Blog Prompt: Have you ever had a first impression of someone that later turned out to be wrong? What made you form that first impression, and what eventually changed your mind? Based on what you have read so far, what first impression do you have of Mr. Shiflet? Explain what he has said or done that has shaped your opinion of him.

 Prompt: All of my connections have started with first impressions, one person was when I first met my cousin we didn't talk much but when I did try to talk to her I thought that she was standoffish but now talking back with her on the past now that we are closer it turns out she thought I was the same way as well. My first impression of Mr Shiftlet was that he was shady and not to be trusted mostly because of his name and the introduction of him being a tramp. Throughout the story I further deep in my understanding of him when he constantly talked about what he did and who he was as a person without any backing. Now learning that he is a manipulator.

Summary:We read the story

Reflection: First Impressions don't always go as they seem it's better not to base a person on first impressions.

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.
