Today in class, we were reading the same book that we've had since last week. "Thank You for Arguing". We read chapter five by ourselves. After reading the chapter we summarized it, listed five main points of it, and told how we could use it in real life. After this we were given an example from the AP exam. We annotated the prompt and picked our positions.
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.
