Monday, September 23, 2013

Today we started class by getting our homework and talking about revising one of our essays. HW: Read/Annotate chapter 92 and finalize one of our college essays by Friday October 4th. Mrs. Smith told us that we are supposed to take one of our essays that we have written (or write a new one) and finalize it so its ready to be sent off to a college. We have to make time to talk to Mrs. Smith on one of our off hours or after school to sit down and talk about our essay.
We then talked about the reading that was due today and what it meant. We had theories on what was going on.
Theories:
1. Pi has gone crazy
2. Someone else shipwrecked and he was actually talking to someone else.
3. Two different parts of Pi's psyche
  • Civilized
  • Animal/ Primal
We talked about whether or not Pi was going in and out of sanity and if that was possible.
We then watched life of Pi and talked about how the chapters we just read were not even portrayed in the movie. After that we started reading chapter 92 till the bell rang.
