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?

Yes, I’ve definitely had moments when stress or emotions made things feel distorted or unreal. I remember a time when I was overwhelmed with schoolwork and personal challenges. My mind would race, and I felt like everything was closing in on me. It was hard to focus, and I began to feel like I was trapped in a chaotic fog where things didn’t seem real anymore. To ground myself, I took a step back and focused on my breathing. I made myself take a break, went for a walk outside, and reminded myself that I had control over my actions, even if the situation felt out of control. Breaking things down into small, manageable tasks helped me regain focus and slowly return to a clearer sense of reality. Just taking a moment to pause and reset made a big difference in calming my mind

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

 One of the most treasured items I have is my grandpa’s journal. It’s a simple, leather-bound book, but it holds so much more than just paper and ink. My grandpa began writing in it when he was a young man, recording his thoughts, experiences, and lessons he learned throughout his life. It’s filled with stories from his youth, his time in the military, and even small moments that meant something to him—like the time he learned to fish or the day he met my grandmother. Reading through his journal makes me feel connected to him in a way I never imagined. Even though he’s no longer here, his words offer me comfort, wisdom, and a sense of understanding about the man he was. It’s a reminder of the values he lived by and the legacy he left behind, and it’s something I’ll cherish forever. Today I'm doing all my missing assignments

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

For the perfect spring break, my friends and I would head to Colorado for an epic skiing adventure. We’d hit the slopes, enjoying the crisp mountain air and some thrilling runs down the peaks. Afterward, we’d jet off to Los Angeles, where we’d rent some exotic cars and cruise around the city, feeling like VIPs. Shopping on Rodeo Drive would be a must, picking up some high-end pieces. We'd book a beautiful Airbnb with stunning views and spend the evenings relaxing in style. To top it all off, we’d invite some amazing women over for a fun, memorable night of laughter and good vibes. It would be the perfect combination of adventure, luxury, and relaxation. Today in class we are making up work before the break to help our grade. Thank you Mr. Resse Today was good. this whole week is gonna be amazing.
