(Nov 12) In “A Rose for Emily,” Miss Emily’s actions shock the reader—she kills her fiancé and keeps his body in her home for years. People often react with disbelief when they hear about real-life stories that seem just as unbelievable. Write about the most shocking or “craziest” news story you have ever heard. What happened, and why did it stand out to you? How did people react to it, and what does it reveal about human behavior?

 The gypsy rose case was one of the craziest news stories I have heard of. Basically Gypsy- Rose Blanchard worked together with her online boyfriend to murder her mom because of what her mom had done to her for 18 years of her life. Her mom's name was Dee-Dee. She wanted to be a caretaker, so she faked and induced illness in her daughter Gypsy Rose. The story stood out to me because it questioned my morality on whether murder can be justified. People were conflicted, some sided with the mom, and some sided with Gyspy Rose, it kind of shows how far some people would go to keep someone in their life.

Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

 The topic about feeling the need to fit in was challenging because I could not really think of a time where I would the follow the crowd if I did not have my own reason for why I am but then I thought of just writing a simile or metaphor about how I don’t feel the need to follow the crowd.  Summary: digital poster  Reflection: easy day
