Describe a place where you feel the most at peace and explain why.

 I feel the most at peace in my bedroom in my bed. My bedroom has lots of sunlight and big windows, and I have a big bed with lots of blankets. The bed is very comfortable and relaxing, so it brings me peace to lie down in it. There are no other people in there besides me, so I get to be myself and do what I want to do.

In class, we learned 3 new rhetorical devices.

I learned the difference between a simile and an analogy.

As we think about our upcoming Vocabulary Monday, tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your faovorite word and how often do you use it?

 My favorite word right now is scoop. I like this word because of its simplicity and the way it rolls off my tongue. It also makes me think of scoops of ice cream or a skill in volleyball. I don't use it often, but when I do, it is enjoyable.  Today in class, we worked on our slide projects.  I learned how to connect my childhood experiences to Frost's themes.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

 One time, I had to write a DBQ the next period, but I had forgotten to do the prep work, so I was completely unprepared. I decided to have my mom call me out right before the class, so I wouldn't have to go and write the DBQ. I took the DBQ the next Thursday, and I did really well on it because I had studied and was prepared. This made my life easier because I had less stress going into the test, and I was able to take my time with studying, rather than writing it without any background knowledge and failing it.  In class, we finished our short story and answered questions on it. I learned how to answer the questions using evidence from the story and what I read.

The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

 One time when new information changed my perception of a person was when I found out that my friend was depressed and had an eating disorder. This changed my perception of her because she seemed like the happiest and healthiest person ever, and she showed no signs of struggling.  This reshaped my understanding of everyone because I found out that you never know what is actually going on in someone's mind or at their home. It made me think deeper about all of my loved ones and to make sure I would check up on them. In class, we took a quiz on the story and then watched a movie of it. I learned how to work with my group to figure out the right answers.
