ISU

       For this blog, I have chosen to talk about my ISU novel. I'm excited to get into this novel because I'm very interested in learning about other countries cultures. Mine is about poverty in the US. I'm curious as to how they deal with these different struggles in a community with not a lot of money, food, or family.

Is Shakespeare Necessary To Read In Hishschool?

   In my opinion, I dont find it necessary to have to read Shakespeare in highschool english classes. It's difficult to understand the language, there are plenty of novels to read that you need to go into depth to in order to understand the story. Some people able to understand Shakespeare more than others which personally I find to be an unfair advantage compared to people that maybe need a book with more common language.

Money and Fortune

Throughout reading the play, I've noticed that one of the most obvious symbols is fortune. In this particular neighbourhood money seems to play a huge role. The characters all seem to get along fairly well now. However I cant help but think that eventually the money will drive them apart. Will the sisters share the money or will none of them win it? Or will one of them win it but run away with it all in the end? These questions circulate in the back of my head as I read. What do you think?

The Rez Sisters

For my first blog I chose to go into depth about the rez sisters. I'm curious as to what this play is about. When I think of native reserves I think of an area separated from other towns, having their own community, making their own clothes and fishing for their own food. At least that's what other books and movies perceive to be true. I'm curious as to whether other books and my thoughts and ideas are similar to what this play in particular is about.
