For this project, since we were reading The Odyssey, we had to explain different points in the book with providing a picture of the scene and analyzing it to show how it connected. It was challenging at first, but once I was able to think deeper and immerse myself into the book, I was able to connect the situations more fluently.

After we finished the book, The Odyssey, we wrote an essay about deciding if Odysseus is a true hero or not. I said that he was not a true hero because he does not help other people in need when it is not convenient for himself. Unfortunately,I no longer have the full essay but I have provided the final conclusion.

After we had read the book, Purple Hibiscus, we wrote an essay about an opinion and talked about it relating to the book. I really enjoyed reading Purple Hibiscus because it was very eventful and many things throughout the book meant a deeper meaning than first perceived. It was very entertaining thinking about the meaning of different events and symbols throughout the book.

At the end of the semester, we created a ferris wheel that related to English and Physical Science. The ferris wheel was based off of the book Purple Hibiscus. We made an experience that showed other people what Purple Hibiscus showed us. For my ferris wheel, Viewpoints, I made a ferris wheel out of legos that had two distinct sides. These sides represented two different Viewpoints. One being 3rd person point of view, describing what is happening in the book, and the opposite side, is Kambili's point of view. Her side shows her thoughts and emotions and lets us see her grow mentally.
