Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature we analyzed a Maya Angelou poem. The Black Family Pledge goes over how African Americans does not pass down their knowledge. Because our traditions aren't passed down we are uneducated and at the bottom of the "food chain". I've read some of Maya Angelou's poems and they are amazing. I'm glad Mr.Rease didn't just start making us read black poets, and we have been all school year.
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.
