A Rose For Emily part 1

Today we looked at half of a short story called, "A Rose For Emily". Currently it is describing a short fat girl who is wealthy due to her father. Her father recently passed away but had high status. Emily has a big house but doesn't take care of it or herself. She has a black servant named Tobe and we also learned that she isn't paying any taxes. This is due to her father lending the town some money. I don't know where the story is going next but I will explain the rest tomorrow. I am currently catching up on missing assignments in an attempt to bring my grades up.

 Today we worked on another assignment on Newsela. Today's passage was about how select fast-food industries are violating labor laws. I had no idea that this was a big problem let alone a problem at all. I learned something new and answering the questions was pretty easy. Someone I knew, died today. He and I didn't really get along, but I would never wish this upon anyone. It hasn't been an easy year, so many of my classmates are dying. I will never forget the impact each of them have had on my life.  Rest In Peace, Guillermo.

9/11

 Today we presented our one-pagers in class. It wasn't a block day so not many people got to present. I didn't get to even though I think mine was pretty good.
