Prompt: In “Her Sweet Weight on My Heart a Night” by Emily Dickinson, the speaker describes the emotional weight another person can have on us. Think about someone who has left a lasting impact on your life. In what ways do you still carry that person with you?

 Prompt Response: I had my first girlfriend last year and that had a huge impact on my life. I had never had a girlfriend before so it was an eye opening experience to what it was like. I learned with her what managing a relationship was like and how I should handle it. I also learned what to look for in people that I would want to spend my time with. I still think about her and how she fundamentally changed how I view a lot of people.

Summary: We worked on our Emily Dickinson poem drawing.

Reflection: I got to brainstorm more about the deeper meaning of the Emily Dickinson poem that we were working on.

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt Response: One thing that makes me different from other people is that I'm an atheist. I hear people talk about their faith often and it makes me think about what other people believe. I personally don't believe in anything but I respect the fact that others have something they believe in. I don't really share this so most people don't even know that this thing makes me different. That is what makes me different from other people. Summary: We read a poem made by Emily Dickinson Reflection: This helped me gain insight on how poems are written and structured. I also learned about how Emily Dickinson's writing style differs from the normal.

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

 Prompt Response: I went to the beach in Key West for New Years. There wasn't many people there so it was very peaceful. The water was shallow so I could see through it and explore the ocean. I walked around and looked at all the coral and sea plants that were on the bottom. I saw tiny fish swimming around while I was walking through the water. Seeing all of these things really made me feel like I was connected to nature. Summary: We talked about myths, religion, origin myths, and themes in class today. Reflection: I learned that myths and religion were very similar to each other. This helps me so that I know the differences between them and don't get them confused in the future.
