In "The Rockpile", John and Roy do not always receive the same treatment from the adults in their family. Have you ever felt that you or someone else in your family was treated differently from everyone else? What caused the difference, and do you think it was fair? Explain.

There has been numerous times where I'd felt treated differently by adults and or others. Specifically I remember this one instance in which I'd held a grudge for multiple years before I'd found out the reason was mental, I had  been in a middle school mixed with troubled kids and we had our own number of mentally disabled kids, there was this instance where I hadn't known the kid was troubled or  disabled and he seemed to be ever teacher's favorite student even when troubling other people. I tried numerous times to appease this one older lady, she was near her 80s and was a mean lady. But somehow he always seemed to cheer her up and brighten her mood. It wasn't until I left the school I learned the kid was dealing with issues at home and he was really nice.


Summary: We finished reading the story of the Rock pile and began answering the questions near the end of the story

Reflection: I felt weirdly compassionate over the treatment of John, he seems like a fair child that just needs more attention.

  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 w...

Prompt: Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product?

  Prompt: Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product? I always had a difficult time physically expressing myself, especially when it came to physical relationships. The first poem I wrote for a girl was strange, I never knew how to write well or  how to find the words to express how I feel and now all my weakness were fighting against me. This was in middle school, a time where love meant everything and losing it was basically social suicide. I took days to even text out what I wanted to write and it mainly came from cheesy rom-com tropes and basic literary devices. The closer I got to writing it out on pen and paper the more I was scared to express myself. But when I did finish I was proud, I was proud of the expression and art I made. Summary: We read and rated our understanding of a poem, we read and read and listened Refle...

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.
