Prompt: As Celie’s world expands in these letters, she begins noticing new things about the people in her life. Write about a moment when you suddenly noticed something funny, shocking, or unexpected about someone you see every day (a family member, a classmate, or even a teacher). How did that new discovery change the way you saw them?

 Prompt Response: I remember the day I realized my cousin is a picky eater when I was 17 and he was 16. He said no to eating a salad because he doesn't eat greens. He then refused seafood because he didn't like it despite not trying it once. I wasn't annoyed instead I was hysterical. This kid refused to eat something that he had never tried before off vibes alone. 


Summary: In class we split into small groups to read a series of chapters on and respond to questions on writable. 


Reflection: I think the reason I found my cousin's limited pallet of food hilarious was due to my huge family growing up. If you wanted something to eat you had to eat faster than everyone else and grab it. Then sometimes there wasn't your favorite on the table and you eat it quick because you didn't wanna be hungry. To contrast this with my cousin who typically go what he wanted to eat with how much of it he wanted was humorous to me.

Prompt: Pretend you are writing a blog entry as Celie; the moment you uncover the hidden letters. Describe what you would think, say, and do, and how this discovery would reshape how you see Mister and yourself. Reflect on why this moment would matter so much and how it would change your next choices.

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”?
