Today In Mr.Rease's American Literature class we went over Martin Luther King Jr "I Have A Dream" speech. While reading and listening to the speech we found different rhetorical devices. There were many different rhetorical devices. The first one we pointed out was a hyperbole. Then we identified an allusion that was talking about Abraham Lincoln. After writing like 5 rhetorical devices I feel asleep by accident. It is so interesting to see how much rhetoric is used.
Today in Mr.Rease’s 4th period American Literature class we learned about informal and formal texts. In class he gave us a passage with no context, we just read it. After we read it we all realized that there wasn’t really any theme or moral of the story. He then gave us a topic, which half of the class had already figured out midway through the passage. That was interesting to me because I didn’t get it until the prompt, which says a lot about myself. It was pretty fun breaking down the passage with the 2 different prompts. I’m glad I had a little nice time in 4th period today.
