Today in American LIT we started reading the play "Fences" by August Wilson. There were 5 characters in total that we encountered today. Mr Rease spoke for one of these characters, the rest were students that he had picked. For the people who were not reading, we had a worksheet to help us analyze what we were reading. So far, I think the story is interesting and the themes are important. One of these themes was that everything you do in the dark comes to light eventually. I found today to be very productive.

 Today is Friday, the day before Thanksgiving break. I was very excited to go home all day. In American LIT we finished the film and worksheet that we were watching and working on. The film made me think about my life. Overall the day went pretty good. I am very happy about getting a break from school.

 It was block day on Thursday, and we started watching a film about children's journeys to school around the world. The movie gave me some perspective on the way I view school. These kids are very young and they will walk up to 4 hours to school. I am very lucky that I get to get driven to school every morning. The rest of the day went by pretty slowly, and wasn't that great. I am excited for break.

 I was absent on 11/14/23

 In American LIT on Monday, we read the poems that we had written last week. We read these poems to the class, everyone that had turned it in spoke to the class. I was the last person to go, and barely had enough time to get through mine. Mr Rease did not assign us any extra work for the independent learning day on Tuesday, which was good news to me. I checked out at the end of the day, so the day was shorter. This was also good news to me. I would rate it as a 7/10 day.

 Today in American Lit we took an assessment on a poem we had analyzed previously. This task was pretty hard for me because I wasn't here when we took the time to go through the poem. I ended up not getting a great grade on the quiz as expected. It is okay though, because my grade is still pretty good in the class. It wasn't a bad day today.
