Prompt: In the poem, the speaker and his neighbor meet each year to repair a wall. Describe a time when you had to set or respect a boundary with a friend, family member, or classmate. How did it help or hurt your connection with that person?

 One time I had to set a boundary was with a friend who kept copying my homework. I told them I couldn’t share my work anymore because it wasn’t fair to me. At first, it made things a little awkward, but later they understood. It helped our friendship because we started working together the right way instead of cheating.

Prompt: Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly.

That made my analysis more accurate and easier to explain.
