How has completing the annotated bibliography changed or clarified your understanding of your research topic? Discuss how your sources connect to one another and how they are shaping your argument moving forward.

 Completing the annotated bibliography has given me a lot more direction of where I wanna go with my project. It has allowed me to see different sides, different views, different effects and overall just many many different stories. However, many seem to have the same goal. I’ve also learned throughout my sources that terrorism comes in more forms than I would’ve thought.

Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

  Prompt Response:  Growing up similar to "The Rockpile," I was forbidden from going on the train tracks near my home. I was always told it was unsafe for many reasons: trains, drugs, and dangerous people. However, as I grew, I did what most kids tend to do: not listen. I decided to start exploring the what looked calm to me train tracks. I walked down the tracks all the time in new directions and further distances. It all seemed fine until about 6 months of hanging out down there, when I began to feel unsafe. Summary: My parents forbade me from going down to the train tracks growing up, similar to "The Rockpile." Reflection:  Kids often rebel and have to learn lessons on their own, even when told not to by a parent.

Think about the vocabulary words from Lesson Two. Write about a time you saw or heard one of these words outside of the classroom — maybe in a movie, song, social media post, or book. Describe how it was used and whether the context helped you understand the word better.

I am familiar with some of the words in this lesson, but one sticks out to me more than others. Metamorphosis, I have heard used in many movies and even some books. But the most vivid memories I have of the word being used has always been in alien or zombie movies. It pointed me into the right direction with the word, but never gave me the full understanding. In many movies and books, I have seen the word metamorphosis be used, giving me a general idea of the word, but never a full understanding. Questions like these caused me to think I need to pay more attention to the vocabulary I observed from books and media.

Write about a dream that felt real.

  Prompt Response:  I often don't dream, but when I do, they can be very vivid and clear. I had a dream not too long ago where I was running for my life. I was with a friend of mine, and someone had approached us aggressively. We ran through a city, then led to a forest. The last thing I remember is jumping down a rock, then I woke up in a gasp of air. Summary: I had a realistic dream of running from danger. Reflection:  Dreams can be very vivid, sometimes even making us question reality.
