Friday 8/23

today we presented our group project about the poem by Emily Dickinson. I think the poem really impacted me and gave me thoughts i’ve never had. For example how being a “nobody” embraces a life of freedom and peace and self identity. i like the thing you said about if there was no one to compliment us or make us feel better how do we that ourselves. i think i like breaking down poems and finding the true meanings behind them and the stories they can reveal. today i worked straight after school and was kind of fustrated but i finished work and looked into meditation and thought it was really cool.

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

  Prompt Response:   When my teacher told me, "You’re stronger than you think," it stuck with me. It made me believe in myself during tough times. Those words still push me to keep going. Summary: Today was a digital learning day so we didn't have school. Mr. Rease assigned us discussion questions for letters 51-55 on the book The Color Purple. Pretty much it for today Reflection:  Today I didn't think it was going to snow but it did in the afternoon. It looked cool at first but then it got worse. The roads were covered in black ice and it became very dangerous for people to drive. My friend couldn't make it home so he had to come over to my house. Overall the snow was fun but it was very dangerous. I wish we could go back to school.

Prompt: Write about what you remember or have been told about the day you were born. What were the emotions or events surrounding it? Do you relate more to "Infant Joy" or "Infant Sorrow"?

  I was told that the day I was born was a very happy day for my family. Everyone was excited and full of joy. Because of that, I feel like I relate more to Infant Joy. It was a peaceful and special moment for them. Today in class, we started our one-pager on The Lamb and The Tyger by William Blake. We talked about how The Lamb represents innocence and kindness, while The Tyger shows strength and mystery. We also looked at the symbolism in both poems and how Blake uses it to explore good and evil. The poems show different sides of life and creation. Overall, today was a bad day because we lost our playoff game in soccer. It was tough since we had worked so hard to get that far, and everyone was really hoping for a win. We played our best, but it just wasn’t enough. It’s disappointing, but we’ll use it as motivation to improve for next season.

Prompt: After reading The Tyger by William Blake, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you.

  I think the most beautiful creation in the world is the ocean. It is so big and full of life, with blue water that shines in the sun. Every wave and every creature inside it shows how amazing nature is. The ocean inspires me because it feels peaceful but powerful at the same time. Today in class, we read The Tyger by William Blake. After reading it, we analyzed it together as a class. We talked about what the poem means and shared our ideas . School was okay today. Classes went by like usual, and there wasn’t anything crazy or exciting that happened. I just focused on my work and hung out with some friends during lunch. Overall, it was a pretty calm and normal day.
