 Prompt Response: The image is criticizing the what the president finds most concerning. As the president he is supposed to care about what is happening to the citizens of the country before any international conflict that America should not be part of. The president should be caring about how citizens are being hurt by the enforced ICE instead of being involved in the Middle East. This also goes with how the big beautiful bill is harming a lot of citizens instead of helping. The source suggest that leaders may use international affairs as a way of distracting citizens from the real issue at hand that are affecting their actual daily lives.

 Prompt Response: In the past during research I used more generic terms related to my topics that were assigned. When researching I did not take the time to go into more detail.

 Prompt Response: My assigned topic was plastic surgery which is difficult to answer since it can be used for different reasons and can be accessed in various ways. This makes it difficult to focus on a single issue with this topic besides from the influence of social media. One viewpoint of plastic surgery is that it can be used to medically treat patients who need it. Another view point is for cosmetic plastic surgery to satisfy a patient on their looks.

 Prompt Response: In the past when working on research assignments, I've had troubles working with a group. In a group setting I have to consider everyone's personal stance and how they will present the evidence. While working individually I have control on the order of things presented so they flow. I usually handle this by talking with my group members and making sure that we can find a agreement in which we want to write the research paper and on which stance we want to take.  Summary: During the class period we went over the new section of the course as we were introduced to our research paper. We read the required materials and talked about what is expected from us as we work individually and in our groups. After we got into our groups and talked about how stance on our topics.

 prompt response: The desire for Chris McCandless to be independent lend to his death as he tried to live out on his own in Alaska. He quickly learned that hunting on his own was hard as he could not perserve the food myself properly. This fault made his go hungry and led to him being desperate to consume seeds that killed him. A similiar time is when I wanted complete independence when it came to driving. For the most part things went to plan but I did have some mistakes when driving with my mom.

 Prompt Response: The movie deepend my understanding of Chris, as I was able to see his raw reactions as they tranlate differently on screen then being described in th book based on his excerpts. In the film I was able to witness his frustrated with the difficulty of gathering food in Alaska. While at the farm he learned from a guy on what to do when hunting and he seemed very optimistic and secure with just those intructions and so seeing him talking to himself as well as yelling really deepens his reality. A similiar time when I saw something visually that changed my perception is when I first read the book Charlie's Chocolate Factory in elementary. After that I watched the movie and I visually got to see the transformations happening which made it more clear for me.  Summary: During the class period we continued watching the movie "Into The Wild" in class. After waching the movie we answered discussion based questions on the scenes. The questions were centered around h...
