 Prompt: In Emily Dickinson’s “I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain,” the speaker experiences a mind that seems to work against her. Sometimes our own thoughts can make a situation feel worse than it actually is. Describe a time when overthinking, worrying, or doubting yourself affected the way you handled a situation. What did you learn from the experience?

Response: Overthinking is soo prominent in any social sense, especially when it comes to presenting projects or expressing yourself in a large group. I've felt a variety of times overwhelmed or demotivated while presenting a project and or speaking in public. The main issue is I don't learn too much for my experiences in these situations, I avoid the subject and try to finish the presentation quicker. In general I worry a lot and presenting and projects just make it worse, especially if the project being presented is a group project.


Summary: we read a poem  and analyze the thought process and symbolism

Reflection: I think words have more than one or two meanings, they hold emotion and reflect what the person wants

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people

  Describe one thing that makes you different from other people I think a thing that makes me especially different from other people is my attitude towards certain mental afflictions, I completely refuse to let myself in any sense be reused or seen as a second thought to people I have any resemblance of care towards. The main issue that occurs during this is my reactions towards people pleasers and weaponized guilt tripping. It affects me to a certain extent but the main effect doesn't really have an opportunity to really hurt me. Summary:We begun a reflection based assignment based off a poem, the main thing we questioned was our sense of self and our identity outside of our names. Reflection: During the assignment we had some hard hitting questions that especially were against our selves.
