Write about a time when you were judged unfairly.

 Prompt: A time I was judged unfairly was during a hangout with my cousins. At the time I was a lot younger than them, around 10 years old and they were all 15+, and they were playing on one of my cousins playstation. They wouldn't let me get a controller because they assumed I was too young to be good at any team games or pvp games. As it turned out I ended up winning a couple rounds after begging (as little kids do) and they realized they had judged me wrong. 

Reflection: Learned about Bandura's theory and analyzed the story.

Summary: Worked on common lit and answered questions.

What do you know about your birth

 prompt: What I know is that my birth was unpredictable, that I came out two weeks later than I was expected to. I don't know much about what the birth process was like, but I know my mom had an epidural which she complains is the reason her back hurts to this day. I was born in the evening around 6pm, and it was suggested my mom had a c-section but she decided to go with natural birth. Afterwards she had to get a lot of stitches. I wasn't explicitly named after a 2000's girl group singer, but that is where my mom got inspiration for my name.  summary: Read two poems by William Blake and analyzed what they represent and the imagery/meaning of both. reflection: Practiced analyzing poems and understanding comparisons and diction

In "The Lamb" and "The Tyger", both poems suggest that beauty and danger can come from the same source. Describe a time when something or someone you admired also scared or challenged you. How did that experience change the way you see the world or the idea of “goodness”?

 Prompt: A time that something I admired had also been considered scary is during a thunderstorm. Though there was crackling lightning and loud thunder, as well as a threat of the power going out, I found the crackle of light across the sky to be very beautiful. I think nature and weather is most intriguing when it is extreme, like hurricanes or tornadoes, even though it is threatening to humans and our cities.  Summary: Received one-pager assignment and started to work on pager that's meant to compare the poems "the lamb" and "the tyger" Reflection: Practiced how to analyze poems and find their themes

Blake uses the chimney sweepers to expose how society ignores suffering. Reflect on a time when you noticed someone being treated unfairly or saw a situation that didn’t seem right. How does this experience connect to the emotions or ideas expressed in one or both poems?

 prompt: A time I witnessed a situation that didn't seem right was a time I was visiting family in NYC and saw this particular homeless guy that camps out in the same spot day after day. He was on the side of a busy road that we were walking on, and plenty of people were stepping over where he was sitting on the sidewalk, and being ignored. This made me feel like the situation was not right because people were acting as if he was a burden and he was deserving of being stepped over and ignored and getting harsh side-glances. It relates to the poem in the way that someones suffering is being deliberately ignored and they have nothing to do but use hope/faith that someone will help them as a way to cope.  summary: worked on reading the last few Blake poems and analyzed theme and topic. reflection: learned how to pluck multiple themes from a poem and summarize them
