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?

 Prompt Response : Yes, when I started failing all of my classes and became a great fear that I wouldn’t graduate on time with my class. I overstressed myself and became to stater feeling like a failure. I shut myself away from my friends for a while and I was quiet and mostly sad all the time. Until my boyfriend gave me a great advice and pep talk to get me started to boss up and turn in all my missing assignments and improve any bad test grades. I took a deep breathe listened to his reassurance and got to work. I listened to music and completely all of my missing and bad grades within a week. 

Summary: Today we read a poem called “I felt a funeral in my Brain”  by Emily Dickinson. We simply annotated the poem to gain a further understanding of the poem. We said that the poem mostly states that loosing your mind is like being buried alive. We came up with the themes of get help before you loose yourself and don’t go through life alone. We ended the class period with completing our blog posts. 

Reflection: Today was a good day. I can use this lesson in life in case I need to annotate any text. I can better learn how annotate text to get deeper understandings behind them. This poem was very deep and emotional and it shows me that I’m never alone, that I need to go through life not by myself and get help if I ever feel down.

 Prompt response : A time that I realized at the way I viewed a certain group of people was shared by stereotypes without me noticing was when I was younger maybe middle school. The stereotype was that Asians always eat rice and they are all very smart. I grew up hearing this so I a,ways went with it. But that’s not the case always because many Asians don’t even like rice and most Asian aren’t as well educated as most. I started to see this as an unfair stereotype . I said to myself that we can’t judge people based off strotyoes.   Summary: Today we were given a new project. It was a group project. We were put into groups.

Consider a film that portrays your culture. Reflect on how accurately your culture is represented and the potential impacts of this portrayal.

 Prompt Response: A film that portrays my culture is the Pixar movie “Soul”, this movies portrays aspects of black African American culture. This film captures the vibrancy of black culture through its depiction jazz, barbershop culture and community life in New York. Soul introduces global audiences to the richness of black culture in a way that is both respectful and celebratory.  Summary: Today was an easy class. Today our task was to present our project on cultural and their stereotypes negative and positive. As I watched everyone’s presentation I learned a lot about the dangers of a single story.

Films and tv shows can impact the way we all perceive each other. We ended the class period we completing our blog posts.  Reflection: Today I learned how significant the dangers of a...
