Prompt: In Into the Wild, Christopher McCandless gives up many of his possessions in pursuit of freedom and meaningful experiences. If you had to simplify your life and keep only a few important possessions, what would you keep and why? What would be hardest to leave behind?

  Prompt Response:   If I had to simplify my life and keep only a few important possessions I'd probably take a break from working until after high school. I realistically wouldn't want to give this up due to the experiences and gain I get out of it. It's one of the reasons I can have fun with friends, drive, and spoil myself musically. This question is extremely hard and I honestly wouldn't give up anything I have going on right now.  If I had to simplify my life and keep only a few important possessions this is what I'd leave behind.  Summary: I learned about new information from Chapter 4.  Reflection:  I worked on the Writable assignment about Chapter 4.

Prompt: People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

  Prompt Response:  A  time when I needed to distance myself from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective was at work. It was a very busy Friday night and I work in the kitchen running food. I was overloaded with a large amount of tickets and it was very overstimulating. On top of that, servers kept messing up various things. In order to calm myself I had to take a step outside and cool down. What I learned from that is if you're in a difficult situation, get frustrated, take a breather and come back with a fresh mind.  Summary: I learned about what's going on in chapter 2-3.  Reflection:  I worked on reading chapters 2-3 and worked on the worksheet.

Prompt: After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

  Prompt Response:  My  first impression of Christopher McCandless is mainly curiosity. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, I believe that he isn't really sure what he's doing and winging it. I believe this due to the conversations he endured with the truck driver. He didn't know much on the route he was taking, food situation, etc. This was my first impression of Christopher McCandless.    Summary: I learned about Christopher McCandless and the start of his long journey.  Reflection:  I worked on reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild.

Prompt: Today you worked on creating your Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express. In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

  Prompt Response:  The assignment we did today on vocabulary section 9 was very interesting. I didn't understand most of the words but the one I knew automatically was "bumpkin." The hardest word to understand was "soporific." Picking images and different  scenarios definitely helped me start to understand the different meanings of this vocabulary. This is what we did in the assignment today on vocabulary section 9.  Summary: I learned about the new vocabulary in section 9.  Reflection:   I worked on creating my Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express.
