Shocking truth

Today we continued to read the color purple and find out a very shocking truth about nettie and celie "father". Apparantly pa isnt their actual pa, their actual pa got lynched by white folks and their mom just went with another man which is pa. This kinda changes the perspective of some of the story.

This play is probably so far my favorite one since it was interesting throughout. I dont want to get started on essays but I know Mr rease is gonna start making us write now that we are done with the book.

Man Responsible

Today in Mr Rease we continued reading the play Fences and we see the aftermath of Troy telling rose he is having a child. Rose accepts the child but says that troy is woman less yet does not say she dosent want to be in a relationship anymore. It is getting kinda complicated between the two but it is getting interesting.

10-17-19 Makeup

Troy jumped the fence

Today in Mr Rease class we continued reading the play Fences and Lemme tell you it got real good. We just found out that Troy got another woman pregnant and he tried to appeal to his wife. There is something many things wrong but the story up to this point got really good. I cant wait to read the rest of it tomorrow.

Essay evaluation

Today in Mr Rease class we went over some of our classmates essay on Macbeth, the essay we had to do for first quarter. After reading some of the poems it made me feel better about mines because a lot of people made mistakes just like me. I need to work on making my essays well written and concise, that is what I'm going to improve on during the second quarter!

Senior

Senior portraits! No class

Auburn

No class we talked to Aubrun today about attending their university.

Troy's judgment

Today in Nr Rease class we continued reading fences and so far we are getting more insight on the character Troy. Troy Decisions are shaping his Character from what he grown up in. He truly believes that the things he say would make his son better because if what he had lived through and it kinda makes him seem inconsiderate but he is reasonable. I cant wait to continue the story, but we have a eqt tomorrow.

Fences

Today in Mr Rease Class we started reading another play. This one is called Fences and si far it had been very interesting with the interactions of each character. The play is flvery funny now but I feel like as we get closer towards the end it's either gonna get deep or sad but I cant wait. Also ready for our eqt on wedsnday.

Understanding

Today in Mr rease class we had discussion on the yellow wallpaper and applied it to a question to where we can write a essay on it if to ever come on the test again. Although I was a little tired I enjoy having the discussion today.

Quiz hopefully minor

Today in Mr rease class we took a oral quiz on the yellow wallpaper. I thought it was easy at first until Mr rease started to get really in detail for the answers. Most people voted for a major grade but after seeing what we all made I just hope he scrawl that quiz.

Kahoot wallpaper

Today class was short due to 10 graders taking a pre act but we did a kahoot on the yellow wallpaper. Getting our facts straight and going over the Story overall.

losing Sanity

The ending to the yellow wallpaper was very interesting. Jane lost her sanity to something that she wanted out of in the first place. The wallpaper symbolizes her as she slowly loses her sanity was a brilliant idea. I believe that other than the wallpaper there was other things that were making her insane. We also were put in groups and we are the BEARS.

Sonnet 29

Today in Mr Reass Class we Analyzed Sonneg 29 with A partner to discuss about it tomorrow. The sonnet was interesting and also a little confusing. We also had to construct a question that can be argued from the sonnet with textual evidence.  Overall it was a chill day.

You are a Bright Light to my heart today!

Today in Mr Rease Class we Had to make our own sonnet like William Shakespeare. Coming up with one was pretty hard considering all the syllables and Unstressed words need to complete one. I had fun creating one though, here is mines.


You are a Bight Lights to my heart Today.
Your Presence that can never fail to Annoy.
You make the sun bright up my Day.
The traits of thee brings me Joy.

Without you here, I can never do my part.
The Queen, Her nectar sweet like honey.
To be without you is like not having a heart.
You buy me more happiness then Money.

A burning desire to stay by your side.
Even death Cannot set us apart.
Anything with you is a thrill ride.
A painted picture, like a work of art.

Your bright light makes my heart shine.
Your love is like a dinner that is Divine.

William Shakespeare

Today in Mr Rease Class we learned about Sonnets and Rhyme schemes, Stressed and unstressed words. It was pretty easy to learn,after that we read Sonnet 18. It was an Enjoyable read and a great discussion.  I think I'm starting to be able to Analyze poems alot better now.

Assessment Re-upload

Today we took an Assessment on the Emily poems and I felt like i didnt do so great. The poems were interesting but the questions it was asking were Baffling. I really hope we go over the test on Tuesday when we come back.


(Originally posted on August 30 but wouldnt upload due to no Connection)

What is your Idea of Success

Today in Mr Rease class, Me and my group presented our poem to the class and had a discussion about the poem. Mr Rease went into the insight of what a person means when they talk about success. People have their own meaning of success and I thought that was interesting. Other than that I enjoyed class today.

Success means alot to those who never win.

Today in Mr rease class we were assigned a poem for each group to Analyze. The poem we got talks about how success is a great feeling to those who never had success.  The poem was a good read and was fairly easy to understand at first read. I enjoyed myself and my group as we get ready to present Tomorrow. 

Silence is Powerful

Today in Mr Rease class we read a poem called I felt a Funeral in my brain. When I first read it, it was a little confusing trying to figure out what was happening in the poem, but once we started a discussion on it it became clear for me. I overall enjoyed the poem and the discussion we had today about the poem and I learned that silence can be very powerful at times driving a human to go Insane.

The Unknown

The Unknown Can be many things That people may wonder or may explore In life. An example of the Unknown is The Future. We dont know what to Expect in the Future but only Hope and dreams. Planning to do things in the future such as Going on a Fate or Places with friends bring Excitement to People, but can be disappointing if Your friends cancel before making You disappointed. Many people dont want to Experience the bad things in the Unknown which makes the Unknown very Scary and Have mixed emotions about it. Such as Graduating and entering a new school meaning you have to make new friends and meet new people all over again.Not knowing what's going to happen in the unknown is a Mixed feeling Experience.
The Unknown can lead to New Feelings, New Experiences,  and New Findings.

Argumentive Question

Meal time is Important because it gives us a Chance to Spend time with our Family and bond. Meal time can get You closer to your Family as to having Your parents and siblings come together and Discuss what's been going on In their lives. Talking with your Family can help you with your problems or even get advice on things that You may need help on. My mom would always Try and Pry into our lives and Asking about How we are and we discuss things that mainly Happens at school or with friends. It's a shame because people nowadays stay on their Own Devices and dont really Discuss or talk during mealtime anymore. When I got to a restaurant with my Auntie she would always make me put up my phone and talk because she Sees value in our Conversations while we are Together eating. Talking with Friends or Family during mealtime is one of the best ways to Communicate and get closer to your Family.

Weekend Blog 2

Didnt really do Much this weekend other than Read Some things and Chillong on social media. Working on a business project and listening to music as always!

Chapter 12 reflection

I feel as though Vivian should break 9ff her relationship with her husband because they do love each other. Even though she is afraid to lose the kids I believe they need to just do it. I also feel for Grant when he cant face emma From The wag Jefferson was acting in the cell. I also wanna know what this Ivy Day story is all about. Overall a good chapter

Chapter 11 reflection

I feel as though in this chapter Jefferson shouldn't be acting the way he does. Pretending to be hog wont vid his case and I feel as though it make him seem immature and as if have given in to what people has called him. This shows that Jefferson thinking isn't one of a man. Hoping that Grant would leave him alone.

Chapter 10 reflection

In this chapter Emma tries to Get grant to talk to Jefferson himself in Hope's to get him to talk and teach him. I feel as though Grant shouldn't feel humiliated for doing this but I can understand how he feels. Emma despite doing this really has no one she can turn to.

Chapter 9

This chapter really makes You feel for Jefferson and the Situation he is in. As the audience feel the reality of Jefferson case as we go and visit Jefferson in Jail. Once they visit him he dosent even want to eat or talk as he says it dosent matter. Just how Gra t was saying it dosent matter if he Changes Jefferson into a man or not. Now that Grant has a good look and met Jefferson and see how he feels. I'm more curious on to how he is going to change him into a man

Chapter 8 Reflection

This Chapter talks about Grant and His time being at the School when he was Young and With an Old friend Name Antoine. I begin to learn about how Your race really Effect how they were living back then. As we begin to learn that Grant and Antoine become self aware how far black People get with Education and that it is gonna be an endless cycle. Part of this makes me feel Bad for Our Community back then But Glad that some people in the world still had hope for Change.

Weekend Blog 1

This weekend all I did was chill and listen to music as I Do on a daily l. Getting ready for other things.

Chapter 7 Reflection

This Chapter Made me Confused on How Dr Morgan was treating the kids. I was Understanding on How they didnt have the resources as white schools but I believe that He should have been more Learning than Critique them. Although they need money I dont suggest that the kids should work even more in the field.

Chapter 6 Reflection

I'm glad to finally see Pichot in this chapter. Im Also glad that they are letting Grant see Jefferson. Although he says he dosent know how he going to turn him into a man I'm curious on how he going to attempt to Change Jefferson.

Chapter 5 Day 3 Reflection

This Chapter made me feel the emotion that Garmt was having while teaching the Kids. He wanted to help these children to not ever be in a Situation like Jefferson But I believe he is doing it in a Very hard way. These are Only kids and I understand he wants them to learn and never get into real trouble but I dont think Beating and Pressuring them alot harder will help the Case. I also think that He should have Apologized to the Cousin of Jefferson. He knew that she was his Cousin but didnt back down and I believe that was very low. I'm interested on What Henri Pichot Wants to speak with Grant about.

Chapter 4 reflection day 2

This chapter had me thinking alot why Jefferson didnt just try to escape. I Understand that he has his reasons for coming back to town. It also makes me feel very sad for him. I also wonder what things Grant us going to teach Jefferson before he die. When Grant says that he himself dont know how to live as one himself.

Chapters 1-3 Day 1

Chapters 1-3 had me thinking how the times are Back then in the 1940s. Jefferson made a stupid decision not to run or try anything I  his Case, Although he was not in the right mind i dont think that they should Make fun and use his race as an Excuse for him to plead not Guilty. I can also understand the feeling of Him wanting to escape from it all, factors like his race, and an unfair trial would also make me want to do it as well. Also from a Males point of view I would be disappointed that these people Called me a hog and not a Man when their people dont even Know who you truly are.That made me Alittle Furious.

I Have a Dream Speech Rhetorical Devices

One of the Rhetorical devices used Mostly in the "I have a Dream" Speech is Repetition. Repetition is the Action of Repeating of Something being written or said. Martin Luther King Jr used this Device To Explain His Reasonings and Put These words in the Listeners Head. This rhetorical device is one of the Strongest devices used in this Speech, An example of him Using repetition is when he said "I Have a Dream" to show that the people shouldn't discouraged and Hope for the Future. He Also Says "Now is the time" a lot to Emphasize that The need for Change is Urgent for Most Black people.

Another Rhetorical Device that MLK Used in the speech is Metaphors. A Metaphor is a Figure a Speech used for an Object or action that is not literal. He uses this when he says "America has given the negro people a bad check,a check which come back marked insufficient funds". He says this do describe that Black people was being treated unfairly, putting them down saying they aren't as good as other Races.He also says "Negros is still Badly Crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of Discrimination". Also suggest that black people were judged for the color of their skins

This Speech also hold the Rhetorical device of Ethos which refers to Ethics. He uses this for
when he states "We hold these truths to be self-evident,that all men are created equal". He states this because he talks about how America's Creed is that every man is made equal, but the black men are treated nothing like other men in the nation would be treated like and he wants the nation to rise and live out the true meaning of that creed. He uses ethos again when he states that "Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's Children. Also stating that God Made everyone equal and that fix this reality for many generations to come.

The things I need to work on is More of doing Papers and Participating more In Class. I Also need to work on Being more Motivated to do my Work. The things i wanna Learn during this semester is how to Analyze poems Better. Breaking More Complex Readings Down, and Understand More Vocabulary also Expand on More Vocabulary as well.
