The Elevator jan/ 9/ 23

    I think that the film has to be a lesson about how sometimes, trying to get away from one struggle might lead you to another. I feel ase though the guy who was struggling with being comfortable in the elevators could've avoided the problem by taking the stairs. In the first conflict, he was uncomfortable with being in the elevator with a bunch of overweight people because the elevator soon became overcompasitated. I can understand him wanting to get on another elevator because how could he have known what he was walking into? That goes into the next lesson of not judging a book by it's cover. The man assumed that because in the next elevator he caught were skinny people, that there wouldn't be a catch. The film itself gave me an awkward feeling and I didn't like that. In turn, the air of awkwardness was relatable to me as a viewer because I know what it's like being in an elevator full of people you're uncomfortable with.

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.
