In both texts that you read, the line between reality and imagination blurs—the narrator sees a woman in the wallpaper, while Dickinson’s speaker feels their own funeral happening in their mind. Have you ever had an experience where stress, fear, or emotions made something feel distorted or unreal? How did you ground yourself in reality again?

 An experience I've had when the line between reality and imagination blurred is one time when I was having a panic attack and I thought everyone hated me and I couldn't get myself together. I was having a really bad time and it got to the point where I couldn't control my thoughts anymore and my mom had to calm me down. 

Today in class we started discussion questions on the yellow wallpaper. I thought it was an interesting assignment and helped me learn more about the story.

Vocabulary

 Today in class we got vocabulary words and had to find images that went along with them. We also had to explain why we chose those images. I learned that it's harder to find pictures for things than I might have thought. I didn't really like this lesson because I thought it was very tedious and I lost interest very quickly. Today I am feeling ok. I have a bit of a headache and i'm having a little trouble focusing but other than that things are going pretty well. I really want to go home though.

Why I want a wife questions

 Today in class we finished and discussed the questions for the essay we read yesterday. I thought this was interesting because it was cool to see different peoples perspective on it. I enjoyed this assignment because I am very interested in gender roles and why things are the way they are. Today I am feeling alright. I have a doctors appointment to discuss possible meds for my ADHD and we are going to get accomodations soon so that's nice.

Presentations

 Today, we presented our projects on the poem we read Wednesday in class. I learned more about self expression and why it's important to not conform to the societal standard. This impacted me because a lot of the time it is easy to just try to run with the crowd so it's nice to hear about people who don't and how they feel. I liked this assignment and presenting because it was fairly simple but also allowed for discussion and collaboration. Today, i'm very tired and my head hurts really bad because I suffer from chronic migraines (whomp whomp) and it often triggers normal headaches too.
