When you are in a mood that you do not like, what are some strategies that you use to change your mood?

Prompt response: Often when I am in a mood that I do not like, the strategies I use are listening to music or just reading a good webnovel. The reason why I use these two strategies the most is because music can boost your mood or worsen it depending what you're listening too, while reading something can help change your perspective of how you view life by the main character's own experience in their own different world. To me I believe that webnovels are like this and all other books, I just believe webnovels are better because there are a whole lot more pages or chapters that let the depth of a character be so good. 

Summary: Today in class we read over Chapter 8, chose 8 quotes that had meaning to us and why it was meaningful. While also talking with group members to get ready for the presentation on Friday if we had extra time. 

Reflection: Today in class I learned of Cheryl's humanity, in the sense that while she shows that shes strong and independent and what she tells herself, just like a human she still has lingering doubts about herself showing a sense of humanity along with character depth. This impacted me by making me feel more connected with the character because of her "humanity" in her unlike other protagonists that have a sense of unrealness in them that you can only compare some elements, this made me feel to feel the joy more as I continued to read Chapter 8 as I felt it was a solid and good chapter like all the rest of them I've read thus far. In the future I will use this to help me talk about her character depth, as I feel this chapter is juicy when it comes to meaning behind her as we get to know about her more despite what we already know from earlier chapters as it really hits us here of the contrast from who she was before to who she is now.

What have your parents told you about your birth?

 Prompt Response: My parents have told me that I was born in Mumbai and in a hospital and when I was being born the umbilical cord was around my neck depriving me of oxygen. My mother had the instinct that something was wrong and so on that was how I was then born early for my mom's 48 hours of labor which to this day she goes on about it each time I try and ask for money and then talks about the labor she went through and paying it back. Anyway my name came from her praying to an angel or saint, called St. Anthony. To which my name originated from that since her prayers were answered and I was born.  Summary: Today in class we read and discussed two poems made by William Blake, "Infant Sorrow", and "Infant Joy".  Reflection: Today I learned that there was a significance to an infant being born or more of a meaning behind it than I realized from the two poems as I don't really think about it much. This impacted me by making me feel a warm feeling as I think ...

Recall a specific incident when someone’s words offended you. Describe what was said, how it made you feel, and what actions you took in response. Reflect on whether your response helped resolve the situation or changed how you think about communication.

 Prompt Response: When someone called me an idiot, as they said "Why is someone like you part of our group, your the most idiotic and unhelpful person I met". It made my self-esteem lower by a whole bunch of points and sooner or later I stopped trying in my classes to what defined that title for me as what I thought was idiotic;what an idiot was and made me interact with others less.  Summary: Today in class we went over a short essay "Incident" by Countee Cullen, and analyzed the poem; As well as discussing what the poem was about and the two themes of it. Before all that, at the beginning of class we wrote three terms that were most offensive and why it offended us, for me it was "Mistake", "Failure", and "Idiot".  Reflection: Today I learned that an experience can define us in many ways carrying a grudge in our heads and how it can affect future outcomes. This impacted me by influencing many thoughts on what grudges I hold such as be...

Before the Civil War, most people saw nothing wrong with children working long hours. Over time, people began to see it as unfair and even cruel. What is something that society once accepted but now sees as wrong, or something we still accept today that might be viewed as wrong in the future? Explain your reasoning.

 Prompt Response: Something we still accept that will most likely be seen as wrong and not done in the future is racism as we start to see as a society it is mixed as sometimes it can often be seen as good and bad. In today's society we believe that racism is something that is "fine" however the effects are often bad because it influences us to believe we can treat a person a certain color a certain way and I believe that in the future maybe a decade or two will be seen as something that is morally wrong and is not done even among young generations as we all join hands together.  Summary: Today in class we read over a short article over how child labor was soon abolished and what led up to that. Reflection: Today I learned that child labor is not used today because of the many factors that tie into it such as the harsh conditions they had to work in. This impacted me by making me feel a bit empathetic because it made me imagine on how the kids back then we're treated ...
