I hate redoing blogs

(Viewed Saturday, Nov 16th, 2019) Watching the play, I saw many themes and ideas that were shown throughout the two hours. The main idea of the play is about how Christopher, a fifteen year old boy with autism, had gone through a rough patch in his life, and what his actions were based off the environment he was put in. His mother leaving him with a father who cannot hold back his anger on certain occasions had put him under a lot of stress. The path to solving the mystery of who killed the dog had put him on an unexpected path leading him to finding out a lot more than he should have. With autism as a factor, it was hard for him to process everything and hold in the new information without causing anymore problems in his family. He then went on a journey to find his mother after his father hit him and lied to him. He ended up finding his mother and reuniting with his father at the end of the play. He evolved from a kid who was not confident in himself to someone who believed he co...

Notes: - Christopher is still mad at Ed and how he killed Wellington. - Ed seems pretty scared to talk to his son after everything had been revealed about himself. - Judy tells Ed to come up with a way to talk to Christopher. - He talks to Christopher about how he would never hurt him. - Christopher still felt intimidated by Ed. - Ed brings out a last resort with a dog, which ends up winning Christopher back to his good side. - He also scored big time on his exam which he was definitely excited about but seemed very humble. - Siobhan congratulates him, and Christopher felt very good about himself. - He then questioned what he could actually do since he realized that he had done many things. - He believed at the end that he could do anything, with Siobhan's support.

Noah Chi Ms. Guarino IB Lit & Performance 11/02/19 My group (Loki, Daylin, and I) did “I, Too” by Langston Hughes, as well as another group (Lauren, Mia, and Connor). Because we did the same poem, it would be easier to compare and contrast our ideas as well as show what unique ideas we both had. We both projected the poem in two different styles, with many similarities as well as many differences.  In my group, our main goal was to come up with a way to show how the main character, the African American, felt about how the other people in the house were treating him, and what he felt like as it all happened. The poem can easily be pictured in a simple note or journal entry. What we tried to do on the stage was act out his thoughts as if it were actually happening, not just a thought in his head. The other group that has to present this poem presented it in a different way. Even though the poem was short, they were able to show more of the p...

The Red Wheelbarrow By William Carlos Williams Even though there are only eight lines in the whole poem, it still conveys a big message. The wheelbarrow in the poem is a symbol for many things that happen in our everyday lives. The wheelbarrow does not have that many actions and is not used for many things, but it is crucial for the farmer to do what he needs to do. The poem itself does not have that much else to it, only four stanzas, not much of a tone, no rhyme scheme, but it still has a message. Mother to Son By Langston Hughes The main message of this poem is to show how hard it is to be a mother. The verbs used are showing what a mother has to go through everyday. The staircase is a symbol to show how it's hard for the mother to walk up and down, or how to support her child with the obstacles that stand in her way. The G's are cut off from many words, there is no rhyme scheme, no stanzas, and the tone of the voice can be determined as more raised than the average...
