Today, we saw the play Frankenstein. In my opinion, it was better that Dracula. I cannot wait to read it. I have some question so hopefully the literary work will help.
A moment where I was mesmerized by nature was when I took a trip to Gatlinburg with my friends. Once we got in the mountains, or what seemed what like mountains, my best friend told me to look out the window; I looked. I saw the trees, they looked as if each layer of trees were on a higher level of elevation. The time of day was close to evening, so the sun set right upon the highest layer of trees. It was also around Christmas time so once we got in the city area there were red and green lights, holiday music playing, and just a cheerful vibe all in all. The layers of trees were even more mesmerizing when night fell and the stars glistened above them, with the moon giving the trees a type of radiance.
Today in class we were asked multiple questions, they were pretty deep. The questions were based on fear. I loved today's conversation because I got to learn more about my peers. I also opened up about things that I fear and am uncomfortable talking about, such as depression. A lot of times, people see depression as a joke or just someone being over dramatic. In actuality, it is real. It effects everyone differently. I do not talk about to anyone much about it because of how they may perceive me or the situation I am going through. I just want everyone that is going through something to know they are not alone, other people are hurting too. It's okay to hurt, the best thing to do is strive for that light at the end of the tunnel, even if it seems to not be there.
In today's class, we discussed out definition of happiness and analyzed the poem Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. This poem inspired me to never be afraid to be proud. A lot of times I feel I cannot celebrate my accomplishments because it will come off as arrogant. Also, we were assigned an task where we have to choose a song by Angelou and analyze it. In addition, we must bring the poem to life through performing. I can't wait!
