In “The Rockpile,” the children know that the rockpile is dangerous and that they are supposed to stay away from it, but curiosity still draws them toward it. Think about a time when curiosity or temptation caused you to ignore a warning or rule. What happened, and what did you learn from the experience?

Prompt Response: A time I was tempted to ignore a rule was when I went behind the fence of my old house. I was curious as to what was back there but was told not to because it may be dangerous due to poison ivy, holes, or coyotes. But I was curious so I went back there but there  wasn't any immediate danger, just some thorns and fallen trees. I learned that seeing things for yourself and making your own judgement if often important.

Summary: A time I was tempted to ignore a rule was when I went behind the fence of my old house. I was curious as to what was back there but was told not to because it may be dangerous due to poison ivy, holes, or coyotes.

Reflection: I didn't like the father or any of the adult characters in "The Rockpile"

Reflection:  I learned Emily made many poems and they weren't popular until she died. unfortunatly they got popular at all so now I have to learn them.

In “A Worn Path,” Phoenix has a memorable encounter and conversation with the hunter during her journey. Think about a conversation you have had that had a lasting impact on you. What was the conversation about, and how did it change your thinking, perspective, or actions?

Prompt Response:  I cant remember a conversation that changed me. I do think they have the power to change people though. A conversation can change someone's view on somethings or provide helpful insight that may change their mind. This change can be good or bad or neutral like making someone nicer, giving someone bad ideas, changing an opinion of a game. Summary:  I do think they have the power to change people though. This change can be good or bad or neutral like making someone nicer, giving someone bad ideas, changing an opinion of a game. Reflection: Ms. Phoenix seems nice.

3 goals I want to achieve this year

     This year I want to achieve all A’s in my classes because I need a higher GPA to get into my dream college and I didn't get all A’s last year.

The last goal I want to achieve this year is to go to bed at an earlier time because I go to bed later than I should and it affects my school because I'm tired and it's hard to focus but I believe the anti-procrastination goal will help a lot with this.
