Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

Prompt: When Celie says, “The God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know,” she expresses disappointment, betrayal, and disillusionment. Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

Prompt Response: When I was super little I believed in Santa Clause and the tooth fairy and things like that. I am pretty sure most kids go though this phase even if some don't believe as much as others. I wanted to believe so I think I believed a little bit longer. Once I realized things like that were not real I started to wonder why those things were made. As I have gone through life I have realized that we put distractions into life so that its not as depressing and boring. Without phones, candy, yummy food, movies, and other things that make people feel happy and different, our society would fail. If people did not have happiness then why would we live. I think that growing up is one of the worst things because you realize how life is a challenge and you are more trying to survive then to live. 

Summary: In class we wrote a 10 line poem and I made mine about how Celie is becoming more depressed and losing her faith in God. 

Reflection: I think the ending of this book is getting more and more interesting. I think her even threatening Mister In a way is something that she would have never imagined doing at the beginning of the book.

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...
