ELA B30: April 19 Relationships of all shapes and sizes…
- Today we began the final sub-unit of the first part of the B30 class. Its focus is relationships and how they are central to all human experiences.
- We read through several poems together, some of an older fashion and others of more recent writing, and looked at a variety of the kinds of relationships that exists. Some of the examples were a shared romantic love, mourning the loss of a husband, the unhealthy love of a woman who loves the man who beats her, the hopeful emotions of a father who lost a son but anticipates seeing him again one day, and the twisted and illogical affection of a man who kills his girlfriend in a moment when she is not thinking of her pride or vanity in the hopes of helping her die while she is not sinning and thereby go to heaven. All sorts of relationships exist between people, whether we can understand them clearly or not.
