Susan Olvera Flores "Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince[ss]: | |
| And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!" |
Every child begins the world again, to some extent, and loves to stay outdoors, even in wet and cold. It plays house, as well as horse, having an instinct for it...

Thoughts Concerning Susan
Aaron--
The Bonds Between Us
The bonds between us are best shown when we are grieving. With heavy hearts do we remember the moments we have shared with those dearly departed.
What binds us together may just be a string of coincidences, or conversations in passing,
or it may be deeper--a friendship or memories that've been forged together.
To lose someone, no matter the bond, will begin the grief.
To lose a person,
To lose a daughter,
To lose a student, a classmate, a team mate.
To lose a friend.
But in facing the cruel hand of death, the hand that has whisked away one we loved, we cherished,
We have nothing more to do than stand together, and strenthen the bonds.
The bonds that hold us together through the dark and the light,
The bonds that hold us together when we are grieving.
The loss of soeone so great, such as Susan Olver, is incomprehensible. Though I did not know her personally, I know of her benevolent personality and how it graced all those around her. As we mourn our loss of Susan, let us cherish the memories and moments she has shared with us.

Edgar Allan Poe
The Masque of the Red Death--easier to understand (hyperlinks)
The Masque of the Red Death--easier to read
The Wikipedia info on The Masque of the Red Death is actually pretty good
HOMEWORK: Finish the story at home
5 point quiz at the first of the period
As you know, Miller was writing about the communist witch hunt perpetrated by Joseph McCarthy and others in the early 1950's. Miller himself was accused, as were many of his fellow actors who were blacklisted in Hollywood. In the film The Majestic, Jim Carey portrays a blacklisted actor who stands up for truth in precisely the way that Miller wanted his contemporaries to do.

SAT vocabulary list 1 (from another teacher's deck on Quizlet)
Some of you might want to review The Crucible considering that you have a test over the play tomorrow. The test isn't as difficult as some (think Scarlet Letter!), but still . . .
Sparknotes: The Crucible
As you know, Arthur Miller's The Crucible isn't historically accurate. Modern science still has a difficult time explaining exactly what happened to the "bewitched girls," but here are a few theories: What Really Happened in Salem, 1692?

Here's a 4 minute version, but it's missing the very important final 30 seconds! Oh, and it's in French, so . . . Majestic
