In “Missing Your People,” Tracy Brower explains the importance of belonging. Describe a time when you felt like you truly belonged. What created that feeling?

 A time where I felt like I truly belong somewhere was when I joined an art community who shared the same interests as me. I found good friends and people that I find funny. I thing that it is very important to find a place to belong because it can help you on your own journey of doing the things that you like. Joining this community led to me making art for people and playing my favorite games with friends I have Made.

Summary: We did a Common Lit about "Missing your people" by Tracy Brower

Reflection: A lesson I took away from this was that finding community is important.

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.

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.
