Have you ever had a first impression of someone that later turned out to be wrong? What made you form that first impression, and what eventually changed your mind? Based on what you have read so far, what first impression do you have of Mr. Shiflet? Explain what he has said or done that has shaped your opinion of him.

 My first impression of my middle school literature teacher was that he was very mean and strict. After taking his class I can confidently say his class was probably my favorite. He assigned a lot of work but he also sold snacks to the whole school. So even though my expectation was that he was strict he actually turned out to be really cool.

Summary: Read "The Life You Save May be Your Own"

Reflection: I learned about how subtle manipulation can be.

September 11 changed many aspects of American life, even though your generation was born afterward. Think about a major event that has happened during your own lifetime, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or another event that affected your community or the country. How do you think your experience with that event helps you understand what it might have been like for Americans to experience the uncertainty and change following 9/11? Explain the connection.

 During the events of the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a feeling of shock and fear that I had never experienced before. It was literally unbelievable how bad it got just hearing about how many lives it affected. I think that same feeling relates to how people felt on 9/11. both events were very devastating and unexpected to people all around the world. Also, a "new normal" was introduced for both events. After 9/11, airport security heightened and the same went for any other government building in fear and preparation of another tragedy happening like 9/11 again. After the global pandemic, increased sanitation and wearing masks more often was the "new normal". Summary: We completed a test and I worked on other work. Reflection: We took a test on "A Rose for Emily". I think I did okay seeing as I had to read through the story again to get a better understanding.
