Reflection 1/10/22

 Today in Mr.Rease class went over rhetorical devices. We went over 5 and already knew 2 of them. I knew what a hyperbole was and I knew what an understatement was. I learned three new rhetorical devices. The first new device I learned was litotes. Litotes Emphasizes its point by using a word opposite to the condition. Then I learned antithesis, antithesis makes use of a contrast in language to bring out a contrast in ideas. And the last one is hypophora, which is where the author asks a question then proceeds to answer it.

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.
