Color purple review
My overall review on the color purple, it was a fantastic novel that teaches many lessons,throughout it, life lessons and morals for the readers of the novel. The novel had an amazing plot and I recommend to anyone in the future to take time and read it, the novel all together is great and it was great to read as a class im happy i was able to part take in such a great novel.
Compare and contrast color purple
A comparison between The Color Purple book, and. The Color Purple movie, are majority of the scenes, such as the scene when Ceilie and Mr.____ and Shug are in the JukeJoint dancing and singing
And Sofia walks in with her new man and Harpo was with his with new girl known as Squeak and Sofia and Squeak Get into a conflict and Sofia punches Squeak inside the water and a fight breaks out and Celie and Shug sneak off into into Mr._____ house and have a intimate moment.Thats a huge comparison between the book and the film.
The difference between the the book and movie is the different scenes throughout both works. In the book it shows different scenes in the book and also vice versa with the movie, because the book goes into deeper detail about most things and it was worded differently. The movie gets straight to the point with some scenes,and some scenes are completely different like how in the book when shug is with a new man and confesses her love for Mr.____ but in the movie that doesn’t happen,so different scenes and different events make the movie and book different.

Letter to author
Dear, Ralph Ellison
I would love to say i am enjoying the book as i read, i see and read many things that you have said, you have made great points and have pointed things out that many people overlook or take up in reality. You speak alot on racism and the way you try to project it into your book is amazing,because you talk about one thing which might’ve have a different meaning to what it actually means. For example with the blind men, the men were blind to many things, they were blind to how people see them,their surroundings,their lives but the narrator was blind but he could see a little bit and could see the things happening to the African American community. Stereotypes are described throughout the book as well, many are and the way it is shown to us the book many people may not take it into consideration about it but your book helps us see it. Thats what I wanted to let you know about your book.
Sincerely,BreShea Carter

Chapter 7 Invisible Man questions
1. The vet uses a metaphor in order to tell the narrator to see things the way they really are.
2. The vet is telling the narrator to control his own fate. He is telling him to make his own rules instead of having people do them for him.
3. The narrator alludes to the story of Jonah in the bible. He feels as though coming to Harlem is him being thrown up from the belly of a whale.
Class work 3-7-18
Themes
1.) judgement- a very important part of the book associates with the relationship between black and white people, with blacks being judged by the white mans eye and being invisible to one another.
2.) Deception- Although its not clearly shown deception is between the characters, it is between the characters Dr.Bledsoe and the Narrator.
3.) Suffering- suffering is accuring within the narrator and his flash backs although he is not showing it, it is happening and the reader can depict that.
“I Too”- In the time of this story, black people were transitioning from being slaves in that time. In the poem langston stated that he would be able to be around whites without being judged because of his skin color.
“Refugee in America”- This poem shows that he will be free to be around white people,although he will still have many restrictions that, he should still have respect and not get too out of hand.

Book response
Frankenstein was a very good book i feel as if it had some very good themes that peoplw can completely relate to with bullying and not judging a book by its cover and morw and how like God id our creator and how some people don’t have a relationship with God our creator it was like Frankenstein because he was the monsters creator and he had no relationship with his creation. The book Frankenstein was a book that appealed greatly to ones emotions saying such emotions that the reader could connect to such as anger,sadness,depression,and more. Shelbey has done a wonderful job with the structure of the book,with the characters and the plot,themes,and even more

psalm 91
in psalm 91 it shoes that onece you know you have jesus in your life that one can become saved and fhat one will see that one who has sinned time may come early or be punished for their sins
entry 5
the pardoners tale was one of my favorites because it teaches a lesson that greed can be the root to all evil because the three rioters went kn a voyage to find gold but the mindset of having the gold got their heads causeing them to change on one another and injure and kill one another
essay feedback
What i think i made on my in class essay about king lear is probably a low grade because i did not get a chance to finish and i felt as if some of my sentences where repetitive and talked about the same things but alsk i felt as if i did good because i planned and had a few ideas and more information to talk about
Entry 3
My take on act three I believe that gonireal and reagan should have never teamed up with one another because I believe that reagan should have let goneril be mean and hateful by her self reagan had a chance to be on their fathers good side because after gonireal was mean Leae turned to reagan but reagan also betrayed him which was also very hateful for her to do when her father needed her help the most
King lear entry 2
in the second act of king lear kent and oswald get into a confrontation,majority if this act they are arguing and also kent was threatening oswald with a sword and oswald yelled murder.During this specific scene it sounded as if oswald was on to kent diguise because in act one kent was recently exiled and came back to the kingdom to be a loyal servent for the king mear
King lear entry one
The first couple of scts in the play king lear talked about how the king learntrued to offer cordilla,goniral,and reagan his land,reagan and gonirel took it,but cordelia did not take it and lear got infuriated with her because she wanted to be kind so he banished her and a yoing man know by kent spoke up and told the king that was a very big mstake amd the king got mad with kent,and the king banished him as well.So the king disowned cordelia and when the kingdoms came to choose a wife france came and got cordelia.

Macbeth journal entry 3
in this Act,Act 3 of Macbeth it talks about hoe Macbeth has found out Banquo thinks he is acting suspicious,and thinks Macbeth killed the king instead of a guard.Macbeth also found out Banquo also knew of the witches prophecies. Also Macbeth gathered two murders to murder Banquo because Macbeth didn’t want to do it because of the fact he did not want to loose his friends,so the murders were told to kill Banquo and once Banquo did die,he told Fleance to advenge his death. This particular part of Act 3 showed me that, even if you are scared to do something do it,or get other people to do it,because even though you physically had anything to do with it you are still an associate ,so don’t interact with bad

Act 2 Macbeth journal entry
In the second Act of Macbeth it goes to inform us about how Macbeth commited a murder on the king using a nights dagger leaving it bloody ,and with Lady Macbeth being appalled by the actions.In this act, i feel like if Macbeth used the nights dagger the night should not leave such objects when knowing they should protect the King ,and by Macbeth leaving the dagger it makes it look like one of the nights did it,then Lady Macbeth by her knowing she should have turned him in or said something,because just by her knowing what he did she is involved in the crime.
Macbeth journal entry #1
In ACT1 of Macbeth,it goes on to show us three witches who know Macbeth and go on to somewhat curse his future and tell him of his future.In this Act i felt as if the witches should have left Macbeth alone,because Macbeth would have probably had a better chance of letting his future hit im but not letting the witches cast different spells,and tell him wnat his future may consist of. Thats my feed kn the first act if Macbeth.

Psalm verse analysis
Psalm 121King James Version (KJV)
121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Line1: When saying, “i will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help”. This is saying that a person who may be in need of help,may be asking from help from the heavens.
Line2: This line means,that a person knows that when they look up that their help is coming from the lord, the creator of the heavens and earth.
Line3: This line meaning that the lord will not force ones foot to move and that whoever he keeps will never make it to eternity.
Line4: I think that this line is meaning that whoever probably dictates and makes the israelites as slave shall not meet eternity.
Line5: This line is stating that the lord will always shelter you in his spirit form
Line6: This line is stating not the sun or the moon will upset that person
Line7: This line is saying that the Lord will always have you and he shall save your soul and keep you from all evil.
Line8;This line states that the lord will keep evil and danger from coming in your life, forevermore.
