As Celie’s world expands in these letters, she begins noticing new things about the people in her life. Write about a moment when you suddenly noticed something funny, shocking, or unexpected about someone you see every day (a family member, a classmate, or even a teacher). How did that new discovery change the way you saw them?

  Prompt Response:   My teacher once unexpectedly shared a story about her father dying from stage 4 cancer, and it really stayed with me. Hearing it made me feel deeply sad, not only because of the loss itself but because I could sense how much it must have hurt her. I remember wondering how she managed to carry that pain while still showing up for us with patience, strength, and encouragement every day. Her ability to keep moving forward and still support her students showed me what resilience and dedication truly look like. Summary:  Today in class we continued reading The Color Purple and answering questions on Writable. Reflection:  I got better reading comprehension and analysis skills.

These letters show how Celie learns from the people around her, even in small ways. Think of someone in your life who influences you in a positive, everyday way—a friend, relative, teacher, or teammate. Write about what you’ve learned from them and how their influence shows up in your daily life.

    Prompt Response:   My 9th-grade biology teacher influenced me by making the subject clear and approachable. The easy-to-follow notes we took in class helped me truly understand the material instead of just memorizing it. She consistently encouraged me to do my best, reminding me that I was capable of more than I realized. That encouragement has stayed with me, and I still carry her message of always striving to do my best today. Summary:  Today in class we continued reading The Color Purple and started answering questions on Writable. Reflection:  I got better reading comprehension and analysis skills.

Blake uses the chimney sweepers to expose how society ignores suffering. Reflect on a time when you noticed someone being treated unfairly or saw a situation that didn’t seem right. How does this experience connect to the emotions or ideas expressed in one or both poems?

    Prompt Response:  The feeling of unfairness is when your middle school teacher excessively praised one student for "hard work," despite everyone putting in equal effort, strongly connects to the selective indifference Blake exposes. Just as the teacher chose to praised the effort of one student while ignoring the efforts of the rest, wealthy society in Blake's poems chose to focus only on their clean chimneys, allowing them to ignore the brutal suffering of the young sweeps. This dynamic reveals how those with power often fixate on a convenient, narrow narrative like a "hardworking" favorite which allows them to rationalize or simply overlook the deserving efforts and basic humanity of others.  Summary:  Today in class we read poems about child chimney sweeps and worked on the worksheet analyzing one of the poems. Reflection:  I got better teamwork skills and poetry analysis skills.
