AM LIT: In “A Worn Path,” Phoenix has a memorable encounter and conversation with the hunter during her journey. Think about a conversation you have had that had a lasting impact on you. What was the conversation about, and how did it change your thinking, perspective, or actions?

 I think a conversation that changed my mind was with God. For some people it might not make sense others might understand me. I once asked God why things happened? Why did I had to lose people? Why did bad things happened to me? What I got for an answer was a more clear view of things, he put both bad and good people in my life to help me be a better person. To learn from both the good and the evil, and with that knowledge serve the purpose he gave me and to become a better person on earth.


Reflection: N/A


Summary: Some times we don’t realize but things always happen with a purpose that God has given us.

AM LIT: Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product?

Reading it aloud at the gathering was nerve-wracking, but seeing my friend’s eyes well up (and hearing a few chuckles at the inside jokes) made all the wrestling with words completely worth it. It taught me that poetry isn't about using the biggest or most sophisticated words; it’s just about capturing a genuine human emotion and holding it still for a moment. Summary:  The story tracks the creation of a  free-verse farewell poem  written for a relocating friend. It shows the shift from a forced rhyming structure to an honest, memory-driven piece. The final reading successfully connected with the audience by prioritizing  genuine emotion over perfection . Reflection:  This process proves that  authenticity matters more than rigid rules  in creative writing. Letting go of a strict poetic structure allowed for a much deeper, more relatable human connection. Ultimately, the piece succeeded because it focused on making someone feel  truly seen and val...

MULTI LIT: Today, we started our discussion about culture and food. What is one dish from your culture that is a must-have as a representation of your culture? Identify the dish and explain what it is and why it is significant.

For my culture dish I choose  paella , which is this huge rice dish from Valencia, Spain.  It’s basically made with saffron rice and traditionally cooked outside over an open fire in a massive flat pan called a paellera. It’s a perfect symbol for us because it’s historic and also represents how our culture is all about family and sharing. Summary: Paella actually started out as just a cheap, basic lunch for farmers who threw in whatever they had like short-grain rice, chicken, rabbit, and veggies. Everything cooks together in one pan until the rice turns bright yellow from the saffron. Reflection: I chose  paella  because it’s honestly way more than just a random meal, it’s like a whole Sunday event for families kinda like a cook-out here in America. Everyone just hangs out and catches up for hours while it cooks, and then you usually eat it right out of the pan together. It just makes me feel really connected to my roots.
