sep 15: In "The Rockpile", John and Roy do not always receive the same treatment from the adults in their family. Have you ever felt that you or someone else in your family was treated differently from everyone else? What caused the difference, and do you think it was fair? Explain.

 I have felt like I was treated differently in my family. I'm the younger brother so I get spoiled more. even outside my immediate family, I'm treated differently for being more "privileged" and pampered compared to the rest of my family like my cousins. it makes me feel like a black sheep, and its not my fault since i was born into this.

In class, we read "the rock pile" 

the story was nice, but it I felt like it did a pretty strong job at invoking fear from the father. it was also nice to find the religious ideas in the story.

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.
