“Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 Prompt Response: One time where I was faced with a high-pressure situation was when I decided to pluck an eyelash out of my eye with pointy tweezers. One wrong move, and I could jab myself in the eye, or accidentally remove my entire eye from the socket. I steadied my hand as I slowly brought it closer to my eye. I was holding my first with tweezers with my other as I went in. I held my breath and prayed as I closed the tweezers. I missed. I kept trying, inching the tweezers closer to my eye with every pinch until I had finally gotten it out of my eye. I felt the hair move past the underside of my eye as it left. Once it was finally out, I let out a sigh of relief and wiped the tweezers on my shirt.

Summary: Today we read the poem Out, Out by Robert Frost

Reflection: Today I learned that you have to only accept responsibilities that correspond to your age.

  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. I believe that the right imagination is the true key to staying young at heart as your body grows old. Summary: Today we read the poem "Birches" by Robert Frost and analyzed it.
