Reflection 1/18/22

Today in Mr.Rease American Literature Class we went over more rhetorical devices. First we went over metaphors. Mr.Rease showed us a metaphor "Life is a basketball game". We broke that metaphor down by comparing these two very opposite things. Saying good breaks are like timeouts and bad things you do are fouls. Then we had to make our own metaphors, positive ones and negatives. Then we started on analogies but couldn't get into it because we spent so long on metaphors. I had a good time in class today, I really like this class.

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 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.
