 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.

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.

 A time I felt completely lost was when I moved back to Georgia from Texas. Although I was born in Georgia, I lived in Texas for the majority of my life. I had made friends that I love and so many memories. So when I moved back to Georgia, I was pretty lost. I moved to a more metro part of Atlanta, while during my childhood I lived in the suburbs. I still kept in touch with my childhood friends, but I didn't live very close to them. It was different, but I adapted quickly. The hard part for me was honestly missing my friends and seeing them all together, knowing I couldn't be there anymore. It was sad at first, but I realized that I could make new memories just like I had made memories with my friends before. Today in class, we presented our jealous father PowerPoint. I learned different aspects of the jealous father story and was able to gain a deeper look at the characters' actions, the morals of the story, and the themes.

 As I grow up, an issue/ topic I think I will have to debate in the future is the state of society. Today in America, I think that we are very divided, specifically in politics. I wish we could all come together and agree, but the reality is that it will never happen. Therefore, I will have to stand up for what I personally believe in and what I think is right, instead of conforming to a corrupt political party. Today in class, we learned about the different types of claims.
