Prompt: Based on the first 40 minutes of the film and Chapters 1–11 of the book, does the visual version of Chris’s journey make his choices seem more justified or more reckless than the text does? Explain how the medium (film vs writing) shapes your perspective.

 Prompt: The movie makes Chris look like a hero because the beautiful scenery justifies his journey. The book makes him look reckless by focusing on his lack of food and gear. Seeing him on screen makes his choices feel like a brave adventure. Reading about him makes his mistakes and poor planning stand out more. The film uses art to make us agree with him, but the writing uses facts to show his risks.

Summary: Today in class we watch into the wild and answered questions.

Reflection: I learned not to go back to little scissors for my haircut.

In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders intruding on their land and their lives. Think about a time when you felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes?

 Prompt: When I use to play baseball my friends and I always played with each other for our travel season. Their dads were the coaches and so was my dad. We played from about 7U to 12U together, we were basically family. Sadly eventually people started leaving and sooner or later we were all gone. So I had to go a real travel team, I tried out for this brand new program called Atlanta Fuego and I knew absolutely nobody. I felt so out of place and almost like I didn't belong there for a while. Then I kinda started to mingle with the new kids and coaches and I grew pretty fond of them a couple of months in. But it was very weird and hard for me to make it feel like home again. Summary: Today in class we completed a common lit since Mr. Rease was out. Reflection: I learned what the definition of Interloper was from the story "The Interlopers".

Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

 Prompt: A burning question that has me wondering about life is what is in Area 51, I've heard so many crazy story's and theory's on what other people think. But I just have no clue what could be in there, aliens or maybe even space ships? We might never know the answer to that one but hopefully one day we will. Another burning question I have about life is what happens when you die. I believe in God, and I know heaven is a real place, i am just very interested in seeing what it is actually like. I believe it's  a happy place where you get to see loved ones, friends, and people you've missed that have passed. But no one can ever answer this question until you yourself die and experience what goes beyond after you pass. Summary: Today we planned our origin myth out on writable. Reflection: I learned how to plan a story step by step, also how to work on the writable platform.

Write about a time when you did something out of the norm. What was it and how did others react?

 Prompt: Something out of the norm that I have done is become a cowboys fan in the middle of Georgia. I became a cowboys fan when I was 6 years old my cousin and I were watching a game and I remember vividly Tony Romo was throwing bullets to Dez Bryant. Something about their connection was just something special, the way they could air it out on defenses amazed me. So when i came back from my cousins I told everyone that i was a cowboys fan and man they did not like me. I was bullied at school and home relentlessly because everyone in the world hates the cowboys apparently. Even though I was ridiculed by everyone and their mom, I never switched up on them. Through thick and thin. I will always support my Dallas Cowboys. Summary: Today in class we finished up our heart visual representations. Reflection: I learned to wear a jacket and close toed shoes when coming to 7th period.
