Writing Prompts from Cheryl Strayed (10. secret being revealed)

 Brian had done something that he couldn't allow his girlfriend, Jasmine to find out.  The only ones who knew were his homeboys.  He had cheated..multiple times. Yes, he felt guilty but as long as he got away with it, he would continue to do it.  Little did he know that his girlfriend had a secret of her own.  She was going to break the news to him soon, she just didn't want to break his heart.  Jasmine had come to the realization that she was attracted to girls.  She found out because she was close to one of Brian's homeboy's sister.  They ended up falling for each other and the only ones that knew was Jasmine's bestfriend, mom, sister, and Brian's homeboy who is the brother of the girl she likes.  On their next get together, Brian and Jasmine broke the news to each other.  They were both hurt but they both had others to move on to and distract themselves with.  Brian's homeboy was no longer his homeboy 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.
