What I Learned in English 10 Second Quarter

In this quarter of English 10 I have learned about irony and ambiguity also how to do a persuasive project, also how to create a Graphic organizer. I also understand how to identify the narrator’s points of view. I can name and compare the themes of different texts. Also I have learned new vocabulary words this quarter. I can write a paragraph others want to comment on. I can create a project to celebrate a holiday. I can also write about my life on SPA campus.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" - I'm the Detective.

If I was a detective investigating the murder of Patrick Maloney in “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, I would have asked her more questions and I would have tried to figure out how come she was insisting that we had to eat all of the meat. Also I think I would have made some type of connection to the meat and the evidence I was looking for. I would have been a better detective then the others.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" Mary's Giggling .

At the end of “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because the detectives ate the murder weapon that they were looking for the whole night. He husband was going to leave her I think but she was such a good actress she killed him, went to the store and fooled the detectives, all in the same night. She played it off completely. After the police leave the house, I predict Mary will just go on about her day like nothing happened and every now and then grief. But in a couple of years later she will probably re-marry and continue with her life.

Situational Irony in My Life.

Growing up I have not really had a situational irony happen. But something did happen that I think is like the same thing. When I was little my Dad got custody of me because my mom had a drug problem, she was placed in jail, also because my family didn’t want me placed in the foster system. So I was placed with my dad and my brothers and I went our separate ways. When I was seven my dad got re-married, I turned eight and I was taken away from my dad because he had a drug problem. I guess it was ironic because I was taken away from my mom to have a better future to be out with my dad and I have opposite thing happen. I mean I have a good life but it not with my family.
