 Prompt: Think about a time when someone challenged your opinion or told you that you were wrong. What was the disagreement about, and how did you defend yourself? Did you change their mind, or did they change yours?


A disagreement that really stood out to me in my pasts was a disagreement I had with my at the time close friend over human rights, I believed the rights of a person should be absolute to all peoples even when regarding incarceration but they believed the rights of a person weren't absolute and believed that after commuting and standing jury they have less rights than the average citizen. I defended myself by stating that when those rights are limited and aren't absolute they are given a title as less than human. They didn't change their mind or change mine, we were in absolute disagreement and I couldn't change their minds.


Summary: We finished our poems and began taking notes on arguments.

Reflection: I believed I was really good at arguing even without knowing the full extent of argumentative vocabulary.

  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.
