After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.

 Prompt: My most absurd experience I have would be the time I fell down the stairs of my school. I was very embarrassed that I got up and left very quickly. The reason I fell was because I wasn't looking and didn't see that there were still steps that I needed to get off. So I just stepped off and ended up falling 5 steps down. After I fell people started laughing which was the reason I left really fast as well. After that I always check when I am going down the stairs so I don't trip again. 

Summary: Today in class we read and annotated a poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. 

Reflection: Today in class I learned how to stretch the truth when needed.

Which aspect of creating a poem do you enjoy the most? Tell what it is and explain why

 Prompt: An aspect that I enjoy the most when creating a poem would be of love. I choose it because it sometimes can be the easiest. But i also enjoy writing about love because i myself have had personal experiences as well. Even though i like writing about love or relationship wise i also like to write about other stuff when i want to try something different. Like in this case instead of love when writing my poem i choose to write about dreams. Which is something different then what i usually do.  Summary:  Today in class we started to create our own poems to share with the class.  Reflection  Today in class i learned the requirements needed for the creation of our poem.

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?

 Prompt: A song that I would choose to describe my life would be falling behind by Laufey. I would choose that song because I feel like I can relate to the song a lot. I say that because even if I told everyone I'm not interested in anyone right now I would feel very lonely because I don't really have one really. Like when in the song it mentions, "everyone is falling in love but I'm falling behind." I feel like I can really relate to that part of the song the most.  Summary: Today in class we took the test on Emily Dickinson poetry and finish our song soundtrack.  Reflection: Today in class I learned that I got a 63 on my test today.
