Book 3: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Okay, my third book is definitely my favorite so far. It's REALLY good. I know that Alex and Lena are reading it too...I'm not sure who else. What do you guys think? It's one of those books that I just can't put down. It's strange because for some reason I thought this book would be my least favorite.

Reading

So I LOVE to read and I have sooo many books I want to read and that I've wanted to read over summer but I haven't been able to because of AP books. Is this a problem for anyone else... or just me?

Book 3

I am reading the same book as Lena, and so far it is quite good. I was wondering, however, if we need to do the Reading Log and Vocab like the last two books? I'm assuming we have to, but it would be great to know for sure before I get too far into the book :)

One whole day of school down, so many more to go... We can do it though! Good luck with homework all of you, I know I'm going to need all the luck I can get...

BOOK THREE :)

So, to be honest, I really, really disliked Pride and Prejudice. I thought that I didn't like Catch-22, but the more I read P&P, the more I realized that Catch-22 isn't so bad. When I looked back on it I thought it was funnier than when I was reading it. It took me forever to read Pride and Prejudice, or so it seemed. I just felt like it kept going, and going, and going, and going, etc. But oh well, on to book three! I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings has started out as a really good book, actually. I was uneasy about it considering the lack of interest in the other two books, but this one has caught my attention. I love Maya and Momma. I'm only on chapter 10, I believe. So far it's wonderful!

Hope everyone else is doing well with their books!

Who else is reading the same as me?
What do you think of it?

Welcome Back!

It was great to see your smiling faces this morning! Hope you had a wonderful first day of your senior year!!

I forgot to mention an exciting Shakespeare opportunity in our own backyard. This week, a performance of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream will be performed at Notre Dame's Washington Hall by the Actors from the London Stage - a professional acting company from London. The performances are Wednesday - Friday, September 8-10. I was thinking about heading down for the Thursday performance since there is a home football game on Friday. The performance is at 7:30 and we will carpool from BHS. If you are interested, please let me know ASAP so I can order tickets. Reply to this post or email me at sconklin@bridgmanschools.com  Student tickets are $12.

For more information about the performance, click on the post title above to be directed to the play's web page.

See you in class on Wednesday!
