sep 11: September 11 changed many aspects of American life, even though your generation was born afterward. Think about a major event that has happened during your own lifetime, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or another event that affected your community or the country. How do you think your experience with that event helps you understand what it might have been like for Americans to experience the uncertainty and change following 9/11? Explain the connection.

the major event of the COVID-19 pandemic Shook my generation, and in consequence, me. I felt as if my life had changed because of it, and I can only somewhat empathize with those that experienced 9/11 first hand. I understand how much things can change, with people wearing masks and being more cautious about disease, I wonder what effects 9/11 brought to the country. 

in class we did a test on "a rose for Emily" and I did pretty good on it.

I cant imagine what 9/11 was like, even with all the content I've seen of it at school every year on the same day, and I feel bad comparing it to something I've experienced, or anything I will in the future.

august 31: Think about the word or phrase you find yourself using the most right now. What is it, what does it mean, and why has it become part of your everyday vocabulary? Explain when you typically use it and what your choice of this word or phrase might reveal about you.

 a word I've been using recently is "majorly". I use it when I want to describe an abundance of an action. for example, I'll say "he's tripping majorly" whenever I think somebody does or says something crazy. the word is funny to me, and I guess that's why it means a lot to me, since it makes me laugh a bit when I say it. the phrase might just mean I like to make myself laugh a lot, which is something true about me. in class, we did a vocabulary lesson. the vocabulary was interesting to me, and I honestly think I'll like learning new words to hopefully use them in my everyday speech.

In Part I of A Rose for Emily, Emily’s house stands out from the community and reflects both her past and the changes happening around her. Think about a house, building, or place that holds special memories for you. What does that place look like, what memories do you connect with it, and what does it represent

  my first house in Norcross holds many memories for me. it was a two story town house that was like every other house in the neighborhood, but it was mine. I had my first dog there, and my first nightmares as a kid. I lost stuff there but I also found new and returning things in my life. it represents my early childhood with how big it felt, yet so small now that I return to visit once in a while. in class we read one part of a story and did some questions on it. the story helped me recall a big part of my life, my childhood. I should reflect on my upbringing, and I have this story to thank for that.
