After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.

 Prompt: A specific situation that felt ridiculously foolish was when I almost got kidnapped. I had came home off the school bus and I walked over to my door, it was locked. I had knocked on the door for about 5 minutes and nobody answered. My bus had already passed so I hitchhiked on to a stranger's car to get a ride to my school. Looking back on it I could've easily have been kidnapped that day.

Summary: Today, we worked on analyzing a poem, then we did a blog.

Reflection: I learned more about analyzing poems.
