5/1 Prompt: As we approach the end of the course, reflect on the texts, discussions, and concepts explored in Multicultural Literature. What is one significant lesson about culture or identity that has stood out to you? Explain why this lesson is meaningful and analyze how it connects to your own experiences or perspective.

 Response: For me the lesson that stood out the most was the single story. It is so meaningful because it helps you not be so ignorant about other cultures. Although it is a basic cornerstone of Multicultural lit it is definitely one of the most important ones.

4/30 Prompt: How important is education in your life right now? Do you think students around the world value school the same way you do? Explain your reasoning.

 Response: It is pretty important since I am about to graduate, but after that I don't think it will be my largest priority. Traditional school is not for me. I don't think students around the world view school the same as me since for some it is their only opportunity. 

4/29 Prompt: After viewing your classmates’ presentations, which cultural group did you find most interesting? Explain why. Then, reflect on how this presentation changed or deepened your understanding of that culture.

 Response: I might be biased because I did the most research about it, but my presentation was the most interesting in my opinion. Mine was about Italian-Americans and the media piece we chose was A Bronx Tale. I learned a lot while researching about the stereotypes presented in this film and it helped me come to a deeper understanding about Italian-American culture.

4/27 Prompt: Which factor plays a greater role in shaping your future career choice: your genuine interest and passion for the field, or the financial benefits and stability it can provide? In your response, explain which one you prioritize and why, and consider how this decision might impact your long-term happiness, motivation, and overall quality of life.

 Response: For me passion is the most important aspect. If I am passionate about something, I can make a living off it if I really apply myself. Id rather be broke and happy than rich and sad. I want to be fulfilled in my life, not rich.
