After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.

 Prompt: I am not sure if this is absurd or not, but I had a hockey tournament in Nashville. I was supposed to go to the tournament a day before my dad could go and I literally forgot my hockey bag with all of my gear and hockey uniform. My dad was pretty mad because he had drop everything to drive my bag and uniforms all the way to Nashville. Good news is that I had a pretty great tournament that weekend.

Summary: I was not in class because I had a dentist appoint.

Reflection: Since the subject is absurdity, I think sometimes you just have to go with when things get absurd. If you move on with the absurbity and not stress out then you are more likely to have fun.

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: I had experienced being an outsider when I transferred to a new school mid-year, where people already had their circle and routine. I felt like a stranger and as if I was intruding in a world with no room for me. That sense of isolation made it hard to connect with other individuals and encouraged me to retreat further. Eventually, though, a classmate of mine began including me in group activities and conversations, and this helped gradually to erode the wall of invisibility around me. As in The Interlopers, that change of heart from viewing others as strangers to viewing common humanity changed the emotional weather and allowed for the building of a new sense of community. Summary:I was. not present in class this day Reflection:people will exept you if you reach out to them.
