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: Something that changes very quickly is how fast my life is going in high school. I feel like I was just in 8th grade getting ready to start my 9th grade year, this has changed my life because I don't feel 100 % ready to get into the real world and have to be an adult. This connects to Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" because my childhood before high school was gold but that can't stay forever. In the poem he used the seasons of the year to identify that change and life is a lot like season that change and continue to go circles but just different things are happening each cycle. 

Summary: Today in class we read 2 poems by Robert Frost and did a worksheet. 

Reflection: Today in class I learned the tone of Robert Frost poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" which is factual.

  Prompt Response:  A time I encountered a homeless man is when me and my mom were getting wings for dinner and it was 2 homeless man and one of them asked my mom could she spare any change after she payed. My mom comes out and give him a dollar and the 2nd homeless man asked her for one but she didn't have any cash. He then starts to argue with my mom because he didn't get the dollar, so I asked my mom to give him the food I had in the car already but he didn't want it because he wanted a dollar. I was wondering why he didn't want the food because he probably hadn't ate yet. It made me feel like I wasn't doing enough because all I had was food I could give him.  Summary: Today in class we read a new short story.  Reflection:  today in class I learned the meaning of Tramp.

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?

  Prompt Response:  A time when new information changed me is when I had a true friend but they ended being so weird and not what I thought they were. When I was friends with her she would talk about people to me and I could never think she was talking about me behind my back. The plot twist in this situation reshape my understanding because if you have a friend that talks with about other people 9/10 they are talking about you with another person. This also taught me that everyone isn't your friend.  Summary: Today in class we took a group test on the short story "A Rose for Emily" Reflection:  Today in class i learned about deeper things about the short story "A Rose for Emily"
