2+2=5 (short film)

     A lesson that stuck with me today the most was from a short film watched in the beginning of class. It was where this teacher was teaching his students that 2+2=5. Obviously we all know that 2+2 does not equal 5 but in this case whatever the teacher says, it's going to be right. A student spoke out against it saying the correct answer is 2+2=4 and the teacher wasn't happy about it. So he brought is the top students within the school to tell the boy that 2+2=5 but the boy wasn't giving in. To me that boy was the only one to truly stick his ground and not back down from the teacher, others were scared and didn't want speak out against the teacher. It's like the superior vs. the inferior.

    What I got from this is that just because someone tells you what they said is right, doesn't mean it's always going to be right. It's okay to speak up and correct them. There's really no reason to be afraid. Also today is my birthday :).

5/17

      Took my math exam today, wasn't great compared to the last exams I took. Wasn't very happy about it, but once I leave the testing site and see we have a whole project and presentation we have to do for our final. Not very happy about that either. It's only this class that we don't have a break after the exam. My other teachers are nice and understanding(not saying my ap lit teacher isn't) just giving us fun things to do and simple finals. Not a whole presentations. Yeah yeah we're still in school for 2 more weeks, so we still have to do work, but I thought we were going to do fun simple assignments. It sucks, but if it's the ticket to summer vacation then I'm going to get it done.

Reflection 3/19

    I'm glad there wasn't much for us to do today. Plus it's Friday, it's the end of the week and at that point I'm just ready to get out of school. My only problem with today is the direction explaining. At first it was explained one way, but when we do it wrong there's a problem. Should've been made clear the first time, we're all not mind readers. Especially when some of us are doing school virtually.

Rhetoric of Place

      I learned in class that there are 4 different things that define rhetoric of place.1.) The place of then symbolizes something. 2.) The place often has a history. 3.) The place communicates something. 4.) It is often a place that can stand om its own. You can use these 4 steps for practically anything. Today was shorter than others because it's Friday and I had such a stressful week. I hope next week is easier.
