READING AND THINKING TOGETHER

It's one thing to read a book on your own.  But when you share your thinking with others, some interesting thing happens.  I work in a literature circle with 5 other people.  On Monday we are going to try to catch up with our work and try and catch up with our reading as well.

WRITING ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH

     The story Katha Upanished was an allegory in my opinion because it has a meaning to the story. The meaning is that death doesn't like talking about people dying. Also that teenagers should be more like Katha because he was determined to find the answer and did not get bribed by death with all the things that would make many teens happy but all he wanted was the answer to death. The story of Kaths Upanishad is about a boy who wanted to know what happened to people when they died.      In the story there is a boy named Nachikita who wanted to be a sacrifice to the gods since he was the family’s most valued thing to be sacrificed. Soon he goes to go visit death and asks him wat happens when someone dies. The character of death was showed as a person That has the power to grant wishes which are called boons. Death is something that cannot be explained because no one will ever know which religion might have it right if u go to heaven or hell or get resurre...

THOSE WHO DO NOT WEEP, DO NOT SEE

Q:  What do you think people should care more about in 2019 America?  Explain the issue, why it matters, and why you think people should be more mindful. My Opinion: Something that people care about is money, work, economy, and the thought of them trying to make everyone happy. Also everyone cares about what others say about them they take it up the wrong way, like people get mad because they say something about who they are, where they come from or what gender they are. For example I don’t make fun of people because they are related to someone bad or because they are from a different country or religion.

Many people think that way like there were bad people who did bad things and instead of blaming them for what they did they blamed the people who come from that place and the religion they’re from. Everybody should start looking ...

Essay Du Jean Valjean

      I believe that Jean Valjean is a dynamic character because he goes through changes throughout the book. Jean Valjean is a main character in the book les miserables he has gone through changes that no other character has done so. The character has gone through 3 major changes in the story so far.       Jean Valjean first change was when he met the bishop of Digne. He was a ex convict who was treated unfairly and did not care about any thing. He was a character that has lost all hope because of the way he was treated. One day he was looking for a place to stay but no one would take him in until a lady told him about the bishop and that he’ll help anyone who goes to him no matter who they are. Jean Valjean went of to the bishops home in look for hospitality. Once he arrive there he said who he was and why people denied him hospitality. The bishop opened his doors to Jean Valjean and treated him with kindness such as if it were his own family. Jean Valj...
