Today in class we discussed rhetoric, hyperbole, understatement, litotes, antithesis & Hypophora. Rhetoric is a tool that enhances composition. It’s purpose is to persuade, inform and express a personal thought. Hyperbole is an exaggeration which there are 3 different types of. An understatement is a descriptive statement that is less than one would expect. For example, Cedar grove football team is horrible. Today was also the first day back since being on break and I like my 3rd block but I might change my 2nd block. Other than that today was a very basic day

I didn’t hate the sport but I didn’t like it either. Especially the long training days! Playing basketball for that short amount of time helped me realize I’m a girly girl and I do not do sports unless it’s cheerleading. Even though I didn’t like playing basketball I was still somewhat good at it because if I was playing I at least needed to be decent at the sport. But now, I can’t shoot a free-throw to save my life but all that matters is I made my mom happy.

 Today during 4th period I got checked out, but before getting checked out we started reading the pledge written by Maya Angelou who is a famous African American poet who is also famous for acting. I didn’t get to read much because I got checked out at the beginning of class but first, second, and third period wasn’t so bad. My first period teacher hasn’t been here because of an family emergency so we’ve been chilling in another teachers class. Second period I have rotc which was fun because we got back our uniforms. And I like third period even though it’s chemistry because we do a lot of hands on activities that makes the classroom more interesting.
