Prompt: These letters show how Celie learns from the people around her, even in small ways. Think of someone in your life who influences you in a positive, everyday way—a friend, relative, teacher, or teammate. Write about what you’ve learned from them and how their influence shows up in your daily life.

 Prompt Response: Growing up my father has always influenced me throughout life and still continues to do so. My fathers job is a construction worker, despite working every single day, no matter what, he always wakes up at 6AM, goes to work at 7AM and comes back home  around   7-9PM. It doesn't matter if he is tired, if he gets seriously hurt, he always pushes himself to get up off his bed to start his day. What I've learned from this man is that you have to do your work no matter what, do it if your sad, do it if you are hurt, do it if you lost sleep, do it if you are happy, do it in whatever state you're in because sadly the way in life is determined by money. My father has even once disclosed his shoulder and he didn't allow that problem to make him miss a day of work. He always remains positive in any given situation and that's the type of person i aim to be. 

Summary: November 18, 2025, absent from school

Reflection: I strive to be positive, to be helpful, to be understanding. The main goal isn't designer bags or fast cars, It's to regulate my nervous system, financial stability, to have free time and to wake up excited everyday.

In "The Lamb" and "The Tyger", both poems suggest that beauty and danger can come from the same source. Describe a time when something or someone you admired also scared or challenged you. How did that experience change the way you see the world or the idea of “goodness”?
