Quarter 3 Reflection

I am going to take this opportunity, as I take every one, to complain about Waiting for Godot. The stupidity pf this play makes me so angry. If you were to do something different next year, do not teach Waiting for Godot. That's all I'll say about that for now.

Instead of telling you what I didn't like, I'll tell you what I did:
Anthem (sort of)
A Raisin in the Sun
... yep that's it.
I gave you an assignment for the last quarter reflection which you never turned in. I'll give you one more chance, I would like a reflection from you emailed to me by no later than April 4. 

Racism and Class-ism

I see racism and class-ism every day. As a white student at Bishop Kearney people assume that I live in Brighton or Webster, but I live in the city. I have friends that live in Webster and Greece, and it is very obvious that they are nervous to go to my house. It's funny to see my friends' reactions to kids playing in the street (I live on a dead end) because in the suburbs they play in their giant backyards.They live in all white neighborhoods where every house is basically the same. My neighborhood is diverse. They are not all black and Puerto Rican, a lot of the people on my street are white Italians. I'm sure my perception of the suburbs is different than someone who actually lives in the suburbs, though, just like their perception of the city is different than mine. I see the suburbs as the town in Edward Scissorhands.

Two Quotes

"Here's the Chief. The soo-pah Chief, fellas. Ol' Chief Broom."
This is an important quote because it is the first interaction the protagonist has with anyone else in the ward, and it shows how the protagonist is viewed. t also tells the reader that he is Indian, and his Indian heritage is talked about a lot. It's the first thing people say about him.

"I been silent so long now it's gonna roar out of me like flood waters... But it's the truth even if it didn't happen."
I had to read this a few times, and I still don't quit understand it. I didn't fully get that the protagonist was telling the story of his past, not the present. "But it's the truth even if it didn't happen." makes no sense to me. I think he is either trying to say that it is his truth, or that there are no records or proof that any of this happened.

Clybourne Park Review

I loved Clybourne Park! I am so glad the class went to see it, and I am really glad that there were so many public schools there as well. Part of why I enjoyed the show so much was seeing the different reactions between Kearney and the rest of the audience. We mostly reacted to the characters while the rest of the audience reacted to the jokes. It's interesting that we see the show from a different perspective because of what school we go to.

My favorite characters were Bev/Kathy. Their parts were so funny. I was surprised that there was so little laughter in the first act, I thought it was hilarious. I laughed to my self the entire time, and it was mostly because of Bev. Her character is hilarious! Kathy's little comments were great in the second act. I laughed more at her than I did at the jokes.
