Reflection 9/20/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class, I did a bell ringer. In the bell ringer we were asked to define a somebody, a nobody, and who am I. We learned about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was born 1830 and later died 1886 only for her poems to be released after she passed. We read her poem “I’m Nobody! Who Are You?”. Where she explains you’re an outcast for being a nobody, and broadcasted for being a somebody. It gave me more of a perspective mostly about myself. I can make a connection like how I dress for me, but also dress so I don’t get laughed at. I really like the 2 poems we analyzed together so far and can’t wait to do more.

Reflection 2/10/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we made a commercial. In the commercial we compare two competing restaurants, Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. We had to make the commercial using rhetorical strategies. We planned the commercial then acted it out. I think we did a pretty good job executing all the points, I ran out of breath because we did a lot, lol.

Reflection 8/23/21

 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.

Reflection 3/21/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we read chapter 5 of Thank You For Arguing individually. We were asked to summarize it, give three facts about the chapter, and how we would use it in the real world. This chapter defined the meaning of decorum and gave examples. It explains the importance of decorum and why one should have it. One important fact I took from it is that it doesn’t work for every crowd or person.
