Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature class we read a short story. When I saw the story I expressed that it isn't a short story. He explained that something that you're able to read in one sitting is a short story. The story was The Rockpile by James Baldwin. Throughout the story we stopped and discussed what is going on. In the story the rock-pile is somewhere where "sinners" would hang. Roy wants to play there whereas John is scared of that place. Their mother doesn't want them playing there. Eventually Roy goes and hurts himself where the father would come home and blames the oldest and the mom. It's a good story, and I've seen this scenario in real life before.
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.
