Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

 When my non-blood mother Kelsea, (close family friend that I view as my mother) told me about her harsh childhood life, it made me view her and life differently. I have always been worried that I am going to turn out like my parents. When I told her this, she shared her story to me. Her parents were abusive and very cruel to her. She moved out at 16 and made her own life. She had no support or help but she made it through. She helped me realize that my family's bad choices don't have to reflect on me if I don't want them to. She is living proof of that. I am so thankful for her everyday, and I am glad she told me a part of her story.

Write about an adventure you would like to go on

 An adventure I would like to go on is a trip throughout Europe. I have always wanted to visit there since I was a little girl. I could never decide on where I wanted to go the most so, what I would do is travel to them all. I would take a flight there to Europe, and slowly work my way through each country. I would love to visit Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Rome, and Greece. If I do this, then I would be able to visit them all.  Today in class, we finished presenting our origin myth posters. We then, started working on analyzing Emily Dickerson's poems.  I learned about what a great poet Emily was.

Write about something you have always been curious about

 One thing I have always been curious about is why we humans have never fully explored the ocean. Everyone is willing and eager to go and explore space but what about our own planet. Everyone wants us to keep pushing to put the first man on Mars but I believe that we should explore our own planet first before venturing out farther. That is one thing I am curious about is why we haven't and what is down in the ocean? absent absent
