<br />
I hope a good weekend. Just a few reminders:<br />
<br />
Our next meeting will be the 15th of May.<br />
<br />
And you have free choice for reading materials. BUT, please post on this blog the book you have chosen, so hopefully we will have a variety of books to talk about in class. If you can´t post on the blog, e-mail Gabriela.<br />
<br />
And here are some reading options, if you can´t think of a book to read:<br />
<i>The Great Gatsby </i>(New movie coming out in mid May)<br />
<i>The Little Prince </i>(I´m sure you´ve read it in Spanish, so read it in English!)<br />
<i>Heart of Darkness </i>(A classic, very well written)<br />
<i>To Kill A Mockingbird</i> (About racial issues in the United States, written from the perspective of a child)<br />
<i>1984</i> (Futuristic distopia)<br />
<i>Farhenheit 451 </i>(Another futuristic distopia, but the best in the genre in my opinion)<br />
<i>Of Mice and Men</i> (About friendship, set during the Great Depression)<br />
<i>Night</i> (Short, very easy-to-read TRUE account of living through the Holocaust)<br />
<i>The Sun Also Rises</i> (Hemingway in Spain)<br />
<i>The Call of the Wild </i>(Jack London in Alaska)<br />
<i>Into the Wild</i> (True, journalistic account of a young man that disappeared in Alaska)<br />
<i>The Perks of Being a Wallflower</i> (About high school, written from the perspective of a teenager)<br />
<br />
Most of them are on the shorter side. Also, most are available free on the internet, or they are very cheap because they were released a while ago.<br />
<br />
You can also try reading a graphic novel (Maus and Persepolis are good choices) or another Shakespeare play!<br />
<br />
Good Luck!<br />
<br />
P.S. We are trying to plan some sort of dinner for May/June, so think of when you are available and what you would like to do!<br />

<br />
We are meeting TOMORROW! Don´t forget! And I hope you had fun reading <i>Romeo and Juliet</i>.<br />
<br />
See you!<br />
<br />
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958975110769224021.post-87107681859392809122013-03-21T02:47:00.001-07:002013-03-21T02:47:13.780-07:00March 20thThanks to everyone that came yesterday! We had a good time talking about <i>Twelve Angry Men. </i>Here's the <a href="http://www.wtsof.com/watch/S5E20-the-boy-who-knew-too-much">link</a> to the Simpsons episode we watched, just in case you wanted to watch all of it. It's season 5, episode 20, and it's called "The Boy Who Knew Too Much."<br />
<br />
We decided that for next time we're going to be reading <i>Romeo and Juliet,</i> and the previous post has a lot of good links for you to check out. Here's another one, called <a href="http://nfs.sparknotes.com/romeojuliet/">No Fear Shakespeare</a>, which shows the original text of the play alongside a version in modern English.<br />
<br />
Also, it's not super important to read the whole play. I recommend reading the important scenes and watching either the Leonardo DiCaprio version of the movie and/or the 1968 version . That way, you get a sense of the whole play and the language without being overwhelmed.<br />
<br />
What are the important scenes? It's partly your decision and opinion which scenes to read, but a good place to start is reading these scenes:<br />
Act 1, Prologue (the opening sonnet)<br />
Act 1, Scene 5 (the first meeting of R and J)<br />
Act 2, Scene 2 (R&J at the Balcony)<br />
Act 5, Scene 3 (the final scene)<br />
And try to pick a few scenes that you enjoy as well!<br />
<br />
We'll be meeting April 17th at 6:15! See you then!<br />

We had a good discussion about <i>Tuesdays with Morrie.</i> If you really liked the book I suggest you check out the <a href="http://mitchalbom.com/d/landing">author's websit</a>e, all of his other books are a similar writing style and level. We talked about initial reactions to the book, literary terms in relation to the book and the aphorisms used by Morrie throughout the book.<br />
<br />
We also decided to read a play for the next meeting, which will be on March 20th, at 6:15 pm. The drama is called <i>Twelve Angry Men</i>, and you can find the complete play <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1irVXTuMAQESSwtoqOtQiC_-5dZa59LCmOxA_IQzlxww/edit">here</a>. Since it 's not very long, make sure to watch the film as well. You can find it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeHD9J5PKI">here</a>, or you can look for a copy with subtitles. We'll talk some about differences between the play and the movie and new interpretations.<br />
<br />
See you in March!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958975110769224021.post-65379859382813803162013-02-19T04:13:00.001-08:002013-02-19T04:13:09.122-08:00Meeting Tomorrow!Hi Everyone!<br />
<br />
I hope you finished <i>Tuesdays with Morrie </i>because we´ll be meeting tomorrow! At 6:15 pm in the library at the CFR. I hope everyone can make it!<br />
<br />
If you have time, take a look at the <a href="http://mitchalbom.com/d/es">author´s website</a>, or maybe <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/officialmitchalbom">his youtube channel</a> which shows an animation about his most recent book, <i>The Time Keeper</i>.<br />
<br />
See you tomorrow!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958975110769224021.post-46921707953227919482013-01-24T02:41:00.001-08:002013-01-24T02:41:32.957-08:00For February!Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
Thanks for coming to the meeting yesterday! For anyone that missed it, we made haiku poems and talked about the short stories. I think "To Build a Fire" was just marginally the favorite story.<br />
<br />
We also picked the novel for next time which will be <i>Tuesdays with Morrie.</i> You can buy a digital copy or order a soft cover from <a href="http://www.amazon.es/Tuesdays-Morrie-Young-Greatest-Lesson/dp/0385496494/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359023732&sr=8-1">Amazon</a>. It's a TRUE story about the relationship between the author, Mitch Albom, and a former professor he had while attending university. And the next meeting will be <b>February 20th at 6:15 pm</b>!<br />
<br />
Here's a little blurb about the book from Wikipedia.org:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Albom's breakthrough book came about after a friend of his viewed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrie_Schwartz" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Morrie Schwartz">Morrie Schwartz</a>'s interview with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Koppel" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Ted Koppel">Ted Koppel</a> on ABC News <i><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightline_(US_news_program)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="Nightline (US news program)">Nightline</a></i> in 1995, in which Schwartz, a sociology professor, spoke about living and dying with a terminal disease, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALS" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="ALS">ALS</a> (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease). Albom, who had been close with Schwartz during his college years at Brandeis, felt guilty about not keeping in touch so he reconnected with his former professor, visiting him in suburban Boston and eventually coming every Tuesday for discussions about life and death. Albom, seeking a way to pay for Schwartz's medical bills, sought out a publisher for a book about their visits. Although rejected by numerous publishing houses, the idea was accepted by Doubleday shortly before Schwartz's death, and Albom was able to fulfill his wish to pay off Schwartz's bills.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-11" style="line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Albom#cite_note-11" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial; white-space: nowrap;">[11]</a></sup></div>

The book, <i>Tuesdays with Morrie</i>, was published in 1997, a small volume that chronicled Albom's time spent with his professor. The initial printing was 20,000 copies. Word of mouth grew the book sales slowly and a brief appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" nudged the book onto the <i><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: initial;" title="New York Times">New York Times</a></i> bestseller's list in October 1997. It steadily climbed, reaching the No. 1 position six months later. It remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 205 weeks.

<br />
I hope you had a great Christmas vacation! And I hope you have started reading the two short stories we agreed to read at the December meeting.<br />
<br />
And as I said in the meeting in December, we'll be reading a short novel for the February meeting. Since we will have to decide on the novel in the January meeting (on the 23rd), please have a look at these links! And even leave a comment with your top choices. (I change the comment settings, so comments should appear immediately.) OR, if you don't like these options, please feel free to suggest a different story. I linked the Amazon UK page for all of these, but some of them are available free online as well.<br />

<br />
I hope you are having a good week! And don't forget to come to the bookclub tomorrow. We'll be starting at 6:15! (But don't worry if you're a little bit late.)<br />
<br />
And don't forget we'll be talking about poetry! And the poems you picked out!<br />
<br />
See you tomorrow!<br />
<br />
P.S. And in the spirit of December, here's perhaps the most famous Christmas poem written in English:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/rw7P2hCuPME?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms, HELVETICA, ARIAL;">
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house<br />
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;<br />
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,<br />
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;<br />
<br />
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;<br />
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,<br />
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,<br />
<br />
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,<br />
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
Away to the window I flew like a flash,<br />
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.<br />
<br />
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow<br />
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,<br />
<br />
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,<br />
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.<br />
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,<br />
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;<br />
<br />
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!<br />
On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!<br />
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!<br />
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"<br />
<br />
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,<br />
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,<br />
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,<br />
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.<br />
<br />
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof<br />
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.<br />
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,<br />
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.<br />
<br />
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,<br />
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;<br />
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,<br />
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.<br />
<br />
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!<br />
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!<br />
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,<br />
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;<br />
<br />
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,<br />
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;<br />
He had a broad face and a little round belly,<br />
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.<br />
<br />
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,<br />
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;<br />
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,<br />
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;<br />
<br />
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,<br />
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,<br />
And laying his finger aside of his nose,<br />
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;<br />
<br />
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,<br />
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.<br />
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,<br />
"<span style="color: red;">HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!</span>"</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958975110769224021.post-42360652976457175692012-11-18T00:23:00.002-08:002012-11-18T00:24:13.785-08:00Love Is...<div class="title">

<div class="poem">
Love is...<br />
<br />
Love is feeling cold in the back of vans<br />
<br />
Love is a fanclub with only two fans<br />
<br />
Love is walking holding paintstained hands<br />
<br />
Love is.<br />
<br />
Love is fish and chips on winter nights<br />
<br />
Love is blankets full of strange delights<br />
<br />
Love is when you don't put out the light<br />
<br />
Love is<br />
<br />
Love is the presents in Christmas shops<br />
<br />
Love is when you're feeling Top of the Pops<br />
<br />
Love is what happens when the music stops<br />
<br />
Love is<br />
<br />
Love is white panties lying all forlorn<br />
<br />
Love is pink nightdresses still slightly warm<br />
<br />
Love is when you have to leave at dawn<br />
<br />
Love is<br />
<br />
Love is you and love is me<br />
<br />
Love is prison and love is free<br />
<br />
Love's what's there when you are away from me<br />

Love is...</div>

<br />
Here's some more ideas for poems to read!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/maya-angelou/biography/">Maya Angelou</a> is a famous female African-American poet, her poems use simple and direct language and focus largely on the theme of defiance in the face of continual opposition. "<a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-know-why-the-caged-bird-sings/">I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</a>" and "<a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/still-i-rise/">Still I Rise</a>" are two of her most famous poems.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/matsuo-basho/">Matsuo Basho </a> was a haiku writer in 17th century Japan. Although haiku's are very short poems, they are open to a lot of interpretation in their meaning, and also in their different translations. For example "<a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-old-pond/">The Old Pond</a>" has many different English translations.<br />
<br />
I thought I would include as well the current poet laureate, which for the United States is <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/natasha-trethewey">Natasha Trethewey</a>. I particularly liked her poem titled "<a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/176998">History Lesson</a>," and on the <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/natasha-trethewey#about">article page</a> of her biography, you can find not only the text of the poems but audio recordings as well. <br />
<br />
The poet laureate in the United States holds the position for only one year, while the poet laureate in the UK holds the position for life (or until retirement). The current poet laureate in the UK is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Ann_Duffy">Carol Ann Duffy</a>. This <a href="http://www.universalteacher.org.uk/poetry/duffy.htm">page</a> includes a biography along with detailed explanation of some of her poems. And here is the <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/carolannduffypoems/index.htm">text</a> to many of her poems.<br />
<br />
Have a good weekend!<br />

<br />
We met last Wednesday at 6:30 on the 8th of November for the first time this year. And we introduced ourselves and we talked about songs and narration! As promised, here are the links to the songs we talked about:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUwjNBjqR-c">"Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHPuY88Ry4">"A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otJY2HvW3Bw">"Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igj20M84hbo">"The Last Time I saw Richard" by Joni Mitchell</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298nld4Yfds">"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6dMFF_yts">"We are Young" by FUN.</a><br />
<br />
And NEXT TIME, we will be meeting December 5th, at 6:15. And we will be talking about POETRY. Your HOMEWORK is to research 2-3 poems (or 1 really long poem) to share with the group. You should have at least some of the following information:<br />
<ul>
<li>A printed copy of the poem </li>
<li>Author (and a short Biography)</li>
<li>Title of Poem</li>
<li>Genre of Poem</li>
<li>Type of Poem (haiku etc.)</li>
<li>Plot of Poem (if there is one)</li>
<li>Description of Characters</li>
<li>Explanation of important themes/ideas</li>
<li>Explanation of important vocabulary </li>
<li>And why you chose the poem!</li>
</ul>
I can´t wait to see what you picked!<br />
(For inspiration, you can look at the previous post, and I will post more links in the coming days to more poems and poets as well.) <br />
<br />
See you in December!<br />

<br />
I hope you are having a great start to the school year. I just wanted to let everyone know that the bookclub for this school year starts TOMORROW. We will start off talking about songs and music! And then we're going to talk a little bit about poems. After all, songs are a type of poem. Here's some different websites to think about poems:<br />
<br />
This <a href="http://faculty.weber.edu/chansen/humanweb/projects/MeghanUng/poems.htm">website</a> is about Shel Silverstein, an american poet. Although he writes primarily for children his charming poems are still enjoyed by people of all ages. (And not all of them are for children!) If you like Shel Silverstein, Dr. Suess is also a classic children's poet, well loved by almost all English speakers.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/119">William Carlos Williams</a>, is another famous american poet that writes in a very modern, free verse style. His poem "This is Just to Say" is very short but interesting nonetheless. Similar poets are Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot<br />
<br />
If you are looking for more classical poetry, Shakespeare's sonnets are excellent to read bit by bit. This <a href="http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/">website</a> has all of his sonnets, along with his plays!<br />
<br />
And I have to include <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/robert-frost/">Robert Fros</a>t, as he is one of the most famous poets from my home state, Massachusetts. His poems "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" are well-known throughout the United States.<br />
<br />

I just wanted to thank everyone for coming last night. We talked about the graphic novels everyone has been reading, and exchanged more books to read. Next time, we'll be meeting on May 24th and talking about "The Swimmer", a short story by John Cheever. Here's a <a href="http://shortstoryclassics.50megs.com/cheeverswimmer.html">link</a> for the story available online. And don't forget to check out his <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cheever">biography</a> as well. Finally, if you want to listen to the story as well, there is a <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/2011/02/14/110214on_audio_enright">podcast</a> as well.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958975110769224021.post-53972976589210432032012-04-18T03:11:00.000-07:002012-04-18T03:11:12.956-07:00Next meeting.We will have our next meeting next Wednesday , April 26th.
