Class Response

In class we started reading short stories. At first I did not want to read them because the looked really long and uninteresting. On to of reading the short stories we had been assigned a project that we had to do on the story you where assigned. The short story I was assigned  was the lottery by Shirley and I worked with Malik, Dominique, and Magdalena on the project.we were the first group to present and I sorta felt like we were given no time to do the project and because of that I really stressed my partners on getting the work done in a timely matter. Working in groups usually don't work out for me because most of them time I end up doing the work by myself and in this case I did. That also reflects in the presentation because you get up there and only one person in the group knows whats going on in the slide show and it ends up being a mess. I was happy that we were allowed to do brag sheets so that I can express my lack of help. During the duration of all the presentations the short stories turned out to be actually really Interesting with a twist at the end. My story the lottery ended up with a lady getting stoned by the village she lived in. Now we have an essay on the short stories and how they relate to current events. I think i'm going to choose everyday use and the sniper because they deal with family relation ships and about culture and the beliefs  you have that tear you apart from your family. During the Socratic seminar today I got a lot of ideas to put in my essay because I only had the beginning of an idea and not a whole one but with hearing the Socratic seminar ideas I have developed more ideas to write in my essay. This time I was not able to participate in the seminar because I was unprepared but next seminar I will be more prepared to be apart of it.
