 A metaphor I would use to describe my mind is a rollercoaster. I'm always thinking about different things. The same way a rollercoaster makes so many different turns and twists, I feel like that's how my mind is; my thoughts are always pretty scattered.  Today in class, we read 2 Emily Dickinson poems and analyzed them. We were able to dive deep into the meaning of poems. One poem had a darker theme, while the other poem was a little lighter. I'm excited to read more of Emily Dickinson's work. There is so much depth to her poems, and it's cool to try to analyze and decode all the different meanings.

 This is my cultural identity mask. On it, I included things that represent me! It was fun to learn about my other classmates today as well.

A real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship I experienced is one time I asked my friend to go to the boardwalk with me, and she told me she couldn't go. The next day, I saw that she had gone without me with another friend. I'm not going to lie, I did feel a little jealous, but in the end, it was a misunderstanding. She had already had plans to go with someone else and couldn't go with me that day. Today, I learned about a folklore story "The Jealous Father" when a man suspected his son was having a affair with one of his wives due to marks on her body and tried to get rid of him but in the end the son never had an affair and the father tried to get rid of his son over a false lie.  Today, we started a project. My group is responsible for the moral aspect of the story.

 Today in class, we learned about 3 rhetorical devices. The devices we learned were hyperbole, understatement, and litotes. Hyperbole: Today's lesson was so revolutionary, my brain doubled in size! Understatement: We spent a few minutes looking at words today.  Litotes: Learning about rhetorical devices today wasn't exactly a waste of time.
