I have only done a couple, but I realized how if I really related to what the prompt was, it was easy for me to think of the time, but it would become overwhelming and I didn't know how to put it into words. I liked how the prompts were pretty deep topics that almost everyone could relate to. I tried to use symbolism for some of my metaphors. I like how they were personal and they can easily put into words the different harsh experiences that people have gone through. I like how its easy to express emotion through . 


Summary- We went over similes and metaphors in a poem.

Reflection- Using our own experiences and putting them into metaphors and similes.

Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester. This first semester course has provided lots of learning growth for me. I really enjoyed this course because learning new things was easy and the concepts were not difficult to understand. What I enjoyed the most about this class is how deep we dove into the meaning of things. Nothing was ever just on there surface, we really dove into to see the deeper, hidden meanings of whatever we were learning. There was a lot of clarity because we always knew what the word meant, of the theme. I feel li...

Prompt: Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

In seventh grade, me and my best friend had sort of a fight.  It was a stupid argument, and it was during the summer. After our fight we didn't really talk for the rest of the summer. I was really scared that i would lose my best friend because of this. But i realized that if our friendship could crumble after one little fight, lour friendship would not have gone anywhere. I thought that we were really good friends, but i realized how friendship didn't have any real foundation. So that was my hiatus, a break from a friendship. And it taught me value strong friendships and make sure to build them strongly. And now she is still my best friend to this day.  summary- We learned more rhetoric elements reflection- learning more of the meanings of these elements.

  Prompt: In  Into the Wild , Christopher McCandless gives up many of his possessions in pursuit of freedom and meaningful experiences. If you had to simplify your life and keep only a few important possessions, what would you keep and why? What would be hardest to leave behind? The important possessions that I would keep would be like my blanket, my car, my dogs, my apple products like my airpods, phone, macbook, and apple watch, and money and my bed. And the hardest thing to give up would probably have to be like all my excessive clothes and like all the things I have in my room. But if I had to choose something from the list I would say my bed. I love my bed very much and I would not want to give that up.  Summary- Today we read the first chapter of the book and then answered 10 questions about the chapter.  Reflection- learning never to go on a hike and be irresponsible like the man in the book was.
