Chris and his sister Carine McCandless had a very close relationship, even when he struggled to connect with others. Write about a relationship in your life where you feel truly understood. Explain what makes that relationship strong and how it compares to the connection between Chris and Carine in Into the Wild.

 A connection I have like that is with my sister. We have always understood each other because she is so mellow. When I wanted to do anything active I would go with my brother and have fun. But if I wanted to talk and relax I would with Emerson because she was always relaxing. It was nice because it was someone to talk to who wasn't an adult. I like talking to my parents but you cant talk to them the same way you can with your sibling. I can't cuss around my parents and sometimes that's the best way to express the emotion. 

Today in class we read chapter 13. We also answered 7 questions about what we read.

Today I learned how to solve for equilibriums.

Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

When I was younger and used to hiking in Stone Mountain a lot, I felt super close to nature. I would go with a lot of friends and my whole family. Sometimes we would hike at sunrise, and sometimes we would even do sunsets. I also feel close to nature at the lake. Many times I would take a boat out and just sit near the water and look at the birds flying. It made me feel so peaceful and calm. I love the water. It is my faviorate fact about nature. It changes my perspective because it makes me calm down and appreciate things. Today in class, we had this big assignment. We worked on it all class. Today I learned some Mandarin.

Words shape how we think, write, and interpret literature. Think about a time when learning a new word or understanding a specific term helped you better analyze a text, express an idea, or make your writing stronger.

 The word aserthic means pleasing to the eye or of good style. It's like something appealing to our senses. This word has made my writing better because it has expanded my vocabulary. I use it in texts permanently to improve my writing. I feel like using the word makes my writing look more advanced and professional. Today in class, we worked on vocabulary words. We also completed 3 exercises. Today I learned how to operate a fire extinguisher.

Prompt: Both poems by Robert Frost explore the passage of time and life’s changing moments. Write about a time when something in your life changed more quickly than you expected. How does this experience connect to Frost’s idea that “Nothing gold can stay”?

 My life changed more quickly than I expected when one of my closest friends passed away. No one could have expected it, and it really made my life go into a turn. My family changed, my friends changed, and I myself changed as well. This connects to Frost's ideas because this led me to a path I wish I could have gone back on. Like saying goodbye to her. I wish I could've gone back and said goodbye one last time, but I didn't. Could've never have guessed what would happen that night. Today in class, we read 2 poems. We also completed a worksheet. Today I learned the fastest way home from Cross Keys.
