Today in class we analyzed an eulogy. The eulogy was written by Margaret Thatcher. We also discussed the format of the rhetorical analysis essay. I was really taken aback by the fact that we only have 7-10 minutes to analyze and plan the essay out. I’ll have to practice very hard to be successful. Todays class wasn’t very energetic, but it was still informative.
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.
