The Lit. Circle Duo Review

   For our latest Literature Circle in Humanities, we had to work with a pre-assigned classmate on the worksheet. The benefits of working with another student were that there wasn't as much work to do, and it could be edited by another person on Google Docs. A challenge I had to overcome was not being worried when my partner wasn't doing it when I checked. The night before it was due, my partner still hadn't completed their share of the work and I was worried that the assignment wouldn't be complete the next day. But I thought about it and I knew that my partner would eventually do their part. I didn't really get any new understandings on the book, so if I said I did, I would be telling an untruth.

Literature Circle Reflection

      My groups discussion did not improve my understanding of the book Hatchet. I already had a full understanding of the story and had no questions about my understanding of the book. A key idea we discussed was Brian's motivation in the story. We talked about what would have happened if he wasn't able to stay motivated and how he had become a stronger person by staying motivated.
      I connected to how Brian reacted to both the advice from his teacher, Perpich, and the hatchet his mother gave him. I said that I would probably think " yeah, whatever," and forget about the advice and the hatchet.
     I predict that Brian will be found by search parties in the end and live happily ever after, like in most stories. But I think that before that, something very big will happen, like a giant bear coming and attacking him, injuring him badly. Or maybe, Brian will get sick from something he ate and go into delirium. All I can say is, something bad will most likely happen to him sooner or later, the author had to put some drama into the story, not just have Brian going around finding food and sleeping. There has to be some action in a story for it to be successful.

Symmetry in KL

           I took this picture of a pink highlighter. This highlighter has one line of symmetry going from the top to the bottom. The line of symmetry intersects the pocket clip.
