Literature Group Reflection

What worked?
I don't think that much worked in our literature group, some of us could keep up with the writing while others could not. Only Evan, Will and I managed to keep up with the due dates and we were the only ones able to finish the book. When it came to the lit meetings a lot of people didn't have their projects or they just didn't exude any kind of emotion towards their project, most of the time we only did half of the projects or we didn't have enough time for everyone's project. I don't think a lot worked in our lit group.


What would you like to see changed?
I would like to see everyone's project done and I would like to see everyone be able to finish their book so that we could all talk about it and so that we are all able to play everyone's games. Because not a lot of people had finished the part they were supposed to read we were not able to play the games correctly. I would like to see everyone be excited about their projects and not do their projects that morning.

What was your book about?
My book was about the adventures of Huck Finn. Huck lived with a widow that tried to civilize him but he didn't like that so he decided to go with his father who wasn't very nice. He then decided to leave his father and made it look like he had been murdered. He ended up on a little island and soon found Jim, the widow's slave, he had run away because he overheard the widow talking about selling Jim. Jim and Huck soon became friends and decided to head towards New Orleans. They went through a lot of people and Jim ended up getting captured for a reward. Huck ended up going to Aunt Sally's house which was Tom Sawyers Aunt. Tom Sawyer ended up showing up and saying that he was his brother and saying that Huck was Tom. They tried getting Jim out of the back but they all did was plan. They were chased by a crowd of people and they got Jim out because they were running to the raft. Tom ended up getting shot and they let Jim go because Tom told them that he was already a free slave because the widow had died a couple of weeks before and her will said that when she died Jim was free. Jim also told Huck that they saw his dead dad.
