Prompt: Write about a truth you were afraid to accept.

Prompt Response -
A truth I was afraid to accept was that people don't always care about who you are. I've always had to change or modify how I act to fit in with different groups, and usually trail behind or isolate myself more. As time goes on and I get to know people better, I'm able to adjust closer to myself while still fitting in.

Today in class, we took notes on ethos, pathos, and logos.

Reflection -
Today, we discussed the meaning of ethos, pathos, and logos, and made examples.

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

Prompt Response - A time that I faced a dangerous situation was when I was cooking and almost started a fire. I was cutting vegetables while I had something in the oven, and then I got distracted. When I was doing that, I started to smell something burning and realized that I had forgotten about what was in the oven.
