Period 8, Post 11: What You're Thankful For
Hey, all. I hope everybody is enjoying their long weekend. I certainly am. :-)
That said, I'd like to take a break from text-related responses this week. With Thanksgiving upon us, I'd like for us all to remember what the holiday really is supposed to be: not a day for gorging oneself with food, but a reminder to remember the many blessings in our lives, for which we should be grateful.
Therefore, please take this opportunity to say what you're thankful for in your lives.
This will be the last blog post for the second marking period.

Period 8, Post 10:
Despite the fact that Thanksgiving is fast approaching, we're still deep in the middle of the semester; don't stop working now!!
This week, we talked about how, in The Lovely Bones, characters have used Susie's picture to say goodbye to her, as they begin to move into the acceptance stage of grief. Using the text and your notes, discuss one of the three instances from the book. Explain its importance for the character, and to the story. How does saying goodbye allow this character to move forward with his/her life?

Periods 6 & 7, Post 10: Symbols in "The Bluest Eye"
Despite the fact that Thanksgiving is fast approaching, we're still deep in the middle of the semester; don't stop working now!!
This week, we talked about how, in The Bluest Eye, Pecola sees herself in the dandelions, and transfers her negative feelings about herself onto the weeds. The Bluest Eye is rife with symbolism; the dandelions are only one example. Choose from one of the following symbols:
* marigold seeds
* baby dolls
* blue eyes
* Mary Jane candies
* Fun with Dick and Jane storybook
In your comment, explain where this symbol appears in the text (including page number and quotation), what this symbol represents, and why it's important to the story.
