English today was... interesting.
We were talking about symbolism and how tangible things can represent intangible things, and so the teacher had us compile a class list of each. Our tangible list went something like,
Lamp
Girl
Pencil
Burger
Paper
Pants
After someone said "armpit" she moved on to intangible.
People were saying things like this,
Love
Happiness
Memories
Strength
Power
Pain
Death
Which made the next person say "torture", which I guess is technically incorrect, so she moved us on.
We had to use symbolism and say (tangible) is like (intangible) because...
Mine was, "Pencils are like death because you can be stabbed to death with a pencil."
Don't judge. By this point I was finding all of this hilarious and my brain was really loopy and my head hurt. I only had about an hour and a half of sleep last night, at 10pm last night my brother tackled me and slammed my head into the wall, and by the time I got to English class, since I hadn't had time to eat breakfast this morning, there had been no food in my stomach for 19 hours since dinner and I was about to pass out. Plus, lunch is right in the middle of that class, so by that point it was only 20 minutes away and all I could think about was food.
Now that I've eaten and I don't have a headache I don't really know what I was thinking.
Oh my gosh, haha. I sometimes have days where I say everything I'm thinking. For example on Wednesday in English I put my hand up to answer the question about The Lord of the Flies on why Jack didn't want to kill the pig. Obviously he didn't want to kill it because it's a living thing but I was also thinking that he was maybe a little bit scared so I said that though I don't think he was scared......Yeah I hate days like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I finally have the time to respond to this xD. Those kinds of days really stink. But I thought he was scared when I read that book, too, so you're not alone on that.
ReplyDeleteOh googly eyed cupcakes. That's really funny and sad at the same time. I am so proud of you McKenna.
