You’ve been in American Literature for 4.5 weeks now. How has the class been going for you so far?

     

    So far class has not been too bad. I really enjoyed creating an origin myth, I wasn't fond of using Writable though. The grammar, and spell check tools were really annoying to use. I am really eager to start poetry. I grew up reading Shel Silverstein, his poems really got me into poetry.


We read a poem about losing a loved one.


I learned about Heart, we will forget him!.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

      My friends and I go to parks a lot. One time the invited me to go with them, It was night around 8 and I decided not to go. Later on that night my friend got badly hurt, and had to go back home, and miss a day of school. By not going I was able to avoid getting hurt like my friend. We finished the story story "The Life You Save May Be Your Own". I learned about the lesson the story taught.

Both poems by Robert Frost explore the passage of time and life’s changing moments. Write about a time when something in your life changed more quickly than you expected. How does this experience connect to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay”?

      A time that my life moved to fast was when I was a child. I spent a lot of my early childhood moving, so I never really got to make really close connections with a lot of people. This connects to Robert Frost poems since I wonder what would happen if I didn't move a lot, just like how in one of Robert's poems the narrator wonders what his life would have been if he took a different path. We read two poems by Robert Frost. I learned about how good things come and go.

Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

      Once I went on a large camping trip with a bunch of people, and one night we decided to look up at the stars, and that was the first time I saw the Milky Way, the real Milky Way. The sky was so clear, and there were no lights around us, just pitch black, a purple, blue, and starry sky. I could see the massive line in the sky where many stars came to gather, it almost felt like we were an egg, with a giant crack at the top. It changed my perspective on lights in our society, the sky we got robbed of. I could have gone my whole life by only seeing a few stars each night. The sky woke me, I could see why in the past people built religion just on the stars. I only hope to see it again. We read to Robert Frost poems. I learned the meaning of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
