After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.

My most absurd personal experience is in elementary school where we were doing a project together in a group and we were answering questions. My crush someone I liked back then was in the same group as me. His friend had to answer a question and he got it wrong so I laughed at him, but not like crazy mean like it was like a giggle because the way he answered it was like he was trying to be funny. Then when it came to my turn I answered the question I didn't get it right either and my crush said something back, but I forgot. It was very foolish and embarrassing. Which I had no idea why I did, but I thought I was confident in my answer. 

Summary: Today in class we read another poem.

Reflection: I analyzed the poem and understood its meaning.

Write about something that you wish you had more of.

        Something that I wished to have more of is toys. Not like childish toys, but actual figurines. As in Pop Mart toys, those beautiful, shiny, and small little figures. I like opening them from little blind boxes into blind bags. Those are so satisfying and so fun to open. You don't know what your gonna get, but your still excited to see what you get. Especially, if you get a common, rare, or ultra rare. Those are the most exciting. Blind boxes also come in a whole box with other blind boxes you can get. Different figures and other beautiful designs. I love collecting them and store them in my room to look at. Even if I don't play with it I still love to keep them and collect them.  Summary: Today in class Mr. Rease read about peoples blog posts and talking about them.  Reflection: Today I worked on my new blog post and continued to work on my presentation.

Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

      My biggest questions are about after you die. I heard many people believe in the afterlife. But is there really an afterlife after you die? I believe in angels and devils and all that godly stuff. But when your die where does your soul go? Heaven or hell does your body stay in the tomb and you have a resurrection? Another question I have is when I am born do I ever get any signs of who I was before? Was I male or female before this life? What happened to me and can I recover my memories of what happened before me? Summary: We are starting to create our own myths in class from what we read last week. Reflection: I am working on my myth and rough draft, creating ideas.

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?

       A time when I paused to appreciate the beauty of nature was when I go to parks. That moment in the park made me feel at peace and comforting. It made me feel alone and one with nature with just trees and flowers. The beauty it brings is divine and calm and helps me relax while looking at the scenery. Just like in the poem the speaker stood there a while letting it all in. Just like how you are outside and let the air in. Summary: In class we read a new poem and read our own poems. Reflection: I am working on my one reply thing towards the poem that I read and am making it colorful and creative.
