day 5
This meeting was ok, we were a bit lost but we covered everything. we were all kind of confused on plot and what was going on in the book. This meeting to be honest was a bit lagging in effort and I don't really think that everyone put in there best effort in completeing the reading, but we all completed the reading and work. So far the book has come the end of the second book "hired girls" and we move on to the next book "Lena Lenigard". Hopefully we understand more of what goes on in this book than the last.

day 4
This meeting was good, and actually much better than the others over all. Everyone was involved and was very into the book. Everyone did their homework and read. We talked about the family and the switch of location, and how it would affect the plot. This class was very good, we all read our questions, and tried our best to answer and talked about our passages.
Over all it was a good meeting.

Day of meeting: march 8
Today's meeting i was assigned the roll of scribe. As far as i know we all read our assigned reading. We quickly got into the motion of starting our conversation. We started off by reading off the three questions we wrote down while we were reading. Zoe had questions that were based off the first chapter, and about Jim's life before Nebraska. Evan had questions about the beginning of chapter five and brendan also had a few questions which tied into each of ours.
We also talked about our passages. mainly everyone had their questions on their passages. Zoe talked of the first paragraph and Evan of chapter five, and Brendan of the first snowfall, and me of page twenty the last paragraph. we for a while switching comments on the book and different opinions and then we talked about the book in general. We talked of how we like the book overall, and we found that it may not be very exciting but there is a plot that is soon to unfold. We are all just waiting to see what will be happening. After that we talked more of the odd thing in the book and different questions we had other than the ones we talked about. One main question that threw us off was who the character Tony was. we soon figured out that Tony was actually Antonia's nickname, although none of us really caught that at first. we also spent some time looking at all of the visual things in the book, like the Bohemians house, we tried to picture it and clear up the air on how it looked. After spending some time on the setting we talked about each character. Each of us talked about our opinions on each character.
Overall we did our fair share and so far so good.

Day of meeting: March 8
The first day we got our books, and assigned our reading. our reading is mainly spread out by the books in the book we are reading. We all equally put in our thoughts about the amount we should be reading, and decided not to read as much on break so left a little for the break and more on the first few meetings. That was all we really did the first day.
