Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt Response: One thing that makes me different from others is my sense of emotional maturity. For my age I think I am able to think more deeply and somewhat in a more mature way than others. And that I don't mean that I'm a serious person but that I take in things and try to understand them from different perspectives. I try to think about what people mean when they say or do something. This makes me somewhat different from other people especially in my age group.

Summary: I learned about Emily Dickinson and  how to analyze poems.

Reflection: I now understand American Literature more. By learning about the poem "I'm Nobody, who are you?" it was short but insightful this allowed me to learn more about her perspective.

Prompt: Think about the word or phrase you find yourself using the most right now. What is it, what does it mean, and why has it become part of your everyday vocabulary? Explain when you typically use it and what your choice of this word or phrase might reveal about you.

Prompt Response: Thinking about a phrase that I say most right now it would most likely be ¨forget yourself¨. It is a West African slang that essentially means to get out of here. It is usually said when someone says or does something outrageous you don ´ t agree with. I live in a West African household so I usually say it but even more now because things have been happening left and right. ¨Forget yourself¨ has become almost an automatic saying that I constantly use to express my discomfort and opinion.

Prompt: In “Because I could not stop for Death,” Emily Dickinson presents life as a journey that eventually comes to an end. What experiences in your life have reminded you that time moves quickly? How have those experiences affected the way you value your time?

Prompt: At the end of a long fun day I look back and somewhat reminisce about the fun day I had. It reminds me that as you have fun time passes on and you remember these moments as short-lived moments. Those moments have made me value the people that I'm around and the things I am privileged to do. Now every time that I'm out or somewhere having fun I soak in the moment and avoid being on my phone. I stay close to the people who have brought me laughter and enjoy every moment. Summary: We read and analyzed the poem ¨ Because I could not stop for Death¨ by Emily Dickinson and related them back to ourselves together as a class. Reflection: I have realized that no one can avoid death so it's better to live to the fullest until it's your time.
