Prompt: After two weeks of studying rhetorical devices, types of rhetoric, and methods for identifying rhetorical techniques, which rhetorical device do you find most effective or compelling, and why?

       After studying for weeks, the Rhetorical Device that I like to use as the most effective is litotes. I think this device is the most effective for me because I like the way its used and how sarcastic it is. Like if I were to talk about something or say that I don't like something I could just use litotes to make it sound better.

Summary: In class we took the rhetorical devices test.

Reflection: I did well on my test and finished my blog post.

Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

        An object that carries my story is my journal. Every day I write in my journal each day in different pages. Each page everyday is a new story and chapter. Every time I write it brings a connection towards my life and each detail every day. My journal is meaningful to me because I could be scrap-booking in it and drawing not just writing. My whole life is in there every day. The days in my life everyday hold a story in my journal that opens to new pages and new things. I carry it everywhere towards new destinations of my journey.  Summary: In class today we read about a myth called the Navajo Creation where it talks about an object turning into 4 different places where humans find a right way to live and harvest. Reflection: What I took away from this story is that you don't take things for granted but once a door closes another door opens.

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

      A time that I have felt connected to nature would be when animals would be killed for peoples needs or pollution. The universe these days have a huge amount of population around the world. Trash and other resources are being polluted and this affects animals that eat it or the plants that grow. Animals are also being killed for peoples needs which is a sad way of how nature works. I feel very sad and sorrowful for this problem around the world. Native Americans have lived through years and years of a connection through nature and the history of beliefs. Summary : In class today I learned about Native Americans oral literature and the differences between Myths, Religion, and Urban Legends.  Reflection: What I took from today's class would be to understand how Native Americans differ from their history of literature and different types of mythological literature.

Prompt: As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

 As I get older and face new things, I think the thing I will most worry about is growing up. The process of growing up takes a long time from when you are young. Getting to know and understand new things may be challenging. Like not knowing how money works in the real world, or having to have money for everything in life that you are going to do. Like food, a home, your job, and a car. All those apply to money and how you will get it. Part of the adult process is including all those things. Then you have to start a family and take care of that, now for me I still feel young and that process will take a lot and getting used to it.  Summary: Today In class our teacher went over presentations about the 3 literary forms of writing. He then talked about the beginnings of how to start an essay. Reflection: Today in class I worked on examples and started to understand how the 3 claims work.
