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 response: When I was really young roller coasters scared me really bad. The whole idea of being flung around in the air sounded scary and dangerous. As I grew up I realized that a lot of the world loves roller coasters and that has to mean something. I decided I would try some simple small ones, but those felt boring to me. I decided to try the bigger and more daring ones and that is when I realized I loved adrenaline and everything about roller coasters. I was so scared to begin anything with roller coasters but now I do not even feel fear getting on to very extreme rides. 

summary: In the end people should always try new things even if they are scared. Being scared make you human but you have to enjoy the world while you are still on it.

reflection: I am still enjoying reading poems and I really like making the one pager. Its creative and fun.

Prompt :  What would you do: tell your friend to confess, tell their partner yourself, or stay quiet? Explain your choice, using ideas about loyalty and consequences from  Fences .  Prompt Response:  I have been through a situation like this before. My friend was cheating every weekend and her boyfriend knew but had no proof. I really liked my friend but it got to the point where I felt bad for her boyfriend. I eventually told him because she did not even want to be in a relationship but I still felt bad. I think that if she had cheated once but wanted to change I would have never told, but It was an ongoing situation. Summary: In class we read more but I had to leave early. Reflection: I am still really intrigued by this book and I think it shows real standards in real life.

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

Prompt: Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.  Prompt Response:  When I was at my family's friends house I was playing hide and seek with my two friends. During this time their dad was around a lot and did not live in Vegas at this time. A few years later his wife divorced him and now he lives in Vegas. But, one day my friends and I were all hanging out and he came down. When I was younger my ears were more out and bigger. He said that my ears made me look like a monkey. And then my friends decided it was funny and started saying it too. I think that a father should not be making jokes about his daughters friends, but he did anyways. Now, since then I always want to cover my ears and not make them noticeable. I have realized that I have grown and they are not as out and as big, but I still feel like that little kid. I feel like my ears are always out and I do not want people to see them.  Summary: In class we presented our posters. My poster wa...
