 When I was little, the holidays felt like pure magic; it was all about the immediate thrill of waking up, seeing the tree, and the excitement of opening gifts. Now that I'm a teenager, the experience is less about Santa and more about the break from school and hanging out with my friends when I can. The meaning has changed from simply receiving things to appreciating the traditions my family has.

 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.
