Write about a time when you had to rely on your mother (or any other prominent female in your life) during your time of need.

 I depend on my mom daily, I love my mom she is one of my best friends. I have become pretty independent with physical tasks like laundry and cooking but she is there emotionally always. I have always struggled in some way mentally and she has ALWAYS tried her best to help and be there. I relied on her a lot towards the end of my junior year.   I was going through a hard time with friends and it really started affecting my school life and confidence, she helped me manage it and make school easier by getting me a 504. I rely on her most of the time I need someone to talk to, we have a deal that as long as I am honest I most of the time will not get in trouble.


Today in class we went over the culture of African Americans and then read a poem. The poem talks about a girl coming home after suffering a failure, She creeps into her house afraid her mother is not going to forgive her, but a mother's love is unconditional. They will always love you in a stable household. We then asked 5 questions and made some annotations to the poem. We began to talk about the figurative language we saw in the poem. Tomorrow we will identify the different forms of them and then give an analysis.

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.
