Symbolism




     Joseph was being dragged along the sidewalks after the people decided he was to be lynched. He was accused of murdering someone that he knows he never even touched but there was nothing he could do about it. He was hung from a tree as the people cheered feeling that justice had been done. The crowd dissipated and came back in an hour to an empty noose swinging like a pendulum from the tree. People claimed to have fleeting glimpses of Joseph running around the town. The people were plagued with the fear of being haunted and pretended like it never happened.

     Joseph is supposed to have symbolized Jesus in the story of his death and resurrection.  Jesus had been crucified and his dead body sealed in a tomb. One day when they came back to check on him he was gone. People claimed that they had seen him.

    I like the symbolism between Joseph and Jesus. The blog was smooth and made sense. Good job!

        Thanksgiving break can be so annoying. We have so much homework and it stresses me out the entire break. I wish we could have a whole break with no homework. But I guess that is just too much to ask for. I get that we need to keep our minds refreshed sometimes but we get so much homework it does so much more than that.        Thanksgiving is also just not my favorite holiday in general. We have to all just sit together and eat and it is so boring. Thursday was definitely my least favorite day of the break. It isn't my moms favorite holiday because eating food we don't especially like isnt our favorite pastime. So this holiday gets on my nerves.

Narrative response

     I think that my personal narrative is definitely a work in progress but so far it is pretty good. I think that the writing small groups were very helpful and I got good, positive feedback on my narrative. Was told that my narrative had good vivid detail and I was glad because I know that that is something important in a personal narrative. I think that if I continue to improve and build on what I already have then it will become a very good narrative.      I thought that the feedback I got on how to improve my narrative was even better. I was told to add dialogue which I am struggling with but I know that it will be a lot better. I was also told to describe what the best part about cross country was and I think that it will be an interesting direction for the narrative to go in instead of just naming all of the things that I like. I think that this feedback will make the difference in a good grade and a bad one.

            My favorite day of the week right now is Tuesday. Tuesday is just a mediocre day overall until the amazing hour of 7 pm. At 7 is when the flash comes on on the CW channel. It is Gregory and I's favorite show and it is an hour long. It just started its fourth season after a long break that was torturous.              I always go over to Gregory's house and we rotate who buys the pizza each week. It's always so much fun and it is something to look forward to on Mondays and Tuesdays which are usually the hardest days of the week. This is always a fun mark in my week that Gregory and I discuss. We end up theorizing about what we think is going to happen in the next episode. This makes Tuesdays just great.
