Here is what went down in English today:
We listened to two trope of the day presentations, one on epanalepsis by Dari and one on paralipsis by Tory. After Tory&#8217;s reluctant performance, Mr. E elaborated on the two related tropes epanalepsis and anadiplosis.

Today we started off with discussing the quotes &#8220;Know Thyself&#8221; and &#8220;The unexamined life is not worth living&#8221;. We determined that everyone needs to give their life meaning, and find a purpose in everything everything you do. Why are you doing what you do?

Today we started off class with a detail worksheet. The scene confused most people in the class and the question of &#8220;who&#8217;s Janie&#8221; and &#8220;who&#8217;s dying&#8221; arose many times.
