Both poems by Robert Frost explore the passage of time and life’s changing moments. Write about a time when something in your life changed more quickly than you expected. How does this experience connect to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay”?

 Prompt Response: A time in my life when something changed quicker than expected was the summer between middle school and high-school. I had so much anxiety about going to high-school and i really hoped that the summer between 8th and 9th grade would be long but unfortunately it went by quickly.  

Summary: We read two poems, analyzed the first as a class and then individually analyzed the second

Reflection: I learned more about how to analyze a poem on my own

Write about a time when you were judged unfairly.

Prompt Response:  There are many times in my life where I was judged unfairly, but the most common and honestly aggravating is when I'm judged and people make assumptions about me for being the youngest child in my family, its especially common in my family where they just think that I'm immature or useless just because I'm the youngest. Others who aren't even in my family will just assume that I'm the favorite child of my parents 3 children just because I'm the youngest or that I'm spoiled or am a brat simply for being born after my brothers. Summary: We worked on a common lit assignment about how fear is a way our minds create stories Reflection:  I learned about how fear shouldn't be treated as a bad thing but that its another form of imagination and storytelling

In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders intruding on their land and their lives. Think about a time when you felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes?

Prompt Response:  Im sure this is a pretty common feeling but for the first month or two of highschool I felt like a big interloper in lakeside. I left 8th grade halfway through the year so I separated from my normal friends for a few months and when I finally came back to normal public school and my old friends I didn't see all of them and for the first semester of freshman year I literally ate lunch completely alone not talking to anyone. I eventually made new friends and reconnected with my middle school friends but in the time before that I felt really alone and like an intruder in public school. Summary:  We worked on the interlopers common lit assignment Reflection:  I learned more about writing implications in stories about antagonize between two main characters

Of today’s 15 vocabulary words, which three do you think you will use the most in your speaking and writing this semester? Explain why each word feels useful or powerful to you.

Prompt Response:  first word I think I will find myself using is Amoral because a. Ive already used it many times in both writing and speaking and b. I really like writing about human and animal physiology and amoral is used a lot in those topics. second word I will find myself using is affinity as I find it a better way to describe mildly liking or loving something  without just saying "like" or 'love".  And finally I think I'll find myself using amorphous because its commonly used in a lot of horror writing and descriptions which is my favorite genre of any type of content and its usage allows for a lot of interpretation from readers. Summary: We learned about the steps of making a essay Reflection:  In class we learned more about how to write the brainstorming for an essay
