Lit circles #3

Hey guys! Charlotte has really changed and not just a little she has gone a long way. She went from proper lady to sailor aboard the seahawk ( a ship with a captain hated by all ). I think it is because she preferes being free over being a proper lady. She has realized that freedom is something that is more important than manners and rules. It is something everyone wants but only a few get it because they take the risks that would lead to it. She has realized that life doesn't last for ever so you should live thetime you have the way you want to and not how someone else wants you to life it. To not let anybody be in controll of your life except you. To do things how you like not how others do and want to see you do. I think that if her father saw her at the moment he wouldn't belive that she was his daughter. The daughter that he spent so much money turning her to a proper lady. He would be appauled and dissapointed. To see her turn into someone who was no better off than a commoner.I would have to agree with him. She really was nomore a proper lady.She is a good person but she actually is a quite foolish person as well. She actually only judges people of how her mind thinks they are. She assumes the best in everybody which has brought her only trouble a problems. She thinks that everybody is a good person. But there are some bad people out there. ( Like captain Jaggery. ) She has now become more of a ruffigain. That's my word for someone who likes to ruff it and can do it, someone who is really a sailor person ( fit, athletic and loyal). She has really changed so far. She is a completely different person. She has learned to be her own person now.

P.s: She went from the person her father created to the person at the top ( except for the image I meant on the inside she changed).

The second Lit. circle

120 sixth graders went to their classes. I went to humanities. The humanities classrooms were full of excitement, novels and sheets in hand. People had different feelings on tuesdays now. It was because of litrature circles. For we had them every tuesday. But most of the people were nervous because, people didn't score well on the first litrature circles day. Also because they could make up for their previous score. Although I got the score I had excepted.Ms. Narsiman walked in and silence fell upon the class. Every body was so still and quiet if you walked in you would think that we were all part of a sculpture. Then after a minute of silence we took our seats and began.

One of my passages was when the main character in my book charlotte was having nightmares. I had picked this passage because it made me go back and make my previous argument move convincing. Because I thought that maybe the captian had maybe snuck something into charlottes food. I thought this because of how the author described her nightmares. She explained them as though they weren't natural. As though someone was making them happen. That they were giving here something that controlled them. The author had said that in one of her nightmares she was so scared that she had pulled out the dirk that Zachariah had given her. The dirk that she said she was never going to use. So in my opinion it must have been something strong that he had given her. Because the dirk she had promised to herself was never going to leave it's hiding spot. How we dicussed this changed my understanding. It made me think that Jaggery is a bad man. I thought that the crew must want to murder him. I thought maybe he was the one who would get murdered later on. I thought that the thing that she might be getting was urging her to act barbaric. Urging her enough to throw the dirk like she had. But maybe it was Zachariah. So that really made me think but I decided it was Captian Jaggery. Because he has a very high dispicibility level. That's all that really happened in my disscusion.

Literature circles!

I raced to the library. I was in such a rush because it was the first day of literature circles. Why was I running to the library you ask well I hadn't printed my discussion sheet and I had humanities first period. So as soon as I got into the library's computer lab I snagged the last computer before another student could use the computer. I inserted my flash drive and printed my discussion sheet. Then I looked at the clock it was 8:05 I was late for home group. So I sprinted all the way there. It was now 8:15 it was time to get to humanities.

When I got there I realized that more than one person had forgotten to bring their discussion sheet. Ms. Narsiman walked into the class room and I knew it was time to begin. Since I was the only boy who got the book ''True Confessions Of Charlotte Doyle'' Ms. Narsiman asked me witch group I wanted to join. It was a tough decision so as any other person in my situation would have done I used the method of ini meeni miene mo. I ended up joining Cindy, Betty and Irene's group. When I was settled in Ms. Narsiman went to her desk, and I knew she had cued us to begin.


So I started the group of with my three important passages. When we got past Irene, and cindy I really thought. The litriture circles idea was clearly a great idea I could tell that not only I was getting help from this. Because there were passages I didn't quite understand. After we finished with them I completely understanded those passages I was even making predictions, and relating to them.

Although I really understood the book we still had one more person to go. It was that persons work that really made me think. It was Betty's important passages really made me think what was going to happen next it was at that time that I made a prediction. It was a prediction relating to Zachariah. I thought that Zachariah was trying to get Charlotte on his side so that later on like it said in the introduction that she was accused of murder and found guilty. I had the prediction that maybe Zachariah was going to murder someone using the knife he gave her and put it back in her room. The knife would be drenched in blood and in her room, then he would probably accuse her himself and pretend to find evidence. This could be fake evidence that he set up after he murdered the mystery person. As anyone that would be handed this evidence she would be found guilty as it says she was found guilty in the story when she was taken to court. The disscusion really helped me understand some parts of the book that didn't quite make sense to me. It helped me make several more detailed predictions to. I think that the litrature circles disscusion was a great disscusion I think that not only I found it helpful but I think that others did to. I can't wait to see what happens next in my book. Then share it with my group.
