Reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus 10/22

A time when I faced a high-pressure situation that demanded my complete focus was driving for the first time. I didn't know what I was doing, and the roads were pretty busy. Luckily, my mom was in the car with me, guiding me on where to go next. I had really bad anxiety driving that by the time I got to where I was going, it felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest, but I was literally just driving to a McDonald's that wasn't even a mile down the street. Despite that, I had to focus on the road and pay attention to where I was going and what I was doing. Today, in class, we read a poem called "Out Out" by Robert Frost. We analyzed the poem, then answered some questions about it afterward.

 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.
