1/27 Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

 prompt: something i’ve outgrown is the whimsy of christmas. most years my parents and family will ask me what i want or take me shopping to get what i want, so there’s no mystery of waiting to open gifts. obviously there’s still presents to open but majority of the time i know what it is because i asked for it. i do miss the mystery and suspense of being a kid and opening a you that you never thought you’d get.


summary: worked on the rest of chapter seven and group work


reflection: learned how to collaborate ideas about theme

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

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

Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

 Prompt: A time someones legs had a lasting effect on me was when my friend once told me I was a great listener. Even though it was a simple passing compliment, it meant a lot to me that a friend considered me a safe place where someone actually listened to her. It made me work hard to make sure that other people also felt like I was a safe place for them, and it ended up being a trait I took pride in.  summary: watched presentations of everyone's analysis of the book characters reflection: Learned a deeper understanding of how everyone analyzed the character
