Prompt: Writing is a process, and the first draft is rarely perfect. Strong writers improve their work through revision. After reviewing and revising your literary argument paragraph, what changes did you make to strengthen your writing?

Prompt Response: I realized I completely forgot to add quotes and evidence into my writing. I am not sure how I forgot to put it into my writing but I did. I made sure to add quotes into both of my evidence sections. I also fixed some small spelling and grammar errors. I also decided to make my conclusion sound stronger and more to the point of my argument. 

Summary: I was not at school because I had a raging headache, but I still got my work done.

Reflection: I am feeling a little better about my essay but still a little scared.

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.
