Reflection 3/28/22

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.

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 8/23/21

 Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we learned about Rhetorical Situation. I learned a rhetoric means the art of arguing effectively. Rhetorical situation will always be given in the prompt’s introduction. A new word I learned is exigence. Exigence in rhetorical situation, is what motivates the speaker to argue. Speakers/writers that uses rhetoric are called rhetors. 8 themes of rhetorical situations are: exigence, speaker, context, purpose, text, message, audience, and genre. We watched Keysia Lance Bottoms’s speech, Go Home, and broke down the rhetorical situation.

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we read chapter 5 of Thank You For Arguing individually. We were asked to summarize it, give three facts about the chapter, and how we would use it in the real world. This chapter defined the meaning of decorum and gave examples. It explains the importance of decorum and why one should have it. One important fact I took from it is that it doesn’t work for every crowd or person.
