Prompt Response: A moment in my life when I followed what looked cool or fun was last year when I followed my friends in skipping a school event because it seemed fun and I didn't want to look uncool. At the moment it felt bold, but we ended up getting in trouble, and i realized I hadn't made a responsible choice. What influenced me was wanting to fit in, just like the speakers in "We Real Cool." Later I understood that trying to look cool isn't worth the consequences, and it's better to make choices for myself. Summary: In class we read the poem "We Real Cool", analyzed it based on a teenagers thoughts and feelings and applied it to a cluster. Reflection: I learned how to apply life experiences to a story and analyze how they affect someone's life or future.
