Reflection Feb/2/22

 Today in class, we finished reading a poem by Emily Dickinson.  Since we've been going over how to analyze poetic texts, we had to do it on our own. Once we came up with our on conclusions, we shared it with our teacher and the class. He would then decide whether what we got from the poem was actually what it was saying.  After that, we were assigned poems at random and put in groups with people who had the same poems.  In the group, we read the poems and analyzed each stanza carefully.  When we came to some kind of understanding, we paraphrased it like usual.  I did try to communicate with my group a little but I guess it was awkward since none of us really talk to each other and three of them just didn't talk at all. We did that until the bell rang and that was it.

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.
