Reflection Jan/12/23

   In class, Mr.Reese played a film called "The Last 3 Minutes". In the film, we watched a man die.  When he died, we saw his life flash before his eyes.  We got to see his good memories and his bad memories from when he was a baby to an adult.  After the film, we had to write about what we thought the purpose of life was. I stated that I thought the purpose of life was to live, experience, learn, and die.  Once we finished our writing on what the purpose of life was, we shared our responses.  Next, we read another poem by Langston Hughes called "I, Too".  This poem talked about how equality wasn't a thing at one point in time but in the future, equality will be a thing.  It also talked about how we're all American despite our differences.

Writing Prompts from Cheryl Strayed. (1. inappropriate for the occation) 4/21/23

 It'd had been the summer of 2014 and I was over at my grandma's.  As you get older, an unspoken expectation of you gets larger.  In this case, the expectation had been knowing how to carry myself at my grandmother's church without having to be corrected.  Back when I did go to church, I dressed formal but it wasn't strict because It was my mom's church.  The difference between my mom and my grandma's church was simply demographic, and my grandma's church was full of old or conservative Jamaicans.  I decided that one morning I would wear some shorts and a tank top after the service was over which my grandma didn't approve of.  I ended up having to go home; I wasn't complaining though.

Reflection Jan/20/23

 In class, Mr.Rease gave us a writing prompt. We had to think of a topic that we thought was overrated. The topic I went with was “wanting to fitting in”.  We then had to come up with five points to go with the main topic. My subtopics were: insecure, dependent, bad clout, superficial, and temporary. Of course, we had to elaborate on those subtopics. We put them in a graph where theres a circle in the middle and the small circles extending from it. Next week we’ll turn them into essays.
