Second installment...
... so... choose one of your favorite journal entries from Into the Wild and explain why it is your favorite...
Format it like this:
Quote from the book:
(If it is a direct quote, please indicate who said it, and if it contains any inappropriate wording, please "bleep" it.)
Journal entry:
Why is it your favorite?
**Don't forget to let me know who you are by your first name and last initial (sometimes your user names aren't obvious to me and your pictures are hard to recognize.)

Time to get started...
Here we go a-blogging...
A blog is literally a "web log" or a journal online. As AP English 11 students, you will be asked to respond to different writing in an intellectual way. This blog is a forum for "fleshing out" those ideas. It is a place where you can brainstorm with your peers from your class as well as from the other AP 11 class. Please be respectful of one another and be tolerant of opinions that are contradictory to your own. You do not have to agree, but you also don't have to be rude about it. Other than that, very little is off limits. However, keep it school appropriate... :)
First installment:
Let's talk about Into the Wild...
Chapter 2 of Into the Wild focuses on facts about Chris's end, and chapter 3 focuses on the beginning of Chris's "oddyssey"... Why does Krakauer tell the reader the end before the beginning? What effect does knowing the end have on the reader? In your opinion, is it effective?
Explain what you think the purpose of the excerpts at the beginning of each chapter are all about...
What is your opinion of why Chris changed his name to Alexander Supertramp? What is the significance of the name and the name change?

Welcome to AP English!
This blog is available for you to not only get help from me, but also to get help from one another.
Please feel free to ask any questions, make any comments, or share your thoughts on this blog, but please remember to be courteous, respectful, and considerate to others' thoughts and feelings.
With regard to the summer assignment... remember that it is far easier to spread it out and get it finished a little at a time than waiting until the last minute and stressing out about it.
Also please email me at your earliest convenience so that I have your email address this summer just in case something comes up. My email address is on your summer assignment packet and also on the Green Run website.
Happy reading!
