how the lockers of the Honkan are actually inside a classroom? Well, I thought I had the right door until I opened it to face a whole class with a stern looking teacher and a bewildered student who was in the middle of a speech...
shoooooooooooot.
I quickly said, "Sorry!" and closed the door but it was so embarrassing!
On a brighter note, today we had class OUTSIDE :)
It was really nice, except these freakishly huge ants kept on climbing onto my feet and I STILL have allergies! I'm not even sure what I'm allergic to anymore, haha. But I love having class outside. Oh, and taking a photo during lunch was fun too! I'm glad Rab could make it. Can't wait to see our awesome photo on the yearbook! I hope we can all get together to take a CB Soph pic!
Soo, I thought I'd done an okay job on the 3B's check for The Old Man and the Sea, but I realized I totally forgot to do a background check of the context, cultural background, and time setting. I also found it a bit difficult to make connections with reality and the content of the book since I've only read about ten pages so far. But it was interesting connecting his women issues with the absence of women in the book, his humiliation of not being able to sell any books with Santiago not being able to retrieve any fish, Hemingway's strong Christian background with Santiago being depicted as Jesus, and Hemingway and the big fish representing countries. I wonder what significance the number eighty-five has in the book, other than the obvious fact that it took him that long to find the big fish. I read that in Hemingway's unique style of writing, he uses lots of repetition so I'll try to pay more attention to the things he repeats in this book.
