In “The Rockpile,” the children know that the rockpile is dangerous and that they are supposed to stay away from it, but curiosity still draws them toward it. Think about a time when curiosity or temptation caused you to ignore a warning or rule. What happened, and what did you learn from the experience?

One time when curiosity got the best of me and caused me to ignore a warning was when I was in Colorado. There was a warning sign telling people not to go past a certain point, but I climbed over it because I wanted to see a view that I would not have been able to see otherwise. While I was there, I slipped and fell, hurting my ankle. When I got back, my parents reprimanded me for ignoring the warning. This experience taught me that sometimes curiosity can lead to bad decisions and that warnings are there for a reason.

Today in class we read the short story "The Rockpile.

I can reflect on this experience by listening to signs of warning. And not letting curiosity get the best of me.

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.
