Daddy Issues

Clocks, clocks, clocks, clocks. We have eight clocks now - including one that indicates the time of Banneker's birth and one that indicates the time of Banneker's death (nice overahieving, Bailey & Michaela).

Meanwhile in AP Lit, we spent the entire class period overanlayzing "Daddy" as a poem with its structure, sounds (that "oo" sound replaced with "t" sound and then right back to "oo" sound to contribute her feelings of childlike oppression, semi-controlled adult reflection, and eventual regression), psychology (hello, Electra complex), and overall motifs (colors, shoes, vampires, WWII, Nazis, Jews).

Tomorrow will be MC passage 2 and King Lear 1.1.
