 Prompt: 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.

Prompt Response:

I don't really have any absurd personal experience, I didn't do anything risky in life because I was a whole coward and preferred to stay safe and even if I did I wouldn't recall any of it. But I can say who else did foolish things or something absurd, once when I transferred into a new middle school during semester 2 in 7th grade, it was 6th pd and this very short fellow Hispanic never stopped bothering me. That year was the year when on tiktok or public, guys would 'scream' out loud in an inappropriate manner and they would do it every second which I personally found disturbing and annoying, this dude decided to creep up behind me and did it right on my ear very loudly. My ears hurt after that.

Summary:

Today we went over a poem, " Lawrence Ferlinghetti > Constantly Risking Absurdity y mi traduccion" with Mr. Rease once again. He put up a video on the screen showing this dude walking and balancing across the grand canyon, we also were told that his grandfather died doing this too. When analyzing the poem, Mr. Rease gave us definitions to write down and some main ideas of the stanza, we were supposed to write down our annotations. 

Reflection:

I learned in this poem that the poet does not need to lie and determines what is a good poem and writes from the heart. The poet will always evolve and despite reaching the end it will never be enough.
