It's hard to believe that so many honored beautiful pieces of poetry were made from the same man as the author of this notebook. It is hard to read, unorganized, mysterious, confusing...but... it is real. I think the purpose of publicizing his notebook was to show how human he is. He often perceived himself as above others and wrote that way (saying that he is the cosmos), but this evidence levels his playing field with the rest of society.

"And when everyones super... no one will be" -The Incredibles ... The dream that I have as an American is to live my life woven in the hands of God. I want to go through conflict, I do NOT want to be perfect. If one does not earn struggles in their lives, how can one enjoy the simplistic joys of living. Of course we shall strive to be perfect, but humans have sin so it is inevitable, which means we need to be equip for those times in our lives. My Amer

Here is a picture of the passage I had which includes the planning to the right of the text and between the lines:  Heyoooo! So I initially did a voice recording and it was amazing and had a thorough analysis... but I could not upload it on her no matter how hard I tried so I tried it again on this website that could only do around 5 min. at a time so here are the three links to my IOC practice:  #1       https://www.speakpipe.com/voice-recorder/msg/y1bkpbayn1axc56k  #2       https://www.speakpipe.com/voice-recorder/msg/4n486qfii1rkxonk  #3       https://www.speakpipe.com/voice-recorder/msg/9c2th17vneq8lnbq Analysis on my analysis on The Handmaids Tale: A: Knowledge and Understanding of the text or extract- 9 I know that I understood the text, but I could have referenced it more during my analysis of the different quotes to further show my understanding.
