Prompt: In "A Rose for Emily", Miss Emily's actions shock the reader-she kills her fiance' and keeps his body in her home for years. People often react with disbelief when they hear about real-life stories that seem just as unbelievable. Write about the most shocking or "craziest" news story you have ever heard. What happened, and why did it stand out to you? How did people react to it, and what does it reveal about human behavior?

 Prompt response: One of the craziest things I remember happening is when the I-85 bridge collapsed. We were eating at The Grove restaurant and it was on all of the TVs and everyone was talking about it. My mom needed to go over that bridge in order to go to work and she had to work in another location for a month. It was crazy how fast they replaced it. People reacted to it with shock because it affected so much of the city.

Summary: We worked on the writeable for A Rose for Emily.

Reflection: You never know how one event would affect your life and the lives of other people.

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.
