Today was the last day to complete missing assignments. I spent the class period working on my final projects and missing assignments as per usual. After the class period was over we went to 3rd period and then lunch. I brought my crab cakes too school and they were really good. Though the taste seemed a bit off/faded out because they have been sitting in the fridge for almost 2(?) weeks because I forgot about them. It's a good thing that I brought food to school to warm up because I won't be eating much at home since our microwave almost caught on fire/stopped working right this morning. I hope it can get fixed soon.
Today we did presentations of our group projects about countries in Asia. The countries presented were Thailand, North Korea, China, South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan. Some of the things in the presentations I knew already and some of the information presented was new to me. For example I was not aware that Thailand had temples or tribal villages. Some things I learned while doing our presentation on North Korea was that 3 languages most commonly spoken there are Korean, Chinese, and Russian, but most of the population is proficient in Korean.
Today we saw the first half of the fences movie, and answered the rest of the Illuminate questions while watching it. Surprisingly, the teacher was right about the lines in the play being the same as the lines in the movie, because that isn't something you usually see happen in films of literature. But something different in the film that I noticed is that the locations of the scenes changed. I thought they were outside the house the entire play, but in the movie, they went in and out of it, on the street, around the neighborhood, and other places. Also something I learned was that Troy is a morally ambiguous character because his thoughts and actions throughout the play make the audience question where his moral standing is.
