How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

Prompt Response: The holidays have changed me over the years because I don't get as many things as I did. Now that I have gotten older my parents get me one thing or just give me the money. We also don't do the holiday traditions anymore now that everyone is older and doesn't have the time or is always working. 

Summary: Today In class we did vocabulary. 

Reflection: Today in class I learned new vocabulary words from lesson six.

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?
