Think about a moment when your understanding of your family changed as you got older. How did that shift impact your perspective, and how does that connect to Chris’s realization about his parents in Chapter 11?

 Prompt Response: My understanding of my family changed when I realized if they wanted respect from others they had to give as well. This connects to Chris because once he found out about the lie his parents kept he felt as tho he didn't have to respect them because they didn't respect him enough to tell him about the history of the family. 

Summary: Today in class we read chapter 11

Reflection: today in class I learned about the secret Chris parents was keeping from him.

And it's like I want both of these things because they are both beneficial but I can't pick between the two.  Summary: Today in class we read two poems by Emily Dickinson and annotated it with the class.  Reflection:  Today in class I worked on my assignment that is due Friday.
