Stereotypes

         From a class assessment that I did today, it made me think a lot about the different stereotypes we have today. It's very common and well-known that girls associate with beauty, soft things, and girly colors along with the thought that boys associate with being rough, gross stuff, and boyish colors. But in today's society, wouldn't it be better if there were more gender-neutral stuff? That would give kids their own imagination to discover what they like instead of being forced these girly or boyish things, because they were born that specific gender. Today many people are truly discovering themselves and identifying as he/she/they, but it's not society's "normal" because we're all put in this mindset at a young age that girls should stay girls and boys should stay boys. 

    I'm all about being outside the box and trying different things. It's not a bad thing to have changes and we shouldn't be stuck to old norms, because of these stereotypes that people have come up with to define other people. I just wish that it's more acceptable to be different and be like everyone else.

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.
