We started reading Long Day’s Journey into Night in class. Mr. Willis played Tyron while the students played the other parts. Some of the reading is very dry and distracting, but Mr. Willis preforms incredibly. Also, Mr. Willis’s explanations through out the reading are invaluable. One particular explanation, breaking down the word “plutocrat,” stood out to me. Mr. Willis linked plutocrat to Roman history, Pluto, then to Greek, Hades. At the end of class I proposed the honors project to Mr. Willis, and he suggested some fine tuning on the grammar. I will finish Long Day’s Journey over the weekend, and I will also began Lord of the Fly’s and re-read “The A & P.”
