Sorry guys for the late post! This is going
to be the first blog that is going to be posted for this year Lit class. Yay!
So I thought I should start with an interesting fact. “Dead by the age of 80, a
man named Michael Tolotos was rumored never to have seen a woman in his whole
life, and he wasn’t blind”. I don’t know how he could call himself, “man”.
Yesterday we began our class by arranging our desks in circular formation with a dot in
the middle (me). We also decided that whoever is in the circle should be the
one posting the blog that night (also me). Unfortunately, without knowing this,
I became the “first” author of the blog.
It was a glorious day for receiving marble and
I think we are going to win the party (keep up the good work)! Mrs.Loconte went
over the Anglo-Saxon period with us and events like Dark Ages and how we do not
call it the “Dark Ages” ages anymore. Sorry, I do not remember the reason why.
Later,
Ms. Ho came in and took her time to help change our courses. Then Rachel
suggested a name for our blog, “Chaucer’s Children” which I just realized it
was already our blog title. We also went over 10 questions of our homework in
lightening speed and managed to be diligent students. Lastly, we had to do a
writing assignment on poetry and its topic was The Convergence of the Twain. Our objective was to write an irony
of this poetry. I don’t know about everyone else, but it took me around 10
minutes to just think. Well in the end, it was a happy ending that we all managed
to hand them in.. I think.
