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.

Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

        An object that carries my story is my journal. Every day I write in my journal each day in different pages. Each page everyday is a new story and chapter. Every time I write it brings a connection towards my life and each detail every day. My journal is meaningful to me because I could be scrap-booking in it and drawing not just writing. My whole life is in there every day. The days in my life everyday hold a story in my journal that opens to new pages and new things. I carry it everywhere towards new destinations of my journey.  Summary: In class today we read about a myth called the Navajo Creation where it talks about an object turning into 4 different places where humans find a right way to live and harvest. Reflection: What I took away from this story is that you don't take things for granted but once a door closes another door opens.

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

      A time that I have felt connected to nature would be when animals would be killed for peoples needs or pollution. The universe these days have a huge amount of population around the world. Trash and other resources are being polluted and this affects animals that eat it or the plants that grow. Animals are also being killed for peoples needs which is a sad way of how nature works. I feel very sad and sorrowful for this problem around the world. Native Americans have lived through years and years of a connection through nature and the history of beliefs. Summary : In class today I learned about Native Americans oral literature and the differences between Myths, Religion, and Urban Legends.  Reflection: What I took from today's class would be to understand how Native Americans differ from their history of literature and different types of mythological literature.

Prompt: As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

 As I get older and face new things, I think the thing I will most worry about is growing up. The process of growing up takes a long time from when you are young. Getting to know and understand new things may be challenging. Like not knowing how money works in the real world, or having to have money for everything in life that you are going to do. Like food, a home, your job, and a car. All those apply to money and how you will get it. Part of the adult process is including all those things. Then you have to start a family and take care of that, now for me I still feel young and that process will take a lot and getting used to it.  Summary: Today In class our teacher went over presentations about the 3 literary forms of writing. He then talked about the beginnings of how to start an essay. Reflection: Today in class I worked on examples and started to understand how the 3 claims work.
