We have just finished annotating Ceremony, and I have to say it was really really long. I hope we don't have to do the same for Fifth Business, because I think my time would be better spent studying for APs at that point, but we'll see.
I actually really liked reading Ceremony and it was good to go back and spend more time thinking about it, as I definitely would have had major gaps in my understanding of it if I hadn't done so. The differences between this book and more traditional Western literature is intriguing to me and the themes of the book are also very interesting (trying to reconcile the differences in cultures, restoration of Laguna culture, web of stories, etc.) although I know I don't understand them as well as I would like.
I don't remember everything that we did before spring break but I hope that we work a lot on our writing in timed situations before the exam. I don't really have any idea of how well I'll do on the exam, MC or writing, but I'm sure if I study hard enough for it I'll be well prepared.
One more month until we're done!
