"I Too" poem

Today we read a poem by Langston Hughes in which the speaker reflects on their place in society. After reading the poem, I learned that it is wrong to make false accusations about others. Getting to know someone can reveal much about a person and provide a better understanding of their cultural background. I liked this lesson because the poem can be interpreted in various ways by different people, including yourself. As we read the poem, I struggled to determine symbolism the speaker used. Today I feel great! Although I am still adjusting to the teaching style of my new orchestra teacher, I am learning several new pieces for an upcoming event. After this period, I have to stay after school for marching band practice, even though I don't really want to go.

Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

They proceeded to say "yours weren't enough". I didn't know what they meant by that. I processed those words as they just didn't like me in the way it was before, but that's ok. I have to understand unfortunately you can't keep those you love close all the time and only trying won't bring them any closer or receive what you want from them.  Summary: Today, we did a reflection on our semester.  Reflection:  It's good to have a moment and think both how we are doing in our lives. So far, this week has been stressful atlest on my end. Virtual learning this week only made me hav...

Why I want a Husband

Today we compared the gender roles of what are expected from a wife and a husband. I liked this lesson because we were able to see the view point of the speaker, on how hard it can be to be a wife, or what is expected from a wife. The things expected from a husband can somewhat be hard to be expected from a man when they are not committed. Today, I have practice after school.
