I have noticed that someone is actually a nice person. I always thought they were judgmental and rude, but they ended up being a really nice person. This was in my 3rd period sophomore year. Today we read the letters and answered questions.
The person who influences me the most in a positive way is my dad. He has always taught me to be the bigger person in every situation and how to stay calm. His influence shows up everyday when I face situations where I need to be calm. Today we read the book together and answered some questions.
The mood I was aiming for was sad and gut wrenching. Domestic abuse is always a sad thing to think about and the letter I was on was all about harm and fighting. My editing choices made a message of how it is to picture a scene like this. Today we watched all of the videos from my classmates.
I have received advice from my friends on all types of things that ended up being completely wrong. I learned that my friends can be stupid. Today we read some of the book and started our video project.
My sister when we were growing up always thought she had control over what I do. When she would try to boss me around it would make me really mad. I would tell Harpo to go a different way about it than beating her.
I admire my grandad, he is a strong marine, who is deep in his faith. He is always kind to women, and spreads the good word. I try to be like him everyday. Today we read letters 6-10 and answered questions about them.
The first 5 letters of, "The Color Purple," made me feel sad for the girls that genuinely go through those types of struggles. The letters made a situation like that become so real and it is a scary thought, but also a necessary one. Today we got introduced to the book and read the first 5 letters.
