Prompt: In letters 6 -10, we see how Celie starts noticing the strength of people around her, like Shug Avery’s independence and confidence. Think about someone in your life who inspires you to be stronger or more confident. What qualities do they have that you admire and try to learn from?

 One person that inspires me to be strong and confident is Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris is the coolest person ever to live, and the greatest martial artist and actor ever in human history. Some might say Chuck Norris could hear sign language. Behind Chuck Norris' beard, there is no chin. There is only another fist. Chuck Norris can make onions cry. Chuck Norris cooks minute rice in 30 seconds. Chuck Norris can even slam a revolving door. Chuck Norris is who I strive to be.


Today we read letters 6-10 from "The Color Purple"


I learned about the characters in the book and how they develop

Pretend you are writing a blog entry as Celie; the moment you uncover the hidden letters. Describe what you would think, say, and do, and how this discovery would reshape how you see Mister and yourself. Reflect on why this moment would matter so much and how it would change your next choices.

 Dear God, It is absolutely beyond me that Mr.__ had the effrontery to up and hide Netties letters from me. I feel really upset and angry at him. All this time I've been dearly missing Nettie so dad gum much it's killing me to be without her letters. Mr. __ knew this and decided to keep it from her anyways!!! I just cannot believe it. I knew he was bad, but this is worse than I thought. I cannot let this go unpunished. Maybe I try to fake an injury from him, and I'll tell Shug Avery on him. Then he'll be sorry. Shug Avery will beat the red devil out of him if she thinks Mr.__ has been abusing me. This choice of his to hide the letters is my TURNING point. I'm done with his idiocy. I have just about HAD it with him. Sure, I'm glad I have the letters, and I'll make the novel a ton longer and way more convoluted by including her letters in it, but I'm still super mad at Mr. __ and I must exact revenge.  Today in class we did a short quiz on the previous let...

Prompt: Tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your favorite word and how often do you use it?

 My favorite word right now is probably "dad gum." I say it all the time because I think it's funny when it' s really not. I just kinda add it onto everything I say. You can ask Jillian about it because she frequently is on the receiving end of the word. I heard it from the popular twitch streamer "Caseoh" who always says dad gum and if he can make it funny why can't I? It's a euphemism for a different set of 2 words that means for God to condemn.  Today in class we worked on a comic strip that I thought was a very fun activity except for the vocabulary words we had to use. I learned about the different vocab words from chapter 1.

What do I know about my birth

 My dad had to cancel his order at Mcdonald's to run to the dad gum delivery room. I was a C section. I was first held by my dad. I have no idea how long my birth lasted. However, I didn't know how to eat. I would literally have died if I was a baby at any other time in history because I straight up had no idea how to eat. I was born on a Monday. My head was giant. I was born a week late, and my head was gargantuan. I could speak in sentences before I could walk because of how large my head was. I was in the 107th percentile for head size or something outrageous like that.  Today in class we read poems by William Blake I learned more than I probably wanted to about childbirth and I learned about Mr. Rease's kids' birth. Very interesting day.
