Reflection 8/25/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we talked about, crises rhetoric. In crisis rhetoric there’s urgency, crisis as reality, dramatic characters, policy as morality, and  rhetorically generative. We listened to Donald Trump’s speech about immigration crisis. We broke down the different components like, dramatic characters. In dramatic characters there’s “good vs bad” it depends on how you look at it on who’s good and bad. To most Americans the bad were the immigrants and the good were us. I kind of got the lesson I have to do the homework to really break it down.

Reflection 8/16/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s class we were asked what was the most important moment in Black History. I wrote about the Harlem Renascence, so when I seen a poem by Langston Hughs I got excited because I kind of called the lesson. We broke down his Poem “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”. This Poem was a little easier to break down saying there weren’t as many complex words. I had an pretty simple time in class.

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we did a diagnostics test. He taught us the process of elimination. In a multiple choice question there are three types of answers. There are 2 completely wrong answers, a somewhat correct answer, and the best answer. To differentiate the wrong ones you have to see what least correlates with the question. The best one is usually stated word for word in the passage and correlates best with the question. The lesson was pretty informative, I just wish some of my classmates weren’t so incompetent.

 Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we learned about Rhetorical Situation. I learned a rhetoric means the art of arguing effectively. Rhetorical situation will always be given in the prompt’s introduction. A new word I learned is exigence. Exigence in rhetorical situation, is what motivates the speaker to argue. Speakers/writers that uses rhetoric are called rhetors. 8 themes of rhetorical situations are: exigence, speaker, context, purpose, text, message, audience, and genre. We watched Keysia Lance Bottoms’s speech, Go Home, and broke down the rhetorical situation.
