Jayden's Journal

 This class, taught by Professor Brady, was really amazing. Throughout the whole semester, we went over a lot of things, and there were a few that stuck out to me more than the rest of them. Although there were a few, they were all still great things to listen to, learn, and write about. The three lessons I would like to discuss are the Lovers in Literature intro, A Streetcar Named Desire, and the poetry unit. These three were just able to showcase the most knowledge to learn for the best things I can relate to.                                                                  LESSON #1     The lovers and literature intro was one of my favorite lessons because, to start the year, it talked about all the characteristics of how love is seen and portrayed as someone who has a very big heart. It was great to get a ...

Could that make her weak or stronger? She stays with him. She doesn't want a way out because she truly loves him.                                                                Workshop 2 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-ustrY7q3CVOk4eksCHtjjK7qyfcXlvVQ26kX9CVOK8/edit?usp=sharing This story is about lovers who aren't with eacother but they send letter...

 This semester with Mrs Brady went really well. She was able to get everyone out of their shells and talk to each other, and to connect right from the beginning. Once I saw that's how she likes things done, it already taught me a lesson, and also how great this class was going to be. Throughout the year, I've learned so much and also developed as a person just by learning the little things from Professor Brady. When we went over all of the books, stories, and novels about love, it just changed my perspective on how to view things and to see how the world is so common, especially in the way they love and act on it. But overall, this class has taught me so many things that you can't just learn on your own, and I enjoyed everyone and everything about it. Professor Brady has taught me to the best level and will be letting me leave her class as a more intelligent and knowledgeable man and a critical thinker.

 Love is one of the most common themes in literature because it is something that affects everyone’s life. Authors use relationships to show real emotions and struggles that people go through every day. Love can make people feel happy, safe, and understood, but it can also lead to pain and difficult choices. That is why readers connect so strongly to stories about love. They feel realistic because relationships are never perfect, and people often have to deal with challenges and emotions they cannot control. In A Streetcar Named Desire , the relationship between Stella and Stanley  is passionate but also unhealthy. Even though Stanley can be cruel and controlling, Stella still chooses to stay with him because of how strong her feelings are. Their relationship shows that love is not always simple and that emotions can sometimes cause people to ignore serious problems. In The Notebook , love is shown in a much more positive way.
