Prompt: The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

Prompt Response:
The "plot twist" was not entirely too shocking for me, I read works with the same ending but I guess it was not what I expected from Emily. I misread the text and missed the part that Homer never really left the house to begin with, then all the dots connected when I reread it and the plot twist started to make sense immediately. It reshaped my understanding about Emily and how the story had gradually turned dark up into this moment.

Summary:
Today we had another pop quiz to do based on the text "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner, it had 24 questions and we were required to get a 100% with no exceptions, any grade below 100 is a zero in the grade book. We were allowed to work as a group to complete the questions together, by the end of the class everybody got a 100% on it.

Reflection:
I learned that with a group and all our brains together, we were able to provide information to one another that the other might have not known. Despite there being many questions we were getting wrong and the fast pace, we managed to make it work. I also got to relearn things from the text that the quiz reminded me of.

 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. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

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.
