I decided to do the activity called "Put It on a Table." The first object I chose to do this with is one of my hats. When I look at it the first thing I think of is my girlfriend Jazminne. It was the first gift she ever gave me. It was just before Christmas in 9th grade and it was only the 1st or 2nd time we had gone out anywhere. Its the most comfortable hat ever. Its got a band around the inside that is really soft and not itchy like a lot of hats. It doesn't really have a smell or make a sound so i can't say anything about that... I think Kansas said it best when he called it "bad ass". If i think about it there's nothing I don't like about it. I can see some connections between my feelings about it and my sensory clues. I would automatically like it because i got it from Jazminne. But I cannot stand to wear uncomfortable things so it is a really good thing that its comfortable. I like the way it looks and I really try not to wear things I don't like.
I tried this with another object. One I didn't think I would have any emotional connection to. The book our summer assignment is based on. A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink. But when I looked at it and really thought about it, I was fill with emotions. None of them happy ones. I felt angry that I had to spend my summer doing summer work. (Not just for English) I became frustrated because I didn't like the book. It started good but then just got progressively worse. I just felt like summer work, despite what the wiki says, is meant to ruin our summer by making us stress about remembering due dates and writing long blog posts or essays.
I REALLY dislike this book...
This is a really bad picture of it, but this is my hat.
