March 31-How does watching the film version of Into the Wild change or deepen your understanding of Chris McCandless compared to reading the book? In your response, explain one key difference in how his character or experiences are presented, and connect this to a time when seeing something visually changed your understanding of a situation.

 Response- It helps me see things from his perspective and understand him better, I feel more pity for him. I feel like a lot of people will feel more bad for him if they watch the film because he's shown in an environment where is parents are unhappy, and argue and put him and his sister through something kids shouldn't go through. There's a scene where his parents are screaming at each other and chris's dad gets on top of his mom and starts trying to strangle her and his mom yells "Look what your father is doing to me". 

Summary- Watching the film deepens my understanding of chris

Reflection- In class we watched Into The Wild film instead of reading the book

Nov 20- Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

 Response- One time I this guy wanted my number and I didn't like him but I gave it to him anyways. But then my friends started saying how I shouldn't have and was sitting he could get info from my number.  Summary- I didn't want to keep texting him because he was starting to weird me out so I just told him my messages were glitching when he asked why I wasn't texting him and I blocked him. Reflection- There were also times where I tried to get my mom to check me out before a pop quiz but it didn't work. But after blocking him I felt better and stopped worrying the situation.

Sep 5- You are currently working on a soundtrack for selected Emily Dickinson poems. With that in mind, if asked to choose a song to describe your life right now, which song would you select and why?

 Response- I would choose the song "New Person, Same Old Mistakes" By Tame Impala, to describe my life. I chose the song because by the title it tells everything. Summary- I have changed as a person since when I first started out in high school but I feel like I have still repeated the same types of bad decisions. But as of now I'm in a good place, the song has an upbeat rhythm to it and the lyrics are really relatable. Reflection- I am happy where I am now, but in the future I hope I can relate to a better song.
