In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders intruding on their land and their lives. Think about a time when you felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes?

 Prompt Response: When I was younger, I was a curious child who often intruded into conversations that had nothing to do with me. However, on this particular day, I overheard my parents discussing something that caught my attention. Without a second thought, I jumped into the conversation as if it were my own. All I can recall from that incident is me crying. From that day forward, I made a silent vow to myself to never Interlop on a conversation ever again.

Summary: Today in class, we read and completed the assignment, ''The interlopers'' in Commonlit

Reflection: This experience taught me the importance of knowing when to listen rather than insert myself into situations that don’t involve me. It also helped me understand that respecting boundaries is way more important than satisfying curiosity.
