Imagine it's the year 2050. What does the world look like? How have technology, society, and the environment changed?

 During the summer I worked with a man who informed me of many things that I later learned were true by the time we get to 2025. The population is at 8 billion now when the earth is only supposed to be able to sustain 3 or 4 billion, by 2025 it is expected to be at 9.8 billion. I think we are going to start running out of resources, food, and energy. I also think more and more natural disasters are going to happen with global warming. 

Today in class we read the letters 71-75 in the color purple and then answered discussion questions.

I was not here. Write about a time you didn’t feel like yourself.

A time I did not feel like I was coming back from summer break out the sophomore year going into my senoir year. I had become distant with most of the friends I had made at Lakeside and was hanging out with people from different schools instead. Going into classes the first day I did not speak at all to the people I had been friends with in previous high school years. It wasn`t until later in the semester when we started actually talking to them again it felt normal to come to school and act how I previously did.

Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

If I had to write a letter to myself 10 years from now I would tell myself to remember to care less about what people think because life is too short for that.  I currently think too much about what people think but I think once I leave high school that will get better in the future I see no reason for me to care so much, but just in case I forgot I would remind myself. Today in class we had a sub and read pages 66-77 in the color purple and answered 5 discussion questions. Explaining the key plot points revealed within their family relationships, why there is a dramatic structure in one of the letters, what people's actions reveal about their character, how their behavior confirms things we already know about them, and how quotes reveal things about their character.

Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it’s important to you.

 An object that holds importance to me is the jewelry box I got when I was around 9 years old. I was going through her storage room while having a sleepover at her house. When I found it I brought it to her and asked if I could keep it and when she said yes I filled it with candy from her house. I now use it for rings and bracelets and it sits on my vanity away from anything that could break it. Today in class we read two chapters of the color purple, letters 36 and 37, we then did a worksheet. The worksheet went over the relationships between the characters, their tension or conflict, and a quote that showed the tension/ conflict in those two letters. It helped me get a deeper understanding of the character's relationships and why there is conflict and tension between them.
