 Dickinson uses the metaphor of a funeral to describe her inner struggles. What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

A metaphor I would use to describe my own mind would be of a car wreck. I say this because I am often agitated, annoyed, and stressed out as most people are during a car wreck. Often I also feel like there is nothing I can do to stop my agitation and I am unable to take it back like how many feel in a car wreck because you are unable to unwreck a car. Another reason why I chose this metaphor for my own mind is because I easily get past my breaking point and when you are in a wreck you have passed your breaking point and hit the other car (the other car being the people I am closest to like my friends and family because they are the other people having to suffer from my agitation, annoyance, and stress). For these reasons the metaphor I would use to describe my own mind would be of a car wreck.  

Summary:

Today in class we learned more about analyzing Emily Dickinson's poems as we analyze two of them, additionally we started making a heart to represent the contrast of emotion and logic. 

Reflection:

Today I improved my analyzing, annotating, and knowledge on contrasting mindsets.

  If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality. If I had to describe how I show love using only 3 objects I would choose a  weighted blanket, a curated playlist, and a customized notebook. I would choose a weighted blanket because love to me is a safe harbor and is about creating a secure, calming space where the other person feels protected and grounded, especially after a chaotic day. This connects to my personality because I show affection by reducing stress and providing a calm presence rather than loud declarations. I would choose a playlist because I am good at   understanding a person's inner world, moods, and tastes and this gift shows the efforts and ability I have to do so. Finally, I would choose a notebook because it symbolizes communica...

Write about something that you can't stop thinking about.  One thing that I can not stop thinking about is what I learned about in AP Psychology today. We watched this video about people called "Wild Children" who are people who were raised with little to no human contact/interactions. These children were captured at birth and were striped of their rights to do anything basically. Because they have no knowledge of language and had no one to interact with for the critical learning period of their lives they make little to no noise. The aspect that I think about the most is that I am unable to grasp the idea of how my thought process would look like without words/vocabulary/language. I can not fathom the idea of thinking without words. I am also curious about how they felt after being found and brought into the human world. Overall this is a very interesting topic to me and I have found myself unable to get it off my mind.

  In the spirit of Valentine’s Day week, describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about (a friend, family member, or significant person in your life). In the spirit of Valentine's Day week, my idea of a perfect day spent with someone I care about is spending the day hanging out with my mom and sisters. I would wake up late come downstairs and eat a late brunch with my mom and then spend the afternoon shopping or watching movies with my sisters. Then we would come home and start getting ready for a nice dinner. My whole family would go to a nice Italian restaurant and then get some dessert on the way back home. After we got home me and the rest of my family would play board games until we got to bed. That is my idea of a perfect day with people I care about. Summary: Today in class we continued planning for our rhetorical analysis essay. Reflection: I learned a lot and feel more prepared after planning.
