Today in class we completed our essays. I wrote about how Troys lack of commitment to the fence building aligns with his lack of commitment towards his marriage with Rose.
Today we read more of “fences”. We analyzed the text and talked about how we as students would feel being out on the street as 14 year old’s. We also tried to put ourselves in the characters shoes. We read that even in the north parts of America during the time, it was hard for a young black person to get a job. Crime and poverty is always connected.
Today we presented our projects again and I learned more about the different Latin American countries. I did my project on the Dominican Republic and I found it interesting that most Latin American countries practice catholicism as their main religion. I am excited to move onto a new unit in English focusing on different Latin American, authors and texts.
