In English, we're reading Tangerine by Edward Bloor. While reading part two, we had to fill out a reaction log. I was fine with that. But right before we started part two, my teacher said, "So, a lot of new characters and places are introduced in this part, and a lot oif important things happen. Instead of a reaction log, you are going to fill out a study guide to help you keep everything straight."
Look at this!
I need to rant. This is a good place to rant about being sick of not being in an advanced English class. I won't get the chance to be in one until next year. I should have seen if it would have been possible to skip my grade English, and just go up the the advanced English class. I should've. But that thought didn't even cross my mind.
Also, same English class, we got this huge packet, and one of the questions was this:
Read the poem.
Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.
[A nice poem. But this question ruined it.]
This poem could have been written as a persuasive essay. Why was it not?
I was very tempted to write, "Because that would be stupid."
Thanks for bearing my ranting. I am so excited to go to collage. (Please don't tell me to enjoy this stuff while I can. I want to look forward to it instead of dreading it).
