 Prompt: In “Birches,” Robert Frost celebrates imagination as a way to escape life’s difficulties and reconnect with innocence. The speaker wishes to “get away from earth awhile” but also understands that he must eventually return to reality. Think about the role of imagination in your own life. How does imagination help you cope with challenges, boredom, or stress? 


Response: I personally use my imagination through my art and fashion sense. It's something I'm passionate about and it's a relaxing activity for me. Usually it's something I like to think about or do when I'm stressed. Although I love those two things, I reconnect with reality and set my priorities. I know when I need to put my work and needs first vs my wants. Sometimes I like to use my imagination in my work as a balance, but I don't use my imagination all the time. 


Summary: We started to read the poem "Birches", written by Robert Frost, which is about childhood. 


Reflection: I reflected on the things I did for fun as a kid.

Response: If I had to keep only a few important possessions would keep my makeup, phone, and my digital camera. I would want to keep my makeup because I still want to look nice wherever it is that I go. I would also take my phone with me in case of emergencies and so that I can use CashApp for money. My digital camera is also important so that I can still have a hobby and so I can make money by taking photos for people. The hardest thing for me to leave behind would be my bedroom. My bedroom is highly decorated and has been a safe place for me for years so it would be hard to miss that comfort and seeing all of my interest in one room.  Summary:  In class we did an assignment on Writable over ...

Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

  Prompt:  Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss. Response: Something that I've outgrown but still miss was having Kona Ice trucks come to school. Back in elementary school through 6th grade, I remember having Kona Ice trucks come and visit our school to sell snow cones. They would typically come to our school during events like field day. Whenever they came around, it was a big deal among students. I loved the snow cones and thinking back on it, it was very nostalgic and memorable for me.  Summary: We worked on an assignment about a poem from Langston Hughes. Reflection: I reflected on the different civil liberties used today.
