Prompt: The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

A moment when new information changed how I saw someone was when I learned more about a kid in my grade who always acted quiet and kept to himself. At first, I thought he was just unfriendly, but later I found out he was dealing with a lot at home, including taking care of a sick family member. That completely changed how I saw him. Instead of thinking he didn’t want to talk to people, I realized he was carrying way more stress than most of us knew. Just like the ending of “A Rose for Emily” makes readers rethink Emily’s whole life, this new information made me rethink his behavior and understand him in a more caring and patient way.

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. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

Prompt Response: One step that helped me understand rhetorical analysis better was identifying the rhetorical situation. Breaking it down into speaker, audience, purpose, and context made the message easier to understand. It helped me see why the speaker chose certain words and ideas. Summary: Identifying the rhetorical situation made the analysis process clearer and more organized. Reflection: This step improved my ability to analyze a speaker’s message because I wasn’t just guessing what it meant. I could connect the message to who it was meant for and why it was said. That made my analysis more accurate and easier to explain.

 I spent my break hanging out with my friends a lot. I spent almost every day with my friends, especially M.E. I had a lot of fun, especially at the new years partys.   The first goal I hope to achieve is a 32 or higher on my ACT.  This goal is important to me because I will need a good ACT score to get into my dream school, UGA.  I will achieve this goal by trying hard on   my ACT.

I hope to achieve this goal by October for early admission. My second goal is to get into UGA early admission.  This is very important to me because it's my dream school and has the major and frat I hope to do in college.  I will achieve this goal by trying my absolute hardest in my classes this year and next, achieving a 32 or higher on my ACT, and further improving my extracurricular activities.
