Today in class we analyzed a song called Resist Temptation by Tupac. We found any rhetorical devices that were used in the song. In the song we saw antithesis. We saw this when the song stated, " What you thought would be heaven, turns out to be hell". He also used rhetorical questions. This is when he stated, "But is this my destiny?", implying that it wasn't. Today's class was fun.
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.
