Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt Response: Something that makes me different from a lot of people is that I am tall. I'm not that tall but compared to the average person my age I am usually taller or as tall as them. I do not know why because my mom is not that tall. My dad is also not that tall but my brother is. Maybe those height genes skipped a generation because my moms dad is very tall. He is still taller than me and he is 80 something. He's very old. 

Summary: Learning more about poems and how to analyze them.

Reflection: I learned about the complexities of Emily Dickinson poems.

In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders intruding on their land and their lives. Think about a time when you felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes?

  Prompt Response:  A time I felt like an interloper was when I came to lakeside because where I went to middle school was very far from here so I didn't know that many people. Having to get myself into friend groups at first felt like I was out of place. I don't like having to go through that, I don't think anyone does, but you need to and it is an important skill in life. The only effect it really had was making me try harder to be apart of whatever group because I didn't want to be in that spot anymore.  Summary: I did the common lit. Reflection:  I learned about human/nature relationships and how they can be told in a story.

Describe a time that you had an encounter with a homeless person, either directly or indirectly. What did you think and how did it make you feel?

  Prompt Response:  A time I encountered a homeless man was when we were outside a Waffle House and he just started talking to us. He later told us he was blind. I felt really bad and kind of wondered how he ended up on the streets. It makes me sad to see homeless people even if a lot of their time it is their fault for abusing drugs or other substances. Summary:  I was absent Reflection:  I was absent

After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.

  Prompt Response:  A personal experience that I have had that was absurd was when I was driving home a couple weeks ago from school. Everything was normal and I was about half way home and I was pulling up to multiple intersections. I had three green lights ahead of me so I kept going straight because I had the right of way. As I glanced across the road I saw a car pull up from a side street looking to merge into traffic. I didn't think much of it because I was going fast enough for it to be impossible for them to make the gap. But they decided to gun it and they did miss the gap and ended up slamming into the side of me. I tried to swerve but there was no time. After that I stopped on the road and they ran from the crime scene.  Summary: We analyzed another poem.  Reflection:  I learned how comparison can be used in poetry.
