You’ve been in American Literature for 4.5 weeks now. How has the class been going for you so far?

Prompt: You’ve been in American Literature for 4.5 weeks now. How has the class been going for you so far?  

Prompt Response: I believe the class has been going relatively well so far for this semester. I think this as I have been understanding the content and getting good grades. If I could choose an area to improve upon, it would be my class participation in discussions and other random questions. But still, overall, I am quite happy with where I am currently in this class and am glad that it is not as bad as I thought it was.

Summary: Today in class we read a poem by Emily Dickinson, and then identified the symbolism and definitions of various words we found within it.

Reflection: I found the poem to be mildly entertaining, especially the various symbolism that we found. I believe that if I was given a poem, I could probably identify the symbolism and themes pretty easily.

Use a hyperbole, an understatement, and a litotes to describe today's lesson.

Prompt: Use a hyperbole, an understatement, and a litotes to describe today's lesson.  Prompt Response:  My handwriting and notes seem to have around the same legibility of hieroglyphics (hyperbole). There was just a bit of tension and squabbling when we talked about hyperbole (understatement). I did in fact, not learn nothing today (litotes). Summary: Today in class we took notes and had a discussion about rhetorical devices. Reflection:  I felt that I learned quite a bit today, especially about litotes which I had no prior knowledge of. I hope to learn more about rhetorical devices in the following class periods.

Write about something that you can't stop thinking about.

Prompt:  Write about something that you can't stop thinking about.  Prompt Response:  One thing that I can't stop thinking about is a certain video game I'm currently going through. For a while now I really haven't been playing many games, but after this specific one released I haven't been able to stop. I think it's good that I'm really enjoying it, but at the same time I shouldn't let it get in the way of my work and life. All in all, I just have to make sure my other responsibilities come first before I turn on the console, or things could get out of hand. Summary: Today in class we were introduced to our final project and had our electives chosen. Reflection:  The meeting with my counselor today seemed to go quite well, and I should hopefully get into all of my desired classes. However, there are still some adjustments that need to be made in the near future.

Prompt Response:  Throughout the semester, I've learned about many things that I feel have bettered my understanding of literature as a whole. I have most enjoyed the format of the class, as it has definitely made all of the information seem more palatable and intriguing. I found the personal poem to be the most engaging as it really challenged the creative aspects of myself. I believe to be connected with the writing part of the class as it is something I want to get better at. One area in whi...
