10-13-20 I think we do less of the things that we used to do when we were younger because we are more mature now and perhaps we just find those things boring. Especially with the technology that we have nowadays, most kids/teens choose to be on their devices rather than going outside to play with their friends.

10-23-20 An important decision I had to make was whether I wanted to keep playing basketball or football. I chose to continue playing football because most of my friends were playing football and in my opinion, it's more of a fun sport then basketball.

11-18-20 First impressions are important because most people are only going to meet you one time and remember you for a certain reason.

Final Reflection For American Literature

    This semester was unlike any other courses that I've taken throughout high school. The fall of 2020 was the hardest season I have experienced in my lifetime.

In conversations with Montag, she shows him how she observes society, loves nature, and reflects off of what she sees. She shares her insights with people while expressing wonderment at the way people talk to each other without actually talking about something meaningful. She shares metaphors comparing the rain to wine and fallen leaves to cinnamon. She displays curiosity about other people's motivations and lives a
