5 things I think I should improve in my essay are better analyzing rhetorical devices. I will also try to understand how to pin point rhetorical devices. I will try to write faster in the future.
Today in Mr. Rease's class we spent a good portion of the class debating about Black History Month. This debate was very unexpected but started because Ria said that she felt BHM is unnecessary. It made the whole class go crazy and the debate had gotten very heated at one point. The main assignment was analyzing a poem. I think it was about how black people were losing their history. We analyzed the poem but were not able to finish the lesson. I hope we will continue the same topic tomorrow.
Hey blog today I didn't go to school be cause I had an Infusion. I know Mr. Rease had mentioned that he wasn't gonna be at school so I guess it's fine.
Hey blog today in class we watched movies and Identified the rhetorical devices and how they were used. The movie that stood out the most to me was Fences. It stood out me me because even though he cheated she decided to stick beside him like a clown. It just showed me how men make women so little and to the point where they feel like no matter what that man does they have no choice but to stay. What really set of for me was when Mr. Rease told us that he left his wife for the mistress but the mistress died giving birth (karma) he went back to the wife and she welcomed him with open arms. I personally could never ever take a man back after he pull something like that.
Hey blog today in class we were writing a speech encouraging our peers not to do drugs. In the speech we had to use 5 rhetorical devices and ethos, logos, and pathos. In my speech I talked about how I have had friends who had their priorities mixed up simply because they wanted to do drugs. I think I did pretty well but I will do better next time.
Hey blog today in class we listen to the song "Resist the Temptation by Tupac " . In the song he talks about how you should resist the temptation of doing drugs. He also talked about how drug can mess up your family. In the last part of the song he talked about how drugs can lead to suicide. Class was very entertaining today.
Hey Blog today in class we went over metaphors and analogies. While learning metaphors we broke down the metaphor "life is a basketball game". This led us into the discussion of what would be considered a foul. We also talked about what would be considered a time out.
