Prompt: . Blake uses the chimney sweepers to expose how society ignores suffering. Reflect on a time when you noticed someone being treated unfairly or saw a situation that didn’t seem right. How does this experience connect to the emotions or ideas expressed in one or both poems?

 Prompt Response: There's been times in school where i've seen and heard a number of students struggle mentally and therefore respond in rude ways or ways that were a cry for help but hardly anybody would take time to notice. Instead of finding ways that these students can be a bit more comfortable or make them feel heard or seen, staff, teachers or administration are very quick to judge and mistreat which effectively ignore the true depth of a student's pain. A lack of providing meaningful help causing them to fail their titles as someone to trust. A simple gesture to make people feel better without challenging the issues of others distress. 

Summary: October 27, Monday, Absent from school. 

Reflection: I strive to be the best that i can be everyday in any way possible, to reach my short term goals and to achieve my long term goals later on the the future, in order to live in peace.
