Last meeting

LAST MEETING!!!!!!
We had our meeting that concluded our ending of the book. It kind of reminded me of our first meeting except is was about reflecting on the book than what was to come. We talked about what we thought about the book as a whole and then we talked about the book in sections. For instance we spoke about how the beginning of the book lacked in excitement but the middle of the book was by far the best part. I for one am pleased to finish the book, and to know the entire story.

day 7

Day 7
Scribe
this meeting was pretty good. Zoe was back however, her she didn't really put much into the discussion, she did however participate. Everyone else did really well and everyone read everything they needed to. We read the next book in the book. In the book we read Jim goes back to see Antonia after he completes his courses at harvard, and at the end of the promises to come back soon.
Some questions that we had:
How come Jim only goes for two years to college and the law school?
How does he obtain the horse and cart?
Will Jim and Antonia now get married?
Will Jim ever see Antonia again? If he does when?
What will happen to Jim in the future? Will he go to back to boston?
Who does he marry?

Some questions were fairly easy other we didn't know. We talked a lot about the future of Jim and Antonia. we figured they would end up as close friends but will live far apart.

day 6

DAY 6
It was a good meeting, however Zoe was missing from our group so the conversation wasn't as in depth as it usually was. We read the book Lena Lingard. it was very short and was an easy discussion. It was about Jim in Lincoln and his time with Lena. We talked about how Lena effects him in the future and about there relationship. we didn't have many questions, and for the one that we had they were easily solved. It was a good meeting overall.
