"They breathe profits; they eat the interest on money. If they don't get it, they die the way you die without air, without side-meat."

-Chapter five “The Grapes of Wrath”

Class presentation! English 11 honors students were very different from that of regular 10th grade English. I personally think that anyone could be doing the work that the English Honors where doing. It depends on how the teacher presents the requirements. This teacher…I call him/her MR./iss WRATH—definitely pushes the students. Which is a good thing! Mr/iss Wrath used a lot of sarcasm though—but the students appeared to be use to it. He/she spoke very…lets say “unfriendly” about ELA standards and authority in general. Though he/she uses humor a lot he/she maintains order in the class room. The presentation given by the students was great! Well maybe not great…it was good? Vivid. Interesting…O wait according to Mr/iss. Wrath is was “lacking.” Thus, the teacher takes over after the students talked about: Fruit, death, Life, decay, Christians, Machines, Rose of Sharon, The Dust Bowl. Mr/iss.Wrath himself/herself goes into the use of language throughout the story. I think that she/he should go over the language she/he uses in class! (What a potty mouth *tisk* tisk*).
Nevertheless, the students like Mr/iss.Wrath and the are learning about a great book.
