Week of September 21

Thank you for your work on The Alchemist. I know that it wasn't necessarily a favorite for everyone, but I hope you gained something from it. It's time now for our first Shakespearean play for your senior year and I think I probably prefer this one to Macbeth. It's much deeper than the other plays you read in high school, with much more complex characters, really just an overall more cerebral play. And I hope you LOVE IT. :)

Week of September 14

There are so many thoughts I had during our Alchemist seminar, some of which I wanted to share and some of which I knew I couldn't share. I can't tell you how much that book speaks to my heart and my life. I hope that, at least for some of you, it did the same.
