i think its called "Helen on eighty-sixth street"

That...is a book I have never heard of. How odd.

lol.its an online school book since i am homeschooled

Ah, okay then. Still a strange book. Generally they have you read the classics or social commentary books.

yeah.i never heard of the book or quite understand it either XD

Hrmm. Supposedly it became a musical. How old are you? It seems like a young book.

i will be 16 tomorrow :eager:

Well happy early birthday!
On the book: From the first page, it seems to quote a crapload of Shakespeare and old myths. If you need any help with background, let me know.

thanks and i will.yeah in the book it seems like a girl named Vita is doing a play about something about greek.

This is the problem I find frequently with homeschooling: it seems to leave out classical mythology completely. Did you see the movie Troy?

no i did not.

Alright, well, if you get confused by all of the Greek names and play references, look up the Trojan War. That's what her play is about.

okay i will do that.thank you.:heart: :angel:

so what have you been up to today?

You're welcome. :)
I've been up to a whooole lot of nothing. I picked up dog poo. And that's about all I got done.

ah i see.i've been pretty much helping sis all day and reading

At least it's productive!
Alright, dinner time. Talk to you later!

yeah true.see you later.it was nice talking to you :heart: :angel:

Hello everyone.

Guess everyone will be excited when the new round starts. :D

Haha. Yeah, I'll be excited. Although people keep changing their avatars. *glares at monstahh`*

hi everyone *rolls into the thread*

From what i've heard, it seems like homeschool is made too easy. Not really fair, if you ask me.
Just like how the trouble kids just go to charter school and its like as easy as elementary school, practically. I knew a guy that went in there because he'd threatened the teacher, and he was a total idiot, and he still passed with absolute ease. He'd tell us about what they'd do, and they'd just have movies and popcorn all the time, or go out on fieldtrips and stuff. And they never actually had to turn homework in. It pissed me off. Trouble kids shouldn't be being rewarded by getting through highschool with little to no effort at all.

suona
you lost me ^^; are you talking to me or someone else o.o

Hi Demi!

Suona: Well, I've a number of friends that were homeschooled, and many of them have a really nice education, but I definitely think it tends to avoid mythology since a large number of homeschoolers do so for religious reasons. Which is a shame, really, because mythology is so frequently referenced.

hi steel how are you?

Pretty good. Tired, and still not productive.
