Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

 Prompt: Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

Prompt Reponse:

I remember my dad being strict when I was younger, but ever since he left that job was for my mom then. Growing up I guess she could have been strict at times, especially since we are a big family with many kids to handle as a single parent. Even though I disliked the discipline, it made me learn how to clean, be responsible, how to care for my younger siblings, and to choose better decisions growing up. I was not always the most behaved kid, but I did eventually grow mature and started to help my mom more. I grew to know more and be more wiser than my siblings were.

Summary:

Today we did notes and answered questions with Mr. Rease as we were reviewing the story, "The Rockpile." This was to look over and remember the story line while understanding its meaning, since we had a pop quiz on it. While we took the pop quiz we were allowed to talk with our table to try and figure out what answer to put together, by the end of class the average scare for everybody was around 70%. Question four, six and ten were the most missed ones with only a few people getting it.

Reflection: 

I learned that I need to pay more attention when reading the texts before another pop quiz pops up, I was paying attention but eventually I was too tired that day and dozed off at times. I also learned that some of us needed to learn how to work as a group with other people.

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?

 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?  Prompt Response: I am having trouble trying to think of an answer for this prompt, I am sure there are plenty of things I can argue with my family but I am not entirely sure what type of topic I will be needing to argue about as I grow. I think there is something that I will need to keep stating to people, that I do not plan to have kids any time soon or marry any person. I really want to live for myself and have fun with friends rather than settle down into a family while I can go out and explore. If I were to marry, I'd expect us to switch roles in cooking and cleaning or going to work rather than me staying at home and they go to work like how my mom suggests it. Summary: Today was a block day, we went over new notes this time about claim and continued on the previous notes from yesterday about ...

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 Prompt:  After reading  “Out, Out—”  by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome? Prompt Response: I don't think I've ever faced a dangerous situation in life, besides driving. Huddle up people, so during the summer my mom thought it was best to teach me how to drive all around, she even had me drive on highways. There's probably a chance we faced danger everyday since I almost crashed every single day, every one of those days I had to immediately focus. One day we were driving peacefully down a long road, I noticed from afar there was a car trying to cross the road to the next and I didn't think they would cross yet because they wouldn't have time. Passing through with a good amount of speed, I looked to my right toward my mom and saw the car inches from my car and I immediately pressed down the pedal to a...
