Stephanie Chalef -- 9/30/16

Today in class, since Mr.Rivers was not here we did not really do a lot. Some people are still trying to figure out where to watch their movie, or even trying to find time to read their books. But, most people  just watched their movies or read their books for the essay that is due October 13th. Although a lot of people read different books, many students in this period read "Room." That was the book that I chose to read over the Summer. I thought the book was really good, but not the trailer. I honestly thought the trailer went slower than reading the book. But, the movie was actually so good! The movie was very edge of your seat, suspenseful with twists and turns. I can tell that other people liked their movies too. We could not really do anything else because we are focusing on starting the essays. Since it is the first essay we will be writing, this is a chance to show Mr. Rivers our style of writing and find out his style of grading. The essays will be interesting to read due to the vast difference in how each person felt about their books and movies.  Today was a slow day in class, but I am sure it will pick up Monday because we are down to two weeks before the essay is due.
