Wednesday - Prompt: Write about something that you can't stop thinking about.

-

 I cannot stop thinking about winter break and Christmas. During winter break me and my family are going to Las Vegas and visiting national parks like the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and maybe even Bryce. I also cannot stop thinking about Christmas since its my favorite holiday and I get to spend more time with my family. I am very excited for both and because I have been trying to get more into hiking the views will be really cool at the national parks. I have also never been to Las Vegas so I am excited what it will offer.

Today in class, we read chapters 2 and 3 of A Lesson Before Dying and answered discussion questions. Answering the discussion questions helped me understand the characters motivations better and the story. It made me think more about the choices they make and how their actions affect others.

 Today we took a benchmark test. I learned about the United States and its history with isolation and how it got to intervening. I personally hated this assignment because we had to write an essay and answer 25 questions. I don't think I can take this into my future or the real world. My day is going terrible.

Friday: Prompt: Write about a song that brings back a specific memory.

-
 A song for me that brings specific memory is Hotel California from the Eagles. It brings back memories since my dad would always play it when I was a child. Every time we would go to the pool he would play the song. I still love it to this day. Today in class, we started a project on A Lesson Before Dying, and I focused on studying racial injustice and justice. Looking into racial justice made me think about how unfair things used to be and how people fought to change it. It helped me understand why standing up for what’s right is so important.
