Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and spending time with family over a nice dinner. Write about your most unforgettable meal.

  Prompt Response:  My most unforgettable meal is glazed ham. I chose this meal because its the perfect texture not too dry and not too wet. I also like it because on thanksgiving people usually goes for turkey because it's the dish that represents thanksgiving but I prefer ham just because it has a better taste than turkey.  Summary: Today in class we took a quiz on the short story we have been reading in class.  Reflection:  Today in class I learned the theme about the short story.

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"

In “A Rose for Emily,” Miss Emily’s actions shock the reader—she kills her fiancé and keeps his body in her home for years. People often react with disbelief when they hear about real-life stories that seem just as unbelievable. Write about the most shocking or “craziest” news story you have ever heard. What happened, and why did it stand out to you? How did people react to it, and what does it reveal about human behavior?

  Prompt Response:  The most shocking news story I ever heard was a young lady who stabbed her daughter and then called the cops and told them what she did. The mom got a knife and brought her daughter into the bathrooms and stabbed her 20 times or more. she then called 911 and told them what she had done, when the operator asked why she did she said she didn't know why she just did it. This story stood out to me because people really do get out of their mind that bad that they do things with no thought or reason why.  Summary: Today in class we finished up on the short story.  Reflection:  Today in class I learned the shocking ending of the short story "Arose for Emily,"

I choose this place because I would go to Florida kinda like every summer and every time I go their it brings back my childhood and how happy I was then. When I see Florida I see a very up beat place and a lot of fun things to do there so but it also has it bad things like when its hurricane season,and it reflects me because I can be very fun and up beat but sometimes I can also be sad and moody.  Summary: Today in class we read Part 1 and 2 of the story a rose from Emily.  Reflection:  Today in class I learned about a new short story by William Faulkner.

Think about the vocabulary words from Lesson Two. Write about a time you saw or heard one of these words outside of the classroom — maybe in a movie, song, social media post, or book. Describe how it was used and whether the context helped you understand the word better.

Prompt Response:  One of the vocab words is metamorphosis. I heard this word in a superhero movie I think it was about someone transforming into multiple things and that's kinda how he got his nickname. He got his name because people made a joke about how he couldn't control his powers. This kinda helped me understand the word more but during the time I really didn't understand it because it was like a dark humor joke.  Summary: Today in class we did vocabulary exercises.  Reflection: Today in class I learned new vocabulary words.

Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

Prompt Response:  Something my parents forbade me from doing was drawing on myself with pen or marker. They set this rule because they said I would get ink poisoning. When my parents first told me this I didn't believe it because I had done it before and I was healthy and nothing has ever happened. Now, I don't put a pen or marker on myself because I feel it's tacky and they have scared me for life.  Summary: Today in class we read a short story titled "Rockpile" Reflection:  Today in class I learned the definition of Rockpile.
