Reflection 11/30/21

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.

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 2/7/2022

Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature class we went over Steps to Write a Good Rhetorical Analysis. We went over a College Board Prompt to get prepared for the real thing. It was eulogy by Margaret Thatcher on Ronald Reagan. The steps are to read and analyze, identify rhetorical situations, read the passage, and plan the essay. It looked like Mr.Rease was about to put on a video so I put my head down, I was really tired. I have to go to work at 5 and don't know when I was going to take a nap. I believe I over-napped, I'm not sure what happened in those minutes I missed. I always regret falling asleep in class because I always miss something. But hey, all of my teachers posted today and I have all A's with three AP classes, so I'm pretty happy about that. I think i'm going to start drinking energy drinks.

Reflection 2/16/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we continued the play, Fences. Today I got to read as Troy. It felt kind of funny playing him. I put on my man voice and was always cursing at someone. In th next part of the play, Troy tells Rose that he has gotten another woman pregnant. Rose was very upset and they got into a heated argument. 6 months later we find out Alberta has the baby and she dies after birth. It was a crazy scene. I enjoy reading this play so much.
