Political cartoons often use exaggeration and symbolism to make a point, and they can also serve as important visual sources for analysis. What is being criticized in this image? What does this source suggest about the issue, and what does the cartoonist want the audience to question or reconsider?

 Prompt: The cartoon is criticizing how leaders may distract the people with foreign conflicts. It shows Trump pointing at another country while a harmful bill crushes uncle Sam. The elephant represents the republican party and a heavy policy hurting Americans. ICE standing by adds to the idea of tough or harmful domestic actions. The cartoonists want the audience to whether attention is being pulled away from real problems at home.

Summary: Today in class we skimmed sources and discussed as a class if they should be restructured or not.

Reflection: today in class I learned about having to research 10 sources each member of my group and then drop it to 7 sources.

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.

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.
