Today you created similes and metaphors that reflect your struggles, growth, and resilience. What did you learn about yourself while writing your figurative language?

Prompt Response: Writing these similes and metaphors weren't hard per se only that it was just a little tough trying to think of them. Once I knew what I wanted it just kept on getting easier to write them. I wrote about many different things with the topics provided and was still able to keep the message I was trying to give concise and intentionally vague in a way that I didn't want to reveal much about myself. This assignment was honestly a kind of relief since I knew I didn't have to try as hard as I thought I was.
Summary: Today, we created our own metaphors and similes in class that reflects kind of who we are.
Reflection: Sometimes writing out your struggle and growth as any figurative language would relieve some of the stress that's been lingering.

Prompt response: As I have grown older, I realize now that the holidays have really changed much with me. Just like Christmas, when I was really young, I would always wish to Santa like many people did, but at somepoint we all find out that santa isnt real and that just happens in life. I appreciate Christmas just as much as I did when I was a kid, as it is a time for gift giving and joy for the whole family. Summary: Today, we as a class all watched the movie The Color Purple and compared both the book and the film's scenes to see the difference. Reflection: I now know that all holidays we celebrate grow with us, and I find that to be great, as it shows that even at anytime or age you can still enjoy holidays.
