This week we focused more on independent reading rather than having Mr. Schoenborn read to us. I feel like i am understanding the book more now that i am reading it and using the audio logs which help me understand what is going on a lot better. Huck is having bad feelings about the duke and the dauphin and tried to slip away from them and just have it be him and Jim and but manage to find their way to them again. I also like the audio logs because i know exactly how much time i will spend reading. At first i did not like Huck Finn but now that i am reading it myself and we are getting deeper in the book i am starting to like it a lot more than i used to. The duke and the dauphin are very smart frauds and manage to screw over multiple towns and almost get away with taking thousands of dollars from Peter Wilk's daughters, but were caught and yet somehow managed to get away.

I learned this week that i take in more information when i am read to and i read along then when i read by myself. I learned this while we were reading Huckleberry Finn. When i read to myself i don't take in all the information that i am reading, and i day dream and don't realize i am still reading. While reading Huckleberry Finn i am learning about how segregated Huck and Jim were to the town and about how the way of life was way back then. Jim and Huck were essentially isolated from the rest of the town, Jim being a slave, and Huck having one "parent" who wasn't nothing but danger to Huck. There is this stereotype in this time of the world that makes Huck and Jim different from everyone else that they are supposed to be like. Jim is supposed to be a slave, and Huck is supposed to have 2 parents and be literate. This we week we got the opportunity to go to the media center and read, which i liked better because i got to listen to the audio logs which help me understand what is happening in the book. This week we continued to talk about how people get alienated and isolated from others, in society. We began to read huckleberry finn. I am learning that huck and jim are together now, seeing as they are alienated from the rest of the town. They figured if they just went on together they could help each other out. I am learning how people talked back in the day in the south. I always thought they talked bad but its actually worse than i thought. They completely disregard black people as a person.Making the blacks segregated from everyone else. |
