Post 5 what my peers thought about their stories

Jayla learned "how an author can use symbols and symbolism thought a poem to create different meanings. "She understood the symbolism included in the poem but didn't make a connection to anything else. She didn't say any of the meanings she got out of the poem. Jaylen learned from his story is" that some people just give up on themselves, family, and the world. The woman in the story did no longer wanted to be part of her family and society." She also learned that as a woman they are more than just a wife or a mother. She truly interpreted her story and understood it.

post 4 What I learned about my poem

I learned that the person is like a night owl. they are wide awake in the night. they have seen and heard everything from cries to the rain drops. The person is kinda like me. if I'm down or just need time away from things i go out for a walk.  Some nights I just can't fall asleep so, I have to get out. Part of that reason could be we have too much on our mind.

post 03 the story i choose for doc 1

I chose Kate Chopin's " the Story of An Hour". I picked this story because I like how it builds. I like the tension. It kind of remind me of the plot of how Gerry from my first post died in the movie remember the titans. he got in a car accident after a big win and was hospitalized. after a couple of years later he passed and brought everyone in the town together as one. that was significant in the story because race was a dividing factor. in the story I chose everyone showed Mrs. Mallard their condolences for her losing her husband.

Post 02 My favorite movie

My favorite movie is Remember the Titans. This movie got me wanting to play football when I was younger. Up until 5th grade I wanted to do anything as long as it didn't involve football. My excuse was they hit too hard. After watching that movie I ended up playing with one of my friends for my 1st time playing. We made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs and also played in the Georgia Dome against an Alabama team. We won that game and ended the season  on a good note. I had a bestfriend that was as close to me just like Julius and Gerry Bertier. We ended up losing contact after the last game and it's been 7 years since I've seen him.
