Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

 Prompt Response: My dad has always been the one that is more strict. But I would say my parents are pretty chill compared to others. I do no have a curfew, I've never been grounded, never been beat. For the most part my dad will give me a lecture and make sure that I learned my lesson. My dad is able to trust me enough to give me more freedoms. I have viewed discipline in a neutral way. I don't like it but it is important.

Summary: Working on our projects

Reflection: I learned more about analyzing stories.

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.
