Today I was not able to attend class.

My Story

Today in class we learned the steps to creating a story. We learned that you first have to think of a character but not just their name but their history. You have to think about their future, the plot, the conflict, and all things in between. To make a good story you have to make your character relatable or likeable. The character can’t be one sided or the reader will not continue to read your story. You also have to remember that everyone has a different opinion on what is a good story so you have to take in the opinions and create something for everyone.

Today in class w talked about our roots. We learned the difference between race, nationality, and ethnicity. We also read a poem by Langston Hughes called “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”.

Reflecting on Today

Today in class we learned about what it means to take a true multiple choice test. Taking a multiple choice test isn’t as easy as it seems. You must make sure to eliminate the worst answers to be left with the correct choice. This is called process of elimination. We also learned from reading a short shutout in class called “Ambush” by Tim O’Brien that you can dwell on your decisions in the past but you can never change them. In the story he killed a man, who to him wasn’t his enemy, who was the enemy. He was faced with regret and ever since that day he has always replayed that image in his head. He was also nervous to tell his you g daughter that he had killed someone fearing how she would view him if she was to find out.

Arguments Blog 1

Today in class we learned about a topic that everyone knows, arguments. Arguments are used everyday whether we notice or not. Most arguments are usually persuasive and people use this kind to persuade the opponent. Everything is an argument. From leaf color to best rapper. Arguments usually consist of opinions and facts together. It’s best to try and not over argue an opponent if trying to persuade them to do something beneficial for you. Such as if you are pulled over, you wouldn’t argue with the police because you want to get out of the ticket so you gently talk to the police and also make them feel there point is correct to get what you want.
