In Fences, Lyons asks his father, Troy, to lend him money. Do you think adult children should ask their parents to borrow money, or should they be expected to handle their financial problems on their own? Explain your opinion and connect it to your own experiences, observations, or beliefs about family and money.

 I think the only reason an adult should ask their parents for money is if its for a one time family emergency. besides that i think its immature and showing you need to get your life together. adults should be expected to handle situations because they pay their own things. Now if its a one time thing its understandable as a loan.

What parts of your identity have had the greatest influence on the person you are today? Have you ever felt pressure to change, hide, or emphasize a part of yourself in order to fit in?

 I think a part of my identity would be my hair, and face or the way i dress, when you look at me you think i might do something in the beauty industry and its because i do and i think it helps me express what i love and want to do as my future career. When people first look at you they see your outside and when your presenting business you want people to know you know what your doing. When i was younger I felt as though i've always stood out and have wanted to fit in with social standards at schools but i knew deep down i wanted to look different or i didn't like the styles other girls would wear because i knew that wasn't me and i've come to terms with that.

With 4.5-week grades posting on September 2, reflect on your experience in AP Language so far. What has been going well for you, what has been challenging, and what is one thing you need to improve moving forward?

 I feel as though i do a good job staying on task getting the work done in class in groups. But on the other hand the blogs are hard to keep up with. In class work is nice and on a good level not impossible but not too challenging and i appreciate that. When working alone i feel as though my thoughts are harder to form cause i dont have other peoples opinions and cant take that in with what i think.

Reflect on a time when you discovered a new perspective that completely changed how you viewed a person, group, or place. How did your previous “single story” shape your thoughts or actions?

 I had a boyfriend freshman year,  but now hes not the same person i knew. I thought we thrived together and grew for the better of each other. Eventually over time i think his friends and dad had opinions on me changed his perspective on people and so he would make little comments that would hurt my feelings and slowly it started turning into control. Not only to me but other people. Hes not a very supportive open person and it showed deep but i never thought anything over because people had their own opinions and you cant change that. I felt as though maybe he could change or i could shape him into a better person but unfortunately it only got worse i thought that the way he treated me was what i deserved or only thing i could get until i met someone better who showed me different and what care should look like. I'm so thankful for that and now i know don't stoop for the bottom or let people control or change you for the worse.
