Ceremony is definitely the most difficult book I've read so far in my life. So much imagery! I feel like while annotating, I can't just pick out some parts of the book to to highlight and call it imagery or tone or anything...it's the entire book. Which is kind of annoying while annotating, but the book as a whole is awesome. I think this is one I'm going to read on my own time during the summer or something. I don't understand everything I want to, and I need time to get through this one and dissect.
Fifth Business is up next, and so far it's pretty good. The tone of the narrator reminds me a lot of Holden in Catcher in the Rye. While the story line is kind of weird with the entire book being a letter to the main character's boss explaining every detail in his life, I still think it's interesting. The only thing I'm confused about is the definition of "fifth business", Ms. Holmes started to explain it to us in class, but I'm still lost. Seems to happen to me a lot.
We've been doing more practice writing open and closed prompts in preparation for the AP test coming up, and I'm really grateful to get the practice, but I'm getting scared because I've been consistently getting 4-3's on mine. Hopefully I can pull it together on the exam...
