 Today in class we read the story called Ambush by Tim O'Brien, the story was mainly about a man's struggle with killing and the impact it will have on his actions and thoughts. He questions if what he did was good or bad, convincing himself that it was a good kill as the story goes on. 

After reading the story we were to complete 15 discussion questions about the story, I liked today's lesson, in different parts it made me question why killing has so many up and downs, and why people actually kill, then if they even have a thought about it after.

Prompt Response : Moving from my home town has always been a difficult thing for me to handle. As a kid i loved Alabama, it was somewhere i felt safe, somewhere i could do what I wanted and not have to feel suffocated by negative energy. I did not want to leave my family to create a new one with my mom and her boyfriend. Then as I grew older I realized how good of a decision it was. I realize that Alabama was so small and had nothing benefiting my life. Now I am open to many more opportunities.   Summary : Today in class we worked on a one pager, for the Ambush story that we all read on Monday.  Reflection : I learned from today's class how to successfully read and find the quotes, context for themes and vocab words as well. Writing the prompt also gave me a chance to think about my life and how it has expanded throughout the years.
