In “A Rose for Emily,” Miss Emily’s actions shock the reader—she kills her fiancé and keeps his body in her home for years. People often react with disbelief when they hear about real-life stories that seem just as unbelievable. Write about the most shocking or “craziest” news story you have ever heard. What happened, and why did it stand out to you? How did people react to it, and what does it reveal about human behavior?

Prompt Response: The most recent story that has captured my attention on the media is President Trump’s rather inappropriate relationship with Bill Clinton. I stumbled upon this story while watching YouTube, and while it’s not a topic that typically interests me, one thing stood out: the reactions to the information. Everyone I’ve seen or heard reacting to it didn’t question its authenticity; they simply believed it to be true. Even influencers on the Internet started making memes about it. In conclusion, this was a peculiar and intriguing Internet story.

Summary: In today's class, we finished reading a rose for Emily and watched a short film based on the novel.

Reflection: Reflecting on our actions, it’s crucial to always do the right thing and exercise common sense. Some of the things we might be remembered for will live on with us forever.

  Prompt Response:    The most creative thing I've ever made was a pipe cleaner stick man action figure. Growing up, I loved action figures.

Due to this, I took it upon myself to make my own action figure.      Summary: Today in class, we finished writing our own origin myth story and discussed making a poster for it. Reflection: Making something from nothing is what I strive to do; like with that pipe cleaner stick man action figure I made. It represents my creativity and imagination in one small package.
