Prompt: The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

 When I first heard about Jesus and who he was, it changed my perception of life. I found a purpose in life and I now know the true meaning. This changed my life for the better and I began to live my life as a Christian. I still struggle today but getting to know the Lord has been the best plot twist in my life.

Summary: Today we took a quiz on a rose for Emily.

Reflection: I got better at assessments.

Prompt: Write about the best gift you have received.

  The best gift I have ever received is the gift of salvation. I am thankful every day for the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus. He has changed my life for the better ever since I received him. This gift stands tallest among any other gift I have ever received. I am very thankful and wouldn't give this gift of salvation up for anything. Summary: Today I was not here, I went to the courthouse to get my passport. Reflection: I learned how to better look back in my life and write a journal prompt based off past experiences.

Prompt: Dickinson uses the metaphor of a funeral to describe her inner struggles. What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

 I would say that my mind is like a lens. My mind allows me to focus in on the things that are most important to me, without worrying about other things. I focus more on following the Lord than anything else. In this way my mind is just like a lens, I don't focus on things that are only going to hurt me. Summary: Today in class, we completed three common lits. It took a bit but wasn't too difficult. Reflection: I learned how to better analyze theme. Along with that, I also learned how to better apply my own life connections towards other stories and texts.

I have enjoyed this class a lot. I really like Mr. Reese’s teaching style and I have I have learned a lot from that. My favorite assignment that we did is when we made our own poem and presented it to the class. Making my own poem challenged myself and I was able to truly express myself through the poem. One area where I feel I need support is in my vocab. Summary: I stayed home. Reflection: I learned how to better reflect through the blog post.
