Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

 Prompt response: The hardest topic from the worksheet would be the questions about what people thought about you or have said things to you that are negative. The reason it was hard was due to the fact that I did not really care to remember those negative comments for long. After while I forgot about those times and went on with life. Some comments did stick with me but over time I changed and those comments no longer apply to me.

Summary: Today in class we started on our simile and metaphor poster.

Reflection: I think I started off okay with the poster. I do think I spent too much time on coming up with the layout of my poster though.

Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

 Prompt:  I’ve always been curious about historical and government corruption. I think this curiosity stems from world history and political history but it sure is something I think about every now and then. Currently many people believe for example that the U.S is falling into corruption. Our current president has caused many to retaliate his actions and administration. But it’s not just the U.S that has government corruption other countries in Africa also have major corruption issues. My main curiosity is to find or know where it all started and who is responsible for it (historically wise). Many say it’s the “Deep State” others say it’s the “Illuminati” who ever or what ever it is I’d like to know.     Summary: Today in class we finished our characterization poster.  Reflection: Finishing the poster wasn’t too difficult. I did struggle a bit on the analysis of Rose’s role in the play.

After hearing your classmates’ storymap presentations, choose one classmate’s story that stood out to you. Write about what you liked or learned from their journey and explain why it was meaningful to you.

 Prompt Response: I really enjoyed Roxxane's story map. It had an interesting and serious tone to it. The interesting part was the curse that runs in her family. I was surprised and shocked to hear that the majority of the deaths in her family have been all males. That was very shocking. I did like how for some parts of her story map it got serious. The situation with her mom pressuring Roxxane to follow in her footsteps and become a Jehovah's Witness was very relatable. It was relatable in a sense of knowing how it feels to be pressured to follow your parents foot steps in something you don't agree with or want to do.     Summary: Today in class we presented our story map and scored our classmates' story maps.  Reflection: Seeing my classmates present their story maps really showed how different people had it growing up and how different everyone's experiences were. And it gave me an opportunity to learn more about my classmates.

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

 Prompt Response: During a reception at a church for a wedding, the pastor mentioned that you and your partner should never sleep apart. He mentioned that separation always starts off with the little things. Someone gets mad and they sleep on the couch or they go out and sleep over at a friends house. He encouraged forgiveness to one another and that every day is a new day to try again. The reason that stuck with me was because I've seen many relationships in my family never last long or end up terribly. I don't ever want that to happen to me in the future with my wife.  Summary: Today in class we presented our posters.  Reflection: I liked our poster for Rose except for one thing. For the most part I liked everything but next time I’ll get a card to read off of better.
