 Prompt: In A Worn Path, Phoenix faces several obstacles as she makes her way toward her destination, but she continues because she has an important reason for completing her journey. 

Think about a time when you had to travel somewhere or work through obstacles to reach a destination or goal. What challenges did you face along the way? Was the journey worth it in the end? Explain why or why not.


Phoenix's journey reminds me of this time during a family trip we had taken to a fresh water lake that wasn't open to the public, we only found out the private aspect a few hours after arriving. But before we'd gotten there we arrived to a dirt road on the side of the main 2 lane road, and before we'd notice the scenery we had a family of angry geese start attacking my dad. Obviously we moved out of their way as they waddled their way into the path, maybe out of stupidity we decided to follow them and we see the blue waters. Second obstacle we were challenged by was the southern man with two dogs. Overall the journey was not worth it. I believe we could've had a similar time at a local beach.

Summary: We reviewed the story "A worn Path" and analyzed a quote as a group.

Reflection: The story was very eye opening and the ending was unexpected. Although my quote was great I still enjoyed analyzing it.

  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.
