Today we read a Langston Hughes poem. The poem compared blacked lives to rivers. I enjoyed the poem mainly because, the poem seemed to touch me personally. Also, we learned about Mr.Rease's family tree.
Today we were separated into groups, and we were suppose to figure out why the answer we chose was correct. It was fun but helpful at the same time. It helped me to analyze the questions and answer better, so that I will be able to choose the correct for other test.
We continued yesterday's discussion today. We watched a few videos of famous people who came from nothing and made it big. One video was about Jim Carrey wrote himself a 10 million dollar check for himself, and was certain that he would be able to cash it one day. The second was how Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, failed at football and had 7 dollars to his name, but he used that failure to motivate his future success. He went as far as to be the number 1 wrestler in WWE. He quit as number to persue a career in hollywood. He doubted his decision of quitting while he was ahead, but he was certain, he was going to make it big. This ultimately motivated me to push for my goal no matter what.
Today was an interesting day. We learned about arguing and fighting. In an argument, you win by persuading the audience. In a fight, you win by physical blows. We read a few stories, and they where quite funny. One was about trying to get out of a ticket. Another was about trying to persuade a lover. I enjoyed them both and the lesson for today
