Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

 

    Once I took a hiatus from music. COVID started to hit and I was losing my motivation to play. I almost quit until my mother threatened to give away my piano if I didn't take a lesson, so I went back to it. This really changed my outlook on how many things people leave behind without releasing how it would change them. If my mom didn't get me back on music I  would have quit, and that would be the end of my music journey. Now I'm planning to go to college for music.


We learned more about rhetorical devices.


I learned about hypophora.

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".
