Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

 The time I felt connected to nature was when I was around 10 or 11 years old, outside with my childhood friend and my sister. We were playing in the playground when we felt little raindrops hit our skin. My friend said we should go and talk to Mother Nature, begging her not to let it rain because we didn't want to go home. So we all went around the back of some building where the woods were, and we screamed with our lungs, "Please don't let it rain, Mother Nature, please." We repeated this like 5 times, and surprisingly, the raindrops slowly stopped. 


We took notes today about Native American literature and talked about the different vocabulary we will be learning. 


I learned the difference between a myth and an urban legend today.

In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders in truding on their land and their lives. Think about a time whenyou felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes? (Sept 16)

 The time I felt like an Interloper was when I went out with my friend to an event, and some people that we always see at school were there too, but it seemed like they were only speaking to my friend instead of both of us. It wasn't a nice feeling that night; the situation just affected me personally. Obviously, I could not blame my friend; it wasn't her fault.  Summary: Worked in Common Lit.  Reflection: The story was interesting, sort of gave me some advice I need as well.

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

 Class has been okay so far; people don't really engage like that, but I'm the same when it comes to things. The blogs I've been struggling with the most are the ones I've been trying to turn in on time. I still do it just like 1 day late.  Summary:  Read 3 poems by Emily Dickinson about death.  Reflection: The poems were deep and centered around death, so the poems really put you in a position to think about your life.
