Amanda Wingfield vs Dorless Umbridge

For the first week of October, the class' assignment was to read The Glass Menagerie and watch the movie in class. At first I thought it was going to be a boring movie, but it was not that boring actually. The actors in the movie that played each of the characters in the play were played exactly right but with more passion in the movie than the play. Especially the woman in the movie that played the role of Amanda Wingfield. She reminded me of the woman in the Harry Potter book and movie series, Dorless Umbridge. Both Amanda and Dorless have the same personality. For example, both of them have an uptight and bossy personality to make sure everything is in order. Also, they have a bad attitude towards the people that are around them often like Tom and Laura is around Amanda while Harry is around Dorless. But, both of them act kinder to the people that are not around often like Jim to Amanda and the Ministryn of Magic to Dorless.

The Right Blog

To be truthfully honest, I am not really good at making blogs. The reason why is that is the first time I had to something in class or outside of class that requires blogs. But, thanks to Mr.Sweeney's help, I think I have caught the grasp of making blogs. At first, I did not know if this event would be consider out of class or a not a good enough event. But, on September 14th, the cross country and track team went up to Fort Lee for some training. I wanted to train with the team, but I could not because I was still on crutches. The reason why is because I bruise my left femur bone on September 7th.  While at Fort Lee, me, Coach High, and Coach Zelinksi joked a little for a little bit because I was coming down the hill with my crutches. I was not completely bored because I did the same workouts as my other teammates were doing,  but I did the workouts while I was on crutches. To me, I thought that was a good Saturday, just getting from school for a while and be out there with nature was awesome. On the bright side of that, the sun was shining great and the wind was breezy. On Monday, I did not know whereto going to Fort Lee was an beyond class event. So, I asked Mr.Sweeney about it and he said that would be consider an beyond class activity.
