Black Boy is an awesome novel. The biggest lesson in the novel is racism from each race. It shows how African Americans were treated years ago. Humanity was hypocritical and still is today. This novel is a life lesson to many races especially African Americans. Also, education is every important in novel because with education one can become anything. Furthermore, when you stand for what you believe things will go much smoother. Naturalism also occurs in this novel as well. Richard is taught by people around him and it's not who he wants to be.

Reflection: Today, my class started reading a new book called Fences. The characters are what makes the book funny. I like the fact that Troy is blunt and real. He also has a sense of humor. My least favorite character right now is Lyon. He doesn't want to go out and make money himself. He is not into the manhood yet. Daily post: It's Valentine's day of course and I enjoyed my day. I recieved many things from bath and body works. My boyfriend surprised me at work today with many gifts.

Reflection: By us going over words in class will help us on the Exam. We now the difference in moments and events. They are very similar but are seen in different ways. Also, the novel The Color Purple will help us with question 3 on the exam. Daily post: Today started off as rough for me . I tried to take pills for my back pains but I threw them up. I am a horrible pill taker. As the day went on, it got better. I went Valentine's day shopping for my family.

Reflection: The lesson in Mr. Rease class was great! He is always teaching us new things. He is teaching us how to write a good paper step by step. I feel that I will do okay on the AP Exam. The Color Putple will help me answer many prompts. Daily post: Today was an interesting day. We learned something new in math class as always. Also, I got to drive to school for the first time. I went to the doctor and now I have to take 4 pills every day. UGH! Hopefully, I feel better soon.

Reflection: Celie is now very upset that Mister hid the letters. She changes her writing from "Dear God " to "Dear Nettie". Shug is on celie side and believes that she should leave Mister for all the wrong he has done. Celie finds courage to confronts Mister and she now wants to kill him. Daily post: Today was a relaxing day for me. My mom went out of town so I had to cook dinner. Also, I got to talk with my older sister for a hour. She's always busy with college and work. Also, my siblings and I made a cake. It was so delicious omg.

Reflection: I am now on page 155 ans the novel is amazing. As celie read the letters she has a hard time with words. She is also very upset. She has the right to be upset because Mr. hid the letters from her. He had her think Nettie was dead and now she wants to kill him. As I was reading this novel, my emotions changed from upset to happy. Daily post: Over the weekend I took the ACT test. I studied long hours. After the test, my family cooked up a seafood boil. They are all proud of me And so am I. My mom took me shopping for shoes ans prom dresses. I am not ready for school tomorrow but hopefully something amazing will happen.

Reflection: So far all of the characters are growing and gaining much knowledge. The readers now know that Nettie isn't dead after all. Mr was hiding her letters that she sent to Celie. A good reason for him to do this is because Nettie turned him down. This novel teaches many life lessons and I am excited that we chose this book. Daily post: Today I got to go over ACT material with my math teacher. Also, I been studying for 2 hours trying to prepare myself for the test. I have to get up at 7 a.m. tomorrow.  I would be devastated if I don't make a good grade. Fingers crossed and wish me luck.

Reflection: In this novel, I have come to learn that one doesn't have to be mean when they are getting treated wrong. Celie finds the letters that her sister has been sending her. At this point,  she should have stood up to Mr. And told him how she feels. This was really wrong of him because Celie thought Nettie was dead. Daily post: My bestfriend and I got into another argument.  Today she was being very bougie. We talked out our problems by spending a day at the nail salon. Also, Mr. Rease helped me write a good body paragraph. We went over AP prompts and it gave me a better understanding what the AP Exam is going to be like.

Reflection: Celie is a good person with a kind heart. I didnt like how Sofia was away from her children and family for 3 years. This kind of came off as her being a bad mother. I did like how Squeak wanted to help her out after everything. I believe Squeak really loves Harpo but he doesn't love her. Daily post: Let's see where can I start... ok so today I went to see my friend Johnathan sign over to University of A&M. It was a big celebration and he had plenty of supporters. My math teacher got upset because we went to the celebration. After school, we had a NHS meeting and it was boring like always.

Reflection: I am now on pg.110 in The Color Purple. I feel that Celie is being way to nice to Harpo when he comes over. She tucks him in bed after all he had done to her. This can also show that she is really a nice person. I feel bad for Sofia and her family. She has been in jail for 3 years and only sees her children once a year. I believe the Mayor's wife will come around to like Sofia later. Hopefully, they will let her free. Daily post: Today was a fun day for me. We had a free day in math class. We went to see the Hi-Q teams compete against each other. Also, I was super happy it didn't rain on me today while walking home. I got great news that I suppose to be getting a car soon. Omg! I am so happy .

Today was a calm day for me . I love going to my math and Literature class. In math we learn some new every day so I was excited. In Mr.Rease class we went over some old AP exams. I was frustrated because I'm not able to comprehend poems like everyone else. Also, i got rained on because I had to walk home.

I really enjoyed myself today. Today I got to write a letter as Sofia's sister. Also, I met with people from University of South Alabama.  I plan on attending there for fall 2019. I went out to eat for my friend Ariel birthday. I had an amazing time omg. She looked so beautiful.  I enjoyed spending time with her friends and family.

Reflection: Shug Avery was now in town. Mr. tried to do everything he could to please her. Shug is a carefree, blunt, and rebellious woman. When Celie first meet her she is overwhelmed with joy, until Shug calls her UGLY . I believe she is a very nice person and she is seen to be mean because she is sick. Day5: Today was amazing. I learned all about literary 3×3 in AP Literature. Also, me and my bestfriend got into it. She was upset because I didn't sit by her while we took senior pictures. In addition, I came home and did my homework. Usually,  I'll take a nap first but, not today. 3×3: Love destroys power Friendship abandons trust Respect survive revenge

Reflection: Mr. Hears that Shug Avery is coming to town. He stops working out in the field and stops helping Celie. He becomes very depressed and sad. By Celie not caring how Mr. feels this show they have a bad relationship. He talks to Harpo like he does Celie. This shows he doesn't have a good relationship with Harpo. Also I think it was dumb how Harpo went to beat Sofia. He knew she was strong minded and confident. Day4: My day was ok like always. The most exciting thing about my day is waking up.  I love learning new things in my math class although I be sleepy. Also, today we had chili for lunch because of this cold weather.

My weekend was great! I stayed in the house the whole weekend and caught up on my shows. Basically, my weekend was a chill time for me. I was off from work the entire weekend. yay! I received good news on getting a car . I'm very excited and hopefully next weekend will be more exciting than this one.

In the Color Purple Mr. Wants to marry Nettie but her father will not let him. He wants Mr. to marry Celie because he says she is no good. This made Celie feel bad about herself. In the marriage, Celie has to do a lot of work. She has no say so in the marriage. Day2: Today my day was okay. I became sick and did not go to school. I stayed home eating soup and resting. The exciting part of my day was going to work and getting sent home.

In the Letters 1-8, I have learned that a young girl name Celie was raped by her father, Fonso. Fonso also impregnated the young girl. Reading the letters made me angry and sad. I liked how Celie watched after her little sister Nettie. It shows she is a good big sister. Day 1: I had a good day today. In AP Literature we started reading the book The Color Purple.  I love this film so I am very excited to read the novel. I also went to the AB honor roll prep rally. We honored Rodney Hudson for his good work. I had an amazing time.

The experience of creating Senoj was very exciting. We loved the idea of being able to create our own monster and tell its history. Although it was difficult to come up with a background for a story and a look for it, we still found a way. Doing this project also taught us how creative we are and how to communicate good. Each one of my group members contributed into the project. It was a very fun productive group activity. We all had postive vibes and good imaginations.

Senoj was a young kid who went to Calloway. He was a sweet, quiet kid who rarely talked to anyone if he didn’t have to. This is what made kids bully and pick on him. One day his class took a field trip to a lake near by. Senoj sat by the lake by himself. A couple of the kids thought it would be funny to push him in the water. Everyone crowds around him. Out of nowhere one of the bigger boys push him in the water.He started to drown immediately. Someone says help him but no one helps. All of the kids go back to the field trip area. As the kids get on the bus the teacher asks has anyone seen Senoj. No one answers. Then a girl says he didn’t come to school today and they leave. Senoj’s body washes up in a grassy field on side of the lake. An old man finds the boy and takes him home. The man specializes in black magic and uses it to find out how the boy died. He casts a spell that brought the boy back a terrible cost. When the boy is brought to life he is surrounded by mag...
