Write about an adventure you would like to go on.

Prompt Response: Im not sure about an adventure I would like to go on. I would like to explore Japan and learn about the culture, but more so as a trip. I'm a curious person, but adventures aren't my thing.

Summary: We had a pop quiz based on our vocabulary words that we were supposed to study.

Reflection: Yesterday, Mr.Rease told us we weren't taking the quiz because we had to move on to poetry, but we took it anyway. After the surprise quiz, he taught us to always be prepared for unanticipated things to happen. I understood the mini-lesson, and it was funny to see everyone panic when he started counting down.

The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

Prompt Response:  I had a quiet neighbor, Mr. Henderson, with a beautiful garden, who seemed uptight at first. However, during a walk, his niece told us he was once a flutist whose career ended due to a hand injury. He used his artistic passion for gardening, making it a "silent symphony". His careful care for his plants showed a hidden tragedy, changing my view of him completely. Summary: Today, we took a group test on the story, Reflection:  The test was fairly easy, but some questions stumped my group. Also, a bit of convincing had to be done.

Write about what you are thankful for.

Prompt Response:   I am grateful for a few key people in my life: my father, my bus driver, my stepmom, and my teachers. Each of them goes out of their way to help me, even though they don’t have to. My parents allow me to go out and experience life, my bus driver safely drops me off at my house, and my teachers patiently handle challenges from everyone, including the county and staff, while still providing us with a quality education. Summary: Today, we got 15 new vocabulary words. Reflection: The words were easy, and some were familiar, so the work wasn't difficult.

Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

Prompt Response:  Throughout my life, both of my parents have been lenient. My father, being the more understanding parent, has always told me, "Do what you're supposed to do and you'll be fine." So I've always tried to stay on track. Occasionally, when I slip up, we have a discussion, then if I don't improve or fix the problem afterwards, I'll be disciplined accordingly. My mother, on the other hand, usually blows things out of proportion. Once during the summer, we were going to the store and I put on pants. I went downstairs to put on my shoes, and she told me to switch into shorts. She knew I didn't like to wear shorts outside of the house, but still told me to. I, being against it, told her I did not want to put on shorts and said I was fine. After going back and forth, she took my phone, computer, and TV and told me to go sit in my room. When she got back, I didn't get my stuff until the weekend was over. In conclusion, my mother is more stri...
