What I learned on February 1, 2021

What I learned 
 February 1, 2021 

     The start of February initiates the start of black history month. Today we went over a poem by Langston Hughes that is called "The Negro Speaks of Rivers". I learned from the poem many forms of rhetoric that was used to bring his writings to life. For example when he used similes ,'' My soul has grown deep like the rivers.'' Another example of rhetoric is when he use personification ,''I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans''. Lastly what I took from todays lesson was the importance on who our history shapes and affects  us till this day.

Reflection May 20,2021 ( 5 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT)

Today was a nice somewhat awkward day for me ,but neither the less quite funny. We didn’t have a bell ringer today and we started to talk about the AP LANG test. Honestly a few flashbacks came into mind and I started to think about what I wrote and I could remember majority of things , surprisingly. After that we had to get started on our final exam project. I kinda embarrassed myself a little since for some reason I couldn’t say repetitiveness, but it made laugh so it was good. Mr. Rease is honestly such a good teacher and especially for the short time we had him and for being a online class, I might have to write a speech for him.

I believe the former student of Mr.Rease was called Luis and I went to go check out his b...

Today was honestly a pretty good day and for some reason it doesn’t feel like Monday to me. Today we basically started talking about our career paths and what we want to do. For me I said international Econ and pre law. I always felt passionate about these routs since its connected to my daily life. I’ve only changed my career choice twice and that’s when I wanted to be a nurse or oncologist, but I get overall emotional and cry very easily when it comes to heavy hearted situations and I do feel passionate about the job and how it can help others. The other choice I had was law and international Econ which is a great fit for me since it’s still helping people ,but in a different way, when it comes to law it just find it fascinating and I truly enjoy talking and debating about it. Since I was the daughter of immigrant parents immigration and politics has been in my life every since I could comprehend, since I was a little girl and could translate I would help my parents with papers and o...

 This Friday we learned about the topic of humor and how certain comedians humor has an affect on this generation. Comedians like Kevin Hart  have been seen as offensive for making derogatory statements towards certain groups of people. Today we took a stand point on whether this was acceptable or not. While taking our position on the argument we learned how to make claims and how to explain it. Lastly I learned how to deafened my claim and provide evidence.
