Prompt: If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

 Prompt Response: Three times I use to show love are my car, a playlist, and long messages/letters. I love driving and its my personal time. I use it to get away from everything. So when I want someone to drive with me its a way of letting them into my world. For the playlist, I love music and I'm constantly expanding my horizon for music. So if someone is on my mind a lot I tend to subconsciously make them a playlist they would like. That way when we're together I have something to listen to that they'll like. For the long messages/letters, those are rare. I hardly ever write long messages like that but when I do they are completely honest and unfiltered. Its some of the purest form of affection I can express. 


Summary: In class we had a free day, and finished editing our documents for our oral presentation if needed. 


Reflection: The way I show love is through my actions and spending time. When I don't care about someone I want to avoid them like the plague. But once someone is past those walls I want to introduce them to my world. So I want to show them my interests and share what I have with them.

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.

 Prompt Response: I would be furious. How dare he hide this information from me. The person I care about most he hides from me. I would confront him on the matter that instant. I couldn't live with myself if I had spent years believing in this lie created from him. My view of him would drop to the lowest view of a person. This moment means so much because it betrays any trust Mr.__ could have earned and demonstrates the disconnect between Celie and Mr.__.  Summary: Today in class we read more of the Color Purple and went over answers from the previous day.  Reflection: I cannot imagine the betray Celie felt when she found Mr.__ had kept Nettie's letters from her. I am surprised she didn't lash out more against him. I can't decide if it shows her mental fortitude or weakness to act in this moment.

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”?

 Prompt Response: When I was young this applied to my dad. I feared him and admired him. I admired how he could work so hard and keep going but when he punished me I had this fear of him. That fear didn't go away until I was about 14. The idea of goodness is subjective to what you want to enjoy/acknowledge and once you know that life becomes simpler.  Summary: In class we read The Lamb and The Tyger. Along with that we worked on our one pager about those previously mentioned poems.  Reflection: When I think of the lamb and the tiger I can't help but relate more the tiger. For me its hard to relate to the absolute innocence and blind obedience of the lamb. I think most would choose to be beautiful and dangerous versus innocent and pure.

How was your Fall break?

 Prompt response: I spent the break relaxing and catching up on sleep. Wrestling starts today so I took the break to get in some more running to improve my endurance for the season. I hung out with my friends mostly and caught up with old friends.
