Prompt: As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

 I think what i enjoyed most about the class was group conversations about whatever topic we are on. I also enjoyed the group poster project about the book Fences. It was fun collaborating with others to bring together one presentation and illustration. I think the book , The Color Purple, was most engaging because it took a lot of discussion for understanding purposes and there were plenty of assignments in correlation to this book. I think i would like more improvement on understanding old time; sophisticated poems in the future.

Prompt: Many holidays center around traditions. Describe one tradition that is important to you or your family and explain why it still matters (or why it no longer does).

 One tradition me and my family do often is sunday dinner. For years Sunday dinner(even for holidays and birthdays) took place at my uncles house , and everyone would eat good and have a good time as a family. Now ,Sunday dinner is still a thing , just narrowed down to me , my mom and sometimes my girlfriend. I like the quality time together and eating is always a plus.

Prompt: How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

 When i was younger holidays used to be so exciting and fun. I used to receive a bunch of gifts,food,good times, and fun activities. Now for the holidays, they are a bit more nerve recking. Though they are still exciting because of quality time, now i have to purchase gifts, help provide some food and do a whole lot of brainstorming. As u got older the responsibility of making others happy grew more and more.

Prompt: At the end of the novel, Celie reconnects with Nettie and forms more peaceful relationships with the people who once harmed her. Reflect on the theme of reconciliation. Have you ever restored a relationship, forgiven someone, or been forgiven in a way that changed you? How does the novel’s ending shape your understanding of forgiveness across different cultures or families?

Given me and my significant other go through things, there has been plenty of times where we have both got into and apologized. Each time it feels as if we get stronger and stronger. All of these disagreements teach me something new lesson wise. The novel showed me that forgiving doesn't always end in getting backstabbed again and that sometimes its ok to let your guard down for a better outcome in the future.

Prompt: Write about a song that brings back a specific memory.

 The song “Cant stop the feeling.” Brings me nostalgia. Everytime i hear this song i think about how i heard the song at the end of the Trollz movie in the movie theater. I remember everyone dancing and singing the song and everything was just perfect. There was popcorn flying , people smiling , and laughs filled the room.

Prompt: Write about the best gift you have received.

 The best gift i received was a decorated room for my birthday filled with gifts, balloons, rose petals, and money! This was all a surprise so it was even better. I was filled with joy and excitement. It made me realize how good i have it and made me more grateful than ever. Even after the surprise, i had a great rest of the week.

When Celie says, “The God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know,” she expresses disappointment, betrayal, and disillusionment. Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

 When i was younger of course i believe in Santa Clause. Though kids at school will tell me all the time santa was fake i didnt believe them. One day, i woke up in the middle of the night and saw my father wrapping gifts. I was devastated. I felt tricked and lied to. Out of spite and rebelliousness, i went to school the following week and told everyone Santa was fake. Given , i was telling everyone i could possibly tell, students began to cry. The  teacher decided to call my mom , and i had to go home for the rest of the day.

Prompt: Pretend you are writing a blog entry as Celie; the moment you uncover the hidden letters. Describe what you would think, say, and do, and how this discovery would reshape how you see Mister and yourself. Reflect on why this moment would matter so much and how it would change your next choices.

 Though you have your feelings about me, i still would never think you would disrespect me enough to do something this evil. This is the devils work. Me and Nettie have always been one and there for each other, you already threw her out ,and you have the guts to withhold my sisters letters. Your an evil man Albert. And i hate you. I dont care how much you beat me , i will never respect you the same.

Prompt: In Letters 46–50, Celie begins to see Albert more clearly—his flaws, his regrets, and the ways he changes when he is no longer in complete control of her. Their relationship slowly shifts from fear and dominance to honesty and distance. Write about a relationship in your life that changed over time as you grew older or more aware. What made the dynamic shift, and how did your understanding of that person evolve?

 A relationship that changed over time was my relationship woth my paternal grandparents. When i was younger i used to talk, text and visit them in Virginia very often. As i grew up i became less attached. Not because of anything negative, but simply because it just happened. I still love them dearly , we just communicate less. Growing up they taught me alot and put me through learning experiences so for that im grateful.
