what is stronger
than the human heart
which shatters over and over
and still lives
~rupi kaur, page 109
Like Meena Alexander, rupi kaur's writing is reflective of her human condition. With relative ease, Alexander and kaur both string words together to construct beauty and meaning. At first glance, both are just stories - just poems. But upon further examination they are our stories of heartache, our stories of loss, our stories of fear, our stories of change. (See what I did there?)
Tomorrow you are expected to have your rhetorical precis for Fault Lines. That will be turned in when you arrive to class.
I hope to see some of your people tonight at Open House. It runs from 6-8pm! (And, y'all Grey's Anatomy is on...life is all about difficult choices.)
Anyhoo, read and write and dance and live and learn.
Love and Light,
Beltran
Today's Song: Beyonce's "Love on Top" with a little "Halo" and slo mo dancing for some classes...
Hope to be back tomorrow. I miss this class!!
ReplyDeleteWOW my mind was BLOWN in class today. I missed so many details in this piece. I know from now on I need to read more in between the lines and look for more connections within a piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteAnaphora?
ReplyDelete^
DeleteAwesome class today
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed class today and showing me everything I missed and would've never thought of!
ReplyDeleteDancing today was so fun, can't wait for SAS tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGrey's > Open House
ReplyDeleteClass was so interesting today, I really got to use my brain and get to know this piece a little more. It showed me all the things I have missed when reading. I can't wait to hear what people say for SAS tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMy copy of the passage looks like something out of those murder mystery movies where the detective pins clues onto a cork board and links them together with string. Long description, I know. Great knocking down all the expo markers today!
ReplyDeletepedantic?
DeleteThat was a spicy anaphora. I don't think either of my parents are going to open house, but I told my dad that if he goes he should be ready for a good time in period 4.
ReplyDeletespicy. i love that.
DeleteI got goosebumps while reading page 109 from the sun and her flowers. Just, wow. So good! I can't wait to buy my own copy of the book soon, I am too excited.
ReplyDeleteI love Grey's Anatomy McDreamy forever lives.
ReplyDeleteRhetorical Precis confuse me but this worksheet with the outline helps me visualize them, so thanks Mrs.B.
ReplyDeleteSAS!!!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh LOT, a true classic!
ReplyDeleteMiss you, Jaxon! LOT for life.
DeleteHow is this even a question? Life is too short for you to miss Grey's because of open house.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for SAS tomorrow, good luck to those who are presenting!!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or can you sometimes hear Rupi's silky voice when you read her work. I feel like I am having a conversation with her, which is what all good books should make you feel.
ReplyDeleteRiggs and Meredith all the way!
ReplyDeleteI freaking love greys anatomy and I can’t wait to learn about new random things tomorrow in class!
ReplyDeleteLove on top! The best <3
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to some more SAS presentations tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteawww!! i'm so bummed that i won't be able to hear all the SAS's tomorrow! :(((
ReplyDeleteWish I could go class tomorrow, I really enjoy SAS and how people express there thoughts through presenting for the whole class to hear. Thank you for another great day!
ReplyDeleteI loved making more connections this week and today in class! I can't wait for SAS presentations tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMy mom went to my classes tonight, like me she really enjoyed yours. Loved the Beyoncé choice for today’s songs!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for class today! I think our class has had really fun SAS's and I actually learn about stufff that doesn't normally cross my mind to learn about!
