 Today in class we did an assignment on a man who was hung from a railroad bridge. I didn't really learn anything other than some people can be very crucial and heartless when it comes to others. I didn't like reading this story just because the author played with my mind thinking the man escaped his death and made it back to his family when the whole time he really was just in his imagination and actually died. 

 During spring break I stayed in Atlanta and didn't travel, although my mom and stepdad went to Aruba. For the first five or six days my sister and I had the whole house to ourselves with the exception of our dog. The first day of the break I went to an outside music festival with one of my closest friends, no we didn't really enjoy it as much because how hot and windy it was so we stayed in the car and took a fat nap. Later that day she came home with me and we made chicken tacos and my homeboys came over and we played games and they ate all the food. On Easter it was also my fathers birthday so my sisters, friends and I went to his house and he hosted a fish fry. I semi enjoyed it but none of my sisters and I tolerate his wife so we all kinda got into it because she has a very slick mouth for an "adult" For the rest of my time home alone my sisters friends stayed with us and we just enjoyed each others company and made memories with each other. 

 

 

  Summary: Today we read chapter 5 of Great Gatsby and answered Study guide questions. Reflection: I learned that Gatsby is a people person meaning he cares about impressing the people around him trying to fit in. Evaluation of the lesson: I didn’t mind the lesson. I enjoyed being able to work alone and doing my own work. Reveal: Today was decent. I've been tired all day and bored .

 

 

 Yesterday i presented our poem. The poem was called “Nothing Gold can Stay”. It was about how not all beautiful things last forever and to cherish them before it’s gone. I had the vocabulary part. I didn’t really like doing the vocab but it wasn’t difficult at all

 Today I finished up on getting some work done. I didn’t really understand my algebra because I haven’t been in school so I had to teach-myself the work. For my AP -History class i had to do an algebra for supreme court cases and surprisingly I liked it. I don’t know what’s going on in class right now, im guessing it’s still analyzing poems i didn’t really understand poems but it’ll be good to have atleast some knowledge.

 

 Today in class we took a benchmark test on illuminate we had to answer 20 questions but i only got to answer 16 of them. The test was based off two readings one about a song based of abolishment and trying to make it positive and the other was about American History and things that led America to be the way it is now. I don’t think i really learned anything new considering the fact that i’ve learned about those two topics within my school years. I would definitely change the readings that were given to us not that they were too hard or to complex but I’d rather read something that correlates to American Literature since i, i’m the class vs reading about American History.

 today we worked on filling in new vocabulary words 

 

 Today we worked on a poem about forgetting a person and how the process of moving on might take time but it’s better than being with someone you won’t experience real love with 

 this is what we worked on today 

Today we presented our jam boards. I didn't enjoy or like the fact that I was first considering the fact that im definitely uncomfortable reading infront a room of people. It makes me lose my train of thought and stutter my words or mix them up to the point where i can't even remember what i was talking about. Most the class didn't finish there's which is sometimes a good thing for the people who did do it because that just means they have a free class period where they can do whatever they want and make up any work they have. 

 August 28,  Today I wrapped up my origin myth story. I was definitely difficult to try and think of the most make believe thing i could think of a my big day and age. It was about one being defiant and going against all rules to prove its point and independence to others. My main character was a rule breaker and did't respect the way things were set up so they decided to go and make their own rules. With her breaking rules it almost cost her, her life. But that's really what we did yesterday on top of making our jam board and putting a picture to out character. 

 Today I created my origin myth story. In class we didn't really do as much but work on our writings. In my story I talk about different spiritual guides and their roles in earth and how they created different animals and species.
