Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature Class, I did an Essay. The introduction paragraph consist of a hook, the introduction of the topic, and the thesis. In the introduction I used a three point thesis statement. The body paragraph consist the claim, two pieces of evidence, and an explanation for each evidence. My next body paragraph was my counter claim: it consisted a counter claim, two pieces against the counter claim, and two explanation. My last paragraph was the conclusion, in my conclusion I reinstated my thesis.
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.
