  Something I don’t know how to do is skate. Every time  I use to go skating when I was younger it was kind of hard because it use to hurt hitting the floor hard.There was a time when I use to know but eventually I gave up because I stopped skating.I do plan on going sometime in the future and learning again.

 Something I planned to was watch my surroundings meaning the people I hang around and things that I allow myself to do.Basically to be in control of my actions and try not to let my emotions get the best of me.It’s not something that I plan on doing tomorrow but as time progresses I tend to over

 Something that I have knowledge of something that doesn’t get better are experiences that you don’t let go of.For example everyone goes through problems it’s up to you to improve your self mentally, physically ,  & emotionally.Most people tend to blame others and hold grudges.

  Today in class we read a poem called , "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost.The poem was simple.The moral of the poem was goods things don"t last.For example someone could be in a good relationship but the partner could've been in a past relationship that didn't go so well or they could simply not be mature enough for a relationship.So the relationship doesn't last as long as you expected.Then again everyone isn't seeking a relationship some could be seeking fortune and fame then end up losing that.In my opinion you should cherish all the little things and grow from your bad things.

  Today in class I read a poem by Robert Frost called Birches.One of the themes were  I notice was to have an purpose.How do you find my purpose?How do you know you are in purpose?What do you do if you are NOT in purpose?Purpose means to have an objective or to master a goal and thrive.To answer those three questions you have to go through life experiences.By going through experiences means physical and spiritual experiences , basically trails and tribulations.You have to show that you went through your ups and downs and are now thriving and evolving.If your are struggling with purpose you should renew your mind.Work on temptation try bettering yourself and your surroundings.Then your mind itself will seek purpose and purpose as well will seek you.

  Today I reflected from my class period where claims and thesis statements. Also that there is three types of claims.These three claims are claims of fact, value, and policy.Claim of fact is to assert to something that is true or false.Claim of value is an debate(argument) that something is right or wrong , but must meet an external criteria.Claim of policy is when you suggest a change.Last but not least thesis statement is you position and claim.Another statement is the umbrella thesis statement you must have topic, point, and allude to the reasons.I notice from learning the three types of claims that I use these everyday.

  Today what i reflected from my class period was the some figurative forms of language.For example pathos, ethos, and logos something I'm familiar with.I know that logos is the opinionated response but with evidence.Pathos is the compassionate side with evidence.Ethos is the character mainly someone you look up to for advice or interest into something.
