Watership Down (ID)

Currently in my so called government class we are watching a film called Watership Down. To sum it up, the movie is an animation showing the civilization and government structure of rabbits. Even though it is an animation and cartoonish, it is nothing like you would expect and not for children.

We have finished the film and are working on a project based on the film. For the project the class has to answer questions while making a book. The book includes a cover page with a cool illustration, a table of contents, and the rest of the pages are answering the questions. This is what we are cureently learning and doing in Government class.

Heart of Darkness (CRR)

I am writing about my confusing on the Heart of Darkness book we are currently reading in Honors English. The book is centered on two characters named Marlow and Kurtz and is written in Marlow's point of view. Marlow's point of view includes how he views the world, what he thinks of Kurtz, and his journey down a river that he calls the Heart of Darkness.

Confusion comes when I read the book. Especially when reading it alone and not with my fellow classmates. This confusion not only comes from me but my classmates as well. I believe its due to the way the author Joseph Conrad chose to write the book, as in his word choices and how he chooses to describe things within the book. I understand the book at some parts and then the rest of the book is a huge question mark. To get to the point, I disliked this book due to confusion and hope the next book is interesting and understandable.
