 Prompt: Now that you have completed the rhetorical analysis essay, reflect on your growth. Explain how this experience impacted your confidence as a writer and whether you feel prepared to continue analyzing complex speeches and texts in American Literature. Support your reflection with specific references to the writing process.

Prompt Response:

Well I did better than I usually do when it comes to writing essays, the one thing that hasn't changed was not completing the essay in time. I have an issue with that for some reason, I improved slightly and surprisingly wrote a lot more than I usually am able to. I can say its embarrassing that I struggle to write an essay with a time limit, my brain does not think that fast and its obvious that's an issue and not acceptable especially if I plan to go to college one day. So I have no excuses and always accept it, the only thing I can do is learn from it and continue to try, I guess my confidence didn't change much, its as I expected and maybe it boosted a little more since I managed to think and write effortlessly more than before. I have a feeling with more practice I might be able to continue analyzing complex speeches and texts in the future. My brain stopped when it came to the third paragraph with the rhetorical word, diction, which was dumb of me and I could have finished in time if had I not slowed down. 

Summary:

Today was when we wrote our Rhetorical Analysis Essay, for the whole block period we are supposed to write accordingly to the rubric, the introduction paragraph, thesis, body paragraphs and the conclusion. The majority of us were able to complete it in time, unfortunately I wasn't and I somewhat planned to complete the rest when I got home immediately but I had the misfortune to deal with the monthly cycle and cramps that bothered me all day. 

Reflection:

I can reflect that I will get a bad grade for this essay for not completing it but on a positive note I can say that I improved writing an essay, for once it seemed decent and not mumble jumble. I managed to write more than I usually am capable of with a time limit, embarrassing that even with a block period I failed to complete but what is done, is done.

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...
