CALLING ALL BRAVE SOULS. 

Meeting Tomorrow In Dr. P's class! Tomorrow is literally thee Eve of National Novel Writing Month! Be There or be square! :))))

NOVELISTS UNITE!

OHMYGOODNESS. We start our journey this week!!! :D I don't know about you but im stresses/Stoked/Scared// Did i say stressed? STRESSED. Goodluck to everyone memorizing Hamlet! You can do it (: 

To Recite Or Not--Kidding..To Recite :(

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

Noveliste Unite!

 

Novelists! we have about 22 days till we begin our journey together!

I suggest we start brainstorming ideas that you would want to write about and start a little of some of the main ideas? Just to take a load off, It will be a load of work. :)

WHAT I MEANT TO SAY WAS

Chaucer mainly wrote to inform his readers and to inform them of the dangers of pride.

Green Eggs And Hamlet.

A) Sorry But I know nothing about this :/ 
B) All I know about Shakespeare is Romeo & Juliet and the fact that some of his stories do not make sense. 
C) Because People are terrified at the fact that we have to memorize this and no one wants to, why not just have a test on it or Socratic seminar? I'm hoping we at least have like 2 weeks to do this.
D) By not having to memorize it... How about that... please?!

SO MY MAIN POINT WAS

IF I ONLY REMEMBERED WHAT I HAD SAID. 


Well I THINK I wrote about how  chaucer Was giving out warnings because maybe he's been through it before, and i also gave examples ? Not sure if that's what you wanted us to post?

Novelists Unite!

Novelist! Our first meeting was great! 2 people is enough for me! But lets expand a bit? Yes? YES! If you wanted to make it but did not, i will tell you what i said. Basically our group is going to be meeting every Thursday at lunch! To give each other support and ideas possibly. I wasn't able to write a Novel last year but i seen people stress about it. So I talked to  Connor about my idea and it turned out he had the same idea! So why not make it a club right?! So yes we had a brief meeting so i'm encouraging everyone to join (: I also need to mention these really cool bracelets cause i was thinking about buying them for the group & i need to know how many people want to join(: Thank you and please let me know! 
                                    






                       
                                      

Direct And Inderect Characterization

Me and my Group chose to do "The Monk's Tale" I personally thought it was interesting but i couldn't actually categorize Direct characterization and indirect characterization only because he tells several stories in this story. He tells a tale about Bible characters such as Satan, Adam and Eve, Samson, Even Hercules.. I think its a warning about the way people become.. The come off as decent people and then pride gets to them.
