In both texts that you read, the line between reality and imagination blurs—the narrator sees a woman in the wallpaper, while Dickinson’s speaker feels their own funeral happening in their mind. Have you ever had an experience where stress, fear, or emotions made something feel distorted or unreal? How did you ground yourself in reality again?

 There was a time when I was so overwhelmed with stress before a big exam that reality felt distorted—I kept hearing my own thoughts echo as if they weren’t mine, and time seemed to slow down. It felt like I was trapped in a cycle of overthinking, much like the narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper seeing things that weren’t really there. To ground myself, I focused on deep breathing, held onto something tangible like my desk, and reminded myself that the anxiety was temporary. Talking to a friend also helped bring me back to reality, much like how external reassurance can break the grip of overwhelming emotions.

Today in class we read a poem and did discussion questions

My tenth grade year, me and my friends went to a beach in Florida called seaside. We went during spring break and around this time its a lot I mean a lot of teens their from around the country. The race ratio was pretty off, more whites then blacks which was reasonable. One night me and my friends are with some white girls and I'm on aux while were driving around. I couldn't play the music I wanted to play due to me thinking the girls wont like it. So I played party in the USA and the huzz loved it. Every time I hear it reminds me of my first homeboys trip together.  Today in class we answered questions based off the book "the color purple". We read through 5 chapters and watched short clips of the book on YouTube.

After reading The Tyger by William Blake, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you.

 One of the most beautiful creations in the world, to me, is the monkey. Monkeys are so cute with their small faces, big eyes, and playful movements. I love how they swing from tree to tree with such ease and energy. What makes monkeys even more amazing is how smart they are.They can solve problems, use tools, and even show emotions like humans do. Watching a monkey interact with others or figure something out always makes me smile. Their mix of cuteness and intelligence is what makes them so inspiring to me. Today In class we read a poem called "The Tyger". Then answered questions about it. Today was good, Tomorrow will be better.

Easter Sunday was yesterday, a holiday full of traditions for many people. What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite? Share what you usually do to celebrate it and what makes it meaningful or fun for you."

Easter and Christmas are both special holidays that I look forward to each year because they remind me of God's love. At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, God’s Son, who came to bring hope and peace to the world. It’s a joyful time with family, giving gifts, and remembering the true meaning of the season. Easter is even more powerful to me because it celebrates Jesus rising from the dead after dying on the cross for our sins. It shows how much God loves us and gives us the promise of new life. Both holidays are meaningful because they help me feel closer to God and remind me of the blessings God gives.
