Emily struggles with letting go of people throughout her life, and the ending reveals the extreme length she went to in order to keep Homer with her. Why do you think some people have such a difficult time accepting loss or change? Connect Emily’s actions to your own observations or experiences with people struggling to let go.

 Prompt Response: I think that some people have such a hard time accepting loss or change because it can be something that people get connected with and its where or whom they feel safe with. This can be hard for them to accept that is gone or changed and it can create lots of feelings that makes it hard for people.

Summary: Today we read a short story and watched the film adaptation as well answered some questions on it.

Reflection: Overall I think this helped me understand the texts.

What are 3 goals you want to achieve this year?

 Prompt Response: Three goals that I would like to achieve this year are, meeting more new people, get better at guitar, and get a job. The reason I would like to meet more new people this year is because I want to have a larger support group of people in my life to go to and just to have fun with. I would like to get better at guitar because it is something I am very passionate about, I've played for a few years now and I've improved a lot so I would just like to continue to improve this year. The reason I would like to get a job is because I feel like it will help me both become more independent as well as become more financially responsible. Overall 3 is just a small amount of goals I would like to achieve, there are many more but these are my main three.

“How are you different from others”

Response: No two people are the same, everyone is different from one another. I think that that is cool. I am different from others in the way that I have different interests and beliefs than some people. But I also have the same as others. I think that it is so cool how everyone likes what they like and are still able to get along with one another but sometimes this can cause damage. Summary: Today in class we read a poem by Emily Dickson. Reflection: I thought that it was a good poem especially the more it was read there was more meaning the more it was read and it was short and simple.
