Choose a word from Vocabulary Lesson 12. In at least one paragraph, define the word in your own words and explain where you encountered it. Describe how understanding this word helps improve your communication or writing skills.

 One time, I was with my friends at the beach and we were swimming across a river with a current and I made it to the other side but my friend was stuck in the middle, and it looked like a maelstrom so he was getting terrified and I jumped in after him and swam to him and grabbed him and gave him the boogie board that I had brought across with me, so that he could float on it. Then he paddled out and made it to the other side with me. This word is a word that I have never heard before so I added it to my vocabulary and can use it normally now.

Now that you have completed your sensory presentation, reflect on which of the five senses you value most. Identify the sense and explain why it holds the greatest importance to you.

 I think mine would have to be sight. There are so many things in this world to see and so many essential things to see. I do not believe life would have nearly as much meaning if there was no sight involved. It is the staple sense and it is widely essential to go about on this earth. I was absent today.

Choose one item from your "So Much Depends Upon" list and imagine it could talk. What story would it tell about you? Write from the item’s point of view.

 I would choose my shoes, if my shoes were living and could talk it would probably tell many stories of different places I've been and widely different experiences I've had. From the shoes point of view it would look low to the ground like when I'm running or playing sports it would see my sprint, slide, jump. It would talk about how much its been through and how long it's been wearing out.

Write about a book, poem, or article you’ve read that made you feel something deeply—whether it was joy, anger, sadness, or curiosity. What was the text, and what moment or message stood out to you the most?

 I read the Bible sometimes and it is some of the text in the New Testament when Jesus is saying love your enemies and be kind to those who do harm against you. The first time I read that I couldn't get my mind around how that made any sense, I was trying to think of a solution but I couldn't. I was shocked that with all the pure power Jesus had, he always forgave his enemies and loved them with a passion instead of seeking revenge or pride. That's something that I can always work on and need to become more aware of and remember that I really have no enemies and that everyone deserves to be treated with love like Jesus does for us.
