11/14/25: 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?

 Prompt Response: 

There was a time when my view of a person completely changed because of something I learned later. I used to think one of my classmates was unfriendly because she rarely talked to anyone and always seemed to keep to herself. I assumed she did not want to be bothered, so I never tried to get to know her. But one day during a group project, I found out she had recently moved and was struggling with anxiety about being in a new school. She wasn't avoiding people, she was overwhelmed and trying her best to adjust. That new information made me rethink every interaction I had seen before. Instead of seeing her silence as rudeness, I saw it as fear. Just like Faulkner's ending forced readers to reinterpret Emily's entire life, this moment made me reinterpret hers. It reminded me that people's behavior often has a deeper story behind it, and that first impressions can be completely misleading.


Summary: 

Today in class we took a test on the story "A Rose for Emily" then watched a video on the story.


Reflection: 

I learned how to use the process of elimination and help from other peers to get a question right on the quiz.

Describe a real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship you experienced.

 Prompt Response: A real-life situation where jealousy negatively affected a relationship was when my friend was jealous about how I live life outside of school and the attention I would get from some people when we hang out with each other.
