Tuesday: Prompt: Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it’s important to you.

-

 A toy plane my dad gave me holds a lot of sentimental value. He gave it to me when I was little, and it was my favorite toy. Every time I played with it, it felt like I was actually in the air, and it reminded me of the adventures my dad and I took. It’s important because it’s a symbol of how he always encouraged me to dream big. Even though I’m older , I still keep it as a reminder of him and all that we've been through.

Today in class, we filled out a STEAL sheet about the character Grant from A Lesson Before Dying. The STEAL sheet helped me break down Grant’s character and understand his thoughts and actions better. It made me realize that even though Grant is struggling, he still has a lot of potential to make a difference.

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.
