Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

 A time someone`s words had a lasting impact on me was when my dad told be that I should never be able to get less than a 70 in the class if I was actually completing all of the work even if I failed all the tests. I was never a good test taker so I remember this to know that a C is not acceptable even if the tests were the reason for a low grade and if I did not get a 0% on every test it was possible to get even higher.

We read letters 51-58 in the color purple today and then answered discussion questions. in thr book Celie makes a major change in her life by leaving Albert and moving to Memphis with Shug. In Memphis, she begins , gaining independence and confidence. Meanwhile, Albert struggles with regret and loneliness. Nettie living in Africa, writes about her challenges and struggles against colonialism, while also growing closer to Samuel. Celie learns to love herself and realize she doesn't need Shug or anyone else for her happiness. Eventually, Albert apologizes to Celie for his past treatment, and she starts to forgive him, showing borh of their personal growth and healing.

Story Map

 Today in class we finished our Story maps to be presented tomorrow. I think the maps are a creative way to explain to the class and give a visual presentation of questions related to the story "Two Kinds" and it gave us a creative way to relate to the story. I'm sorry i did not come back to class after I went to the nurse it was like 3:13 and by the time I got there the bell would have rung so I didnt see the point im sorry. My StoryMap will be finished.

In both texts that you read, the line between reality and imagination blurs—the narrator sees a woman in the wallpaper, while Dickinson’s speaker feels their own funeral happening in their mind. Have you ever had an experience where stress, fear, or emotions made something feel distorted or unreal? How did you ground yourself in reality again?

 I have always suffered with high anxiety since middle school, going back in fourth through the years with my mental health. My junior year was really, really bad and the only thing that really helped me get over it was going on medication for anxiety, depression and panic attacks. The panic attack medicine was the biggest help because I was suffering through them multiple times a week.  I really liked the poems we have been reading and that you can have your own thoughts about what they mean to you. Today in  class we read a poem by Emily dickensin and then started answering questions on the yellow wall paper.

Discuss how mastering precise vocabulary can impact your daily communication and academic success.

 More precise vocabulary can help you express your thoughts clearly and reduce misunderstanding. I also think including bigger words that some people might not understand makes you sound smarter. It would definitely be useful in arguments when trying to make a point or discredit someone else`s point. Knowing you're using the correct word can not only make you sound smarter but feel smarter and the more you learn the more you can start including into your vocabulary. In school work you can use the words on other class assignments for different classes and impress teachers. The same things with jobs and making yourself seem more educational with using less average words. Today in class we did lesson 14 vocabulary writing down sentences for all 15 vocab words having to do with them, them using the words we just learned to do exercises 3 and 4.
