Jabberwocky?? O.O (Thur, 1/12/11)

Fourth class

NIGHT CLASS Y’ALL!!

Haha, sorry about that. it was my first night class so…yeah!!!
 woot woot!!

We were all exhausted when we arrived because we had KO just before that. We learned a new word that day though : BIZARRE
If you don’t know what it means, here is the full meaning from dictionary.com
"Markedly unusual in appearance style or general character and often involving incongruous or unexpected elements outrageously or whimsically strange odd."
(what does ‘incongruous’ means??) *shrugs shrugs

Basically ‘bizarre’ means strange, odd or weird.

On this night, we learnt about contextual clues. If you have no idea whatsoever about contextual clues, this link might help http://scc.losrios.edu/~langlit/reading/contextclues/intro1.htm
Understand it a lil bit better now? Good!

So, Miss Zu showed us a poem called Jabberwocky by Lewis Caroll. The poem didn't really makes sense to me since the language were old English BUT that's the whole point of contextual clues,  right? haha. How about you guys check out the poem yourselves and see if you an crack the meaning behind the nonsense poem! Here's the link for it http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabber/jabberwocky.html
Oh! My favourite part of the class was the “Callooh! Callay!” it's just a fun thing to shout about. Haha


Look what I found. >>>>
This is apparently THE MAN who wrote the Jabbewocky.
Handsome, no?? hahaha

Goodnight!! (or morning, afternoon, evening. Whatever time you’re reading this) =P
