If you were to compose a poem about one aspect of your life, which topic would it fall into and what would your overall life's message be?

 Prompt Response: I feel that if I had to write a poem about my life, it would contain many aspects of change. It would be under the topic of change, but it would hold many aspects of new beginnings and opportunities. This is due to a lot of things that have happened in my life and experiences that have shaped me into the person that I am today. Sometimes even though it’s hard to see at the time, change can often be good and it builds you up and shapes you into the person you might not want to be, but the person you need to be. 

Summary: Today in class, we analyzed poems by Emily Dickerson and put them into categories, and found the theme and conflict of them.

Reflection: Today I learned how diverse Emily Dickinson’s poems can be just from one line.

  Prompt Response:  I think the most challenging part of the annotated bibliography was the evaluation. I think this was because I was trying to avoid saying the same thing for each paragraph and source, though I had the same reason for almost all of them. That is what made this challenging for me personally. Summary: Today we started our Writeable sourcing assignment for our research essay. Reflection:  Today I learned that I struggle with simple things.

In “Birches,” Robert Frost celebrates imagination as a way to escape life’s difficulties and reconnect with innocence. The speaker wishes to “get away from earth awhile” but also understands that he must eventually return to reality. Think about the role of imagination in your own life. How does imagination help you cope with challenges, boredom, or stress?

  Prompt Response:  Recently, I have found myself trying to expand my imagination. I have grown up being told what to think and what to believe that I now struggle to form my own thoughts, opinions, or creative ideas. I have been trying to expose myself to other forms of art and other's ideas in hopes to broaden my horizons, and overall, my ideas.
