        We read a story about a veteran in Vietnam and he was talking about how he killed someone.  Then we were asked if it ´ s  okay to kill people or is it not what I was in between because people react to emotions. When you kill someone you get PTSD in return so it´s not really worth it. Afterwards I  had to get information from the story to back up the  information.  

 While working on the project I notice that companies just want a reason to fire you. That´s why they have random drug tests every now but it seems like it gets into your personal life. What ´ s wrong with someone smoking if they're not doing illegal things.  

  We read an passage about health and learned that people are getting fired for having bad health habits like doing drugs or drinking alcohol on the daily. Like if you had a class to quit smoking you don ´ t want the teacher smoking everyday. Doctors who drink and smoke everyday should not be doctors but if you work at a fast food place they should not judge you because they sell unhealthy food.

 I learned that Emily Dickinson wrestled with mental illness in their adult lives. There are indications that both suffered from major depression, bipolar disorder, and seasonal affective disorder. She involves her depression in her poems.

 The poem "Heart, we will forget him!" Is about the speaker who met someone they really care for and love. But they're trying to disparately about the person. But the things that were meaningful are the hardest to forget. The theme is relationships, emotions are pain, and sadness .

 This poem is about how the speaker is losing her mind and can only describe it as a funeral. It talks about the speaker descent into madness. They also experience the horror of going insane/crazy. The theme is a mental and emotional state of suffering and death.
