 Prompt: Think about a moment when your understanding of your family changed as you got older. How did that shift impact your perspective, and how does that connect to Chris’s realization about his parents in Chapter 11?

Prompt Response:

I doubt I would remember a moment where my understanding of my family had changed, I think my view of them stayed the same. I was a very hateful kid and a cramped apartment full of annoying kids younger than me, gave me a lot of anger issues. To this day, I still can barely tolerate them and do not have a deep relationship with them, we can laugh at times but it won't change how quick they can change my mood. I guess it can somewhat connect to Chris's realization about his parents when he viewed them to be some type of evil dictators who doesn't really understand him and restricts his freedom, his perspective did not change as much after he left.

Summary:

Today we were given two worksheets to work on, Mr. Rease only went over one of them with us. We had a few minutes to work on the 1st one, it was a "Family Background Reflection Worksheet" and had us talk about what we wrote down. After the lesson, he told us to read chapter 11 independently and work on the other sheet for homework.

Reflection: 

I can reflect that I have a deeper understanding of McCandles' family and how he grew up to the person he was when he died. It helped remind me that he was a human being who had a family, a childhood, was a kid at some point and his personality.

 Prompt:   As we think about our upcoming Vocabulary Monday, tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your favorite word and how often do you use it. Prompt Response: My favorite word right now is 'son', I do not have a son but I use this word a lot to call people that when I'm playing games and it's what I call my friend from time to time. I would usually say "Good job son" or "I'm proud of you son" whenever my friend accomplishes something. I do not know why it is my favorite word, just that it sounds nice and it's funny when they respond "thank you father." My friend even decided to say it back to me sometimes and this other person that we play with, she says it in Spanish too, "Okay Mijo."

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...
