Journal Entry 1: Broken Chain

Looks vs. Mood

So I read this story Broken Chain. It starts off with the guy, Alfonso, feeling pretty trashy about school. He keeps remembering getting in trouble, like when that “Big Foot Baker” guy stepped on his sneakers. He just felt out of place. But then he starts thinking about next year. The part that stuck with me is how obsessed he was with his outfit. He didn’t just put on clothes; he was ironing his brother’s old jeans and hunting for clean white tees. He needed it to be perfect. At the end, when he checks the mirror, he’s finally happy with himself. It’s weird how just fixing your look can kinda fix your mood. Like, even if yesterday sucked, a fresh outfit makes you feel ready.
