The Miracle Worker - Act 2
The THEME of Act 2 is:
Pity can interfere with the discipline that learning requires.
Explanation:
What does Annie say is Helen's greatest handicap? Her family's pity. And what does she mean when she says, "Obedience is the gateway through which knowledge enters the mind of the child?" She means that children have to be disciplined (learn to sit still and listen!) before they can be taught. So, since the Kellers pity Helen, they don't discipline her; therefore, she cannot be taught. Make sense?

English essay questions
1. Fifty years have taken place between the events of the story and the time that Montresor narrates them. Why do you think the story takes place in the distant past instead of being narrated right after the events occurred?
Setting the events of the story fifty years in the past 1) allows Montresor and the reader to know that Montresor got away with his crime; 2) intensifies the eeriness of the story in that Montresor remembers precise events and conversations fifty years after they took place; 3) makes it clear that Montresor's hatred for Fortunato has not mellowed with time.
2. Do you think Montresor is in his right mind or does he seem unbalanced? Support your answer.
Answers will vary, depending on your opinion, but you must support your answer! Possible answers include:
He is in his right mind because he takes pains to cover his crime to avoid detection; he recalls every detail of the crime, indicating that his mind was, and is, clear; he has been able to manage his life successfully for fifty years.
He is not in his right mind because he thinks an insult is worthy of death; he never reveals the nature of the insult, apparently believing that it doesn't matter; he expects the reader to agree with his actions and to feel that he was justified in them; he gets great pleasure from hearing Fortunato rattle his chains and scream; he recalls every detail of the crime, indicating an obsession with the deed.

Please know that every week, your vocabulary workbook lesson is due on the second day of the week. Usually it will be Tuesday, but since Monday was a holiday, this week's vocab homework was due Wednesday. If you know you will be absent, go ahead and do your vocabulary homework. Remember, I count homework as all or nothing. I do not give partial credit for doing only part of the homework. The students have been told this several times. This homework grade should be the easiest grade to earn; however, I have given several zeros for students not having their homework completed! The Lady, Or The Tiger? test will be given next week.

Yay! It's the beginning of your senior year! Coach Avant and I are excited to be your senior sponsors and I think we will have a lot of fun this year. We have voted on senior class officers and had a three way tie for treasurer. Once those re-votes are counted, I will post all the officers online and in the classroom. Steve Stubblefield met with the seniors Friday afternoon (August 16) to talk about senior portraits. He will be emailing information to all parents and seniors, so please make sure each senior knows his or her parents' email addresses! Homecoming is early this year, so we have a lot to do to prepare. The senior class chose Jazz as the theme for their float, so start thinking about your jazz costume. It must be school-appropriate. We also need to start thinking about a Homecoming song. Homecoming is the first time you are formally presented as a senior class, so this is an important moment!

COMPUTER - It's a new school year! :)
I know you are all excited to begin the last year of your high school career! We will do a lot in this class this year and I hope you learn a lot. The first week we worked on creating resumes. These resumes will be printed and placed in your student file to be used for references and the college admission process. This week we will be taking notes on internet safety and email etiquette. You will have a written test on internet safety and email etiquette on Friday.
ENGLISH - It's a new school year! :)
I know it's a relief to get the first week of school out of the way - wouldn't you agree?
We have had a busy week going over the summer reading book, The Outsiders. Our test on the book will be Tuesday, August 20th. Our journals from a character's point of view is due on Thursday, August 22nd. We will watch the movie after the test then compare, so it's important to pay attention! I hope you enjoyed this book. I have had many seniors tell me this book was their favorite summer reading book.
