Welcome back to Rhetoric Reflection

-

 Today in class we learned about 5 different types of rhetoric. We when over hyperbole which is an exaggerated statement mostly used to get a point across. The next was understatement, which I already use a lot in my every day life. The definition I wrote down had something to do with "less" but I think of it as down playing something. We learned Hypochondria, which is asking something and then answering that question. Then we learned about litotes, which doesn't sound at all how it's spelled. This has to do with emphasizing something using it's opposite. For example for "good" you would say something like "not bad". The last word we went over was antithesis which is like having word be opposite to contrast to another word like "God gives life as God may also take it away." I guess learning about this was entertaining to say the least. I glad we started our class of on a good foot. I use all of these rhetoric in my everyday life so I guess it's good to be able to put a name to a face XD.

Swell reflection

 Today in class we read more of the “Thanks for arguing” book. We also learned new terms like ghastly (insert word here) and slippery slope. Like I’ve said perviously this class is like my “calm after the storm” because my math class is so difficult. My math class is really improving Mr.Rease’s class rating. I like typing notes in this class and I also like the people I was hanging out with in class today as well . Nadia and Kayla are hilarious. (Especially Kayla XD) I had a good class, it got a little shaky when it’s came down to the white stereotypes. Mr. Rease spent like 10mintines explaining how white people wear lotion, like we didn’t all ready know that. Like come on now -_-, we only got to get out one stereotype for that category. All in all class was swell.

No school reflection

Today I didn't come to school today for personal reasons. I really didn't do much at home either. My mother and I went to the beauty supply to get some hair for a style I'm suppose to do on her soon. I was considering doing my hair today for picture day tomorrow but I cut my braids and decided not to. Most of the time when I'm about to change my hair I start to second guess myself then don't do it. That happens especially when I cut my hair. When we got back from the hair store I came home and made some pictures and videos to post on my Instagram. My WiFi hasn't been the best lately so I've been having a little bit of a hard time getting my assignments done. I ended up taking a 3 hour name because I'm WiFi wasn't working to do any work XD. All my cellular data is gone, well 85% of it xD  I really can't caught a break at this house. When I woke up the WiFi STILL WASN'T WORKINGGGG!!! I'm surprised this blog even got done.

A time a knew I was in trouble was when I was in elementary school and I got a red card. In elementary I had blue, green, yellow, orange and red cards in my class room. The whole class started on green and if you were extra good that day you moved up to blue. If you were bad you would gradually move down the line of colors. The worst color was red. I don't remember exactly what I did to get on red but when I got home it did not end well. My teacher wrote that I had a red on my behavior sheet, which our parents had to sign everyday. When my dad saw this he repeating asked, "How did you go from green to red, Natalya?", he gladly got louder the more he asked. I already knew what was coming, and it came. :( (To hear the second part you will need parental supervision)
