Today in class we wrote an essay. The essays prompt was a bit lack luster but wasn't my actual complication. Since I wrote it on paper it was much harder to skip through my essays like I usually do. I also write slow. Anyways, I stated off by choosing a position then making 3 claims, which was my thesis. Next, I began to write my first body paragraph. In the body paragraph I started with the claim. I then found evidence and explained my evidence twice. I ended the paragraph with a conclusion sentence. Sadly I didn't make it much farther.
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.
