I’m done!!! i just need to hole punch my general intro and put in the binder.  I am so relieved!!! 

So I am almost done with my project. I only have my intro to annotations (which I'm about to do right now) and my general introduction left. I know I'm almost done but at the same time I am still absolutely terrified because this is my last weekend to do the project. Wish me luck!

Overall, i really love this book. It kept me wondering the whole time which kept me interested throughout the whole book. Alias Grace is all about how easy it is for one person’s choice to affect another person’s whole life. Which although in this book it’s very extreme the same can be said about real life, hopefully in our cases however on a lot smaller scale. Even though i’m done with the book i still have no idea if Grace is guilty, which honestly i’m okay with it. It shows me and the rest of Atwood's audience that you can’t have the answer to everything. 

Looking back on the book again, I have realized something. In the second to last chapter it is titled “The Letter X” and it’s ten letters to and from various people throughout the book. What I am wondering is why does Atwood do this? The letters are the character telling each other how their lives are. But I wonder why Atwood doesn't just have Grace narrate everything that is going on like she has been throughout the book. I want to figure it out but at the same time I figure that it might just be something Atwood wants the reader to think about, but find an answer for ourselves and not try to find clues.  

So last week I got 5 criticisms and annotated them all. Now, I just need to pick 3 between the 5. That will be the last thing I do tonight and then tomorrow I will start my abstracts! I’m actually pretty nervous about it so wish me luck!

Last weekend I went to the OU library to get my criticisms for my book Alias Grace and honestly it was terrifying. I was there for two hours until I found out that I was on the second floor and the criticisms I needed were on the third. Then after 30min on the third floor I finally found them. It took me a while to figure out how to use the copy machine but after the really nice technology girl helped me I finally got my criticisms after 3.5 hours of being there. Moral of the story: I'm glad I went through the struggle now so maybe it will only take 2 hours when I get to college.

When her songs came out inthe 80′s they were never heard of before, and influenced may artists like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and more to do something different.  

While reading chapter 1-5 i found it very interesting of how Hurston first goes on to talk about how Janine is judged by the sitters soon as she got back to her hometown. However, at first I thought the book was going to be about how the “sitters” judge her. Which honestly I when I thought this I figured this was going to be a book I would hate. However,  toward the middle of Chapter 2 I found out this isn't the cause. She sits down with her old friend Phoebe and starts telling the story of her life since she left. Which so far is really interesting to me because I really like hearing the story of other people. I’m now looking forward to reading this book. 

Although i’m done reading Alias Grace, I’m still really confused on who the speaker. There’s Grace who narrates whenever there’s a flashback or conversation  conversation between her and Dr. Simon. however, whenever there’s person narrating about what Dr. Simon is doing outside the penitentiary it obviously can’t be Grace so who is it? I hope as I scan throughout the book I can figure it out.
