Dickinson uses the metaphor of a funeral to describe her inner struggles. What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

Prompt: Dickinson uses the metaphor of a funeral to describe her inner struggles. What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

Prompt Response:

I could use the metaphor of an attic or scatterbrain to describe my own mind, because I like to think a lot and most times it doesn't really be organized or doesn't come out right. I can forget things and I can have many ideas or no ideas at all, even if I were to get an idea I wouldn't know how to put it into words or on paper.

Summary:

Today we looked over two poems with Mr. Rease, we analyzed the poems and basically translate it in a way we can understand. The two poems "Heart We Will Forget Him!" and "I felt a Funeral, in my brain," by Emily Dickinson. We went over their themes and the meaning of certain words in the poems. 

Reflection:

I am starting to learn some ways on how to interpret poems and how simple it sometimes can be if you put your mind into it. From what I read I can also see where Emily Dickinson was coming from, especially when shes from the 1700s or 1800s, where it was even more strange to be reclusive as her.

 Prompt:  Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research. Prompt Response: The most compelling issue connected to it is the massive enforcement and deportation initiatives with humanitarian protection obligations and civil liberties. More specifically, the tightened U.S. immigration regime, I find it interesting and important since it's a big major issue today. The immigration policies of the country had impacted economically, socially, and politically, creating different outcomes for the immigrants or migrants who struggle to survive. Summary: Today we worked on selecting sources, each person presented a source from each category, then we would pick the best one to use. Mr. Rease gave us two worksheets to work on, my group managed to finished one paper. We had to fill in the ...

As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course.

Prompt Response: What I most enjoyed about this class was how funny my classmates can be, the only entertaining people of my day since everybody in my other classes are either boring or annoying. I also enjoyed the work, not always but the majority of it was not overwhelming and I appreciate how Mr. Rease thoroughly explains what we need to do. I haven't felt completely clueless in a while and its a great feeling compared to last year. I don't really recall any project or assignment that I fou...

  Reflection: This assignment helped me reflect over my character and how simple I can be, I already knew some of the basic stuff about myself and it was nice to look back into it again. I barely needed to introduce my character or personality with other people so this is one of the few experiences that I get to do so.
