10/31 Tragic Hero

Reflection

There are a couple things i learned today while i was doing the research. I learned that most tragic heroes' lives end with despair or with death. I also learned that both words Tragic Flaws and Tragic Heroes are connected in some ways because the hero has the tragic flaw and that usually makes the hero a tragic hero. i also learned that some heroes have great motives but their views and situations cloud their judgment. I actually have read some stories with tragic heroes for example Romeo in Romeo and Juliet because they have forbidden love which causes their deaths. In this case Love clouded their judgment.

Reflection

                 This passage talks about how many people read stories, poems and other pieces of writing but it is difficult for some of those people to take apart Shakespeare's texts. This passage also talks about how now in this time we have the technology and brain power to decode a lot of Shakespeare's writing. For me this is a very interesting passage, because it seems to be very funny how people now in the 21st century cant understand an text from a long time ago. I am not saying I can i am one of those people but i feel now we can further understand what  Shakespeare meant.

What I have Learned

There are many things I have learned During this Unit. I learned how to write an introduction and i learned that we can create one using a Shocker, Anecdote, or a use of a fact. I also learned how to write a conclusion and how it is very important to write a good one because it leaves a final impression of yourself. Another thing I learned was how important it is to understand myself and to learn how to express myself in a piece of writing.

Bellwork 10/17

BELLWORK

I don't believe that written tests and reading tests are essential to the "real world". I believe that somethings are good to have like self evaluations and small goals to get you where you need to be.

Question
Could I still get accepted into colleges and universities if my SAT scores are low?
