reflection : 8-30-21

Today in class we went in-depth on the topic of claims. There are three types of claims. The first is claim of fact is to argue that something is or isn’t  true. Next is claim of value, this is how something does or doesn’t meet a certain criteria. Last is claim of policy, this is when you make a claim with intent to make a change. Saying that pizza is the best food is an example of claim of value. Arguing that marijuana should be legalized is an example of  claim of policy.

 Today in class we read  a short story that wasn't really short. The was called Rockpile by James Baldwin. We had a discussion  about the story in class. The story was about a hangout for older kids called the rockpile. The rockpile was considered a bad place for younger kids because it was dangerous.  One day Johns brother Roy decided to go to the rockpile even though their mother told them not to. While at the rockpile their was a gang fight and Roy was injured. The father tried to blame John but the mother defended him.
