Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature we had a AP prompt. The prompt was about if comedians should be off limits to jokes. We referred to the situation that occurred last night at the Oscars, where Will Smith got up and slapped Chris Rock in the face and cursed him out because of the joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head. We were given 5 articles where they all said Will Smith had no right to assault Chris Rock. I don't he should have checked him with violence, he could've kept it at words being exchanged. It was the wrong place and time for him to do that for the simple fact this is a white award show where you possibly may receive an award. Will Smith slapping him was completely wrong timing. Chris Rock shouldn't have joked on Jada because they've already been going through enough this past year in the media.
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.
