In Emily Dickinson’s “I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain,” the speaker experiences a mind that seems to work against her. Sometimes our own thoughts can make a situation feel worse than it actually is. Describe a time when overthinking, worrying, or doubting yourself affected the way you handled a situation. What did you learn from the experience?

 One time when I overthought or doubted myself was when I took my final exams last year. They were not very hard but I kept overthinking the problems and ending out switching my answers which made me get a worse grade. I think if I just go with my gut and the first answer I get I will do better on my test. I will apply this method when I take all my test this year and hopefully get a better grades this year.

Today in class we read another poem by Emily Dickinson.

In class today I learned more about Emily Dickinson. One thing I learned and reflected on is how she never got famous until she was dead, I can reflect on this to express my work and let it be known while I'm alive.

Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

 One meaningful object that carries a story in my life is my lacrosse stick. I have played through many games with it since i started the sport and it is very special to me. I have gone through tough times and good times with it. I will always cherish it in my heart and it holds very special memories in it to me. Today in class we took a test on the story "A Rose For Emily." I can reflect on this test by improving my testing comprehension. Taking tests like this will improve my skills and help me get into a good college.

In “Because I could not stop for Death,” Emily Dickinson presents life as a journey that eventually comes to an end. What experiences in your life have reminded you that time moves quickly? How have those experiences affected the way you value your time?

 One experience in my life that made me come to realization how fast time really moves is when both of my sisters moved out of the house. They moved out of the house to get a greater education at college. After my older sister moved out time went by so fast and my other sister moved out as well. This experience made me realize how fast time really moves. I was from school today but I can’t reflect on this quote by living my life to the fullest and not letting time go to waste. I can reflect on this quote and include it in my life by living my life to the fullest. Time moves by very fast and in an instant I’ll be in college so I have to cherish the moments with my parents while I can.

In Part I of A Rose for Emily, Emily’s house stands out from the community and reflects both her past and the changes happening around her. Think about a house, building, or place that holds special memories for you. What does that place look like, what memories do you connect with it, and what does it represent to you?

 One building that holds special memories for me is my house that I have grown up in most of my life. We moved into my house when I was very young and I instantly fell in love with it. I watched my sisters grow up in it and had some good and bad memories in the house. But this house will always have a special place in my heart. My loving parents raised me and my sisters in this house and I will never forget it. Today in class we started the story "A Rose For Emily," and answered questions about it. I can reflect on this story by staying sentimental about where I reside or places to me that are special. Like my grandmas houses and friends cherishing memories in them.
