Friday 2/14/25 - Describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about.

 My idea of a perfect day spent with someone I care about would probably start off by eating breakfast together, and talking to each other about how we're feeling or our plans for the day. Next, we would try to find something fun to do together, which would include something like going to a park, sports event, or concert. Afterwards, we would take the edge off and relax and sort of do our own thing or what we feel like at the moment. By sunset and later is when we'd have a dinner somewhere nice, and exchange gifts to show appreciation. Finally, we'd round off the day by reflecting over past memories and having heartfelt conversations.

Summary: Today we spent time in class working on brainstorming and drafting our essay about "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker. My selected essay topic was "Discuss the ways in which characters in 'The Color Purple' respond to and resist oppression and abuse. Explain how personal agency, community support, , and self-discovery contribute to their ability to overcome these challenges. Ground your analysis in specific evidence from the novel."

Reflection: I realized that in my essay I can go into detail about the experiences of characters in the novel and how they resisted and overcame oppression, and tie their experiences together in an overarching message and main idea.

Second NewsELA Assignment - Monday - 9/23/2024

 Today, we read an article about the dangers of using Google for self-diagnosis, as well as the best ways in which to get medical information being a doctor. Additionally, we completed a short quiz, and wrote a constructed response about the article. I learned that oftentimes health websites are not trying to provide the most accurate information to the reader, but rather boost sales through advertisement of certain products or treatments. I liked reading this article because I, myself in the past have found myself doing similar things, such as Googling my symptoms for a possible diagnosis, even though I know better now, it gives me something to look back on. Today, I'm looking forward to visiting my cousins.

Today, we took our final test on "Fences" by August Wilson. It was a lot of questions (45) but the questions weren't that hard, and I got a 91. I learned that I got 4 questions wrong out of 45. I liked that how each character in the story represented certain ideals or morals, such as Bono with loyalty and Troy with hard work. I feel like today is Friday, because the different block schedule messed up my perception of the week.

 Today, we were introduced into a new project, where we were randomly assigned new group members. We were introduced to a story called "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai, and we read a short background about her life. My group chose the theme of isolation vs. community. I learned that Desai's life and family was caught in the crosshairs of the timeframe of Indian modernization after it gained independence. I found it interesting how she described hiding her profession from her children. I'm feeling ready to get adjusted into my new group and work on the project.
