I think the most important thing to think about with a rhetorical analysis is the background. You have to think about the times the article was written in. Not only the time it was made and the history behind it, you must also think about the writer. When thinking about the writer you have to think if he has gone through this experience. If he has any information or knowledge about the topic. If not he can't be a credible source for any opinions he might say. Another important thing is to consider the wording used to get an impression of how the writer feels.

I think I can learn well in any way as long as the teacher is good at teaching. If I am confused though then I have to ask a question to be able to understand it. The visual effects don't help me at that point. I just see things and I have no idea how they got there or why. Mainly in math, but at the same time I can get confused in Science as well. And if I got confused in Math I honestly wouldn't care enough to figure it out.

At the beginning of the class I thought only look at what is written and take nothing else into consideration. Now I know most of the information you get to write about doesn't even come from the article but the background. Although the background isn't ever specifically given to the reader, you must find it for yourself. It usually tells you around the time it is written, and usually you must know what happened at the time it was written.

The thing I struggled with most on the rhetorical analysis was when I started to try and conclude each paragraph, and every time I did it I feel like it made it sloppy. I think this is because I never have been the best at looking at the end of the paragraph and more worried about how many sentences about the topic I need to write to meet the dead line. I also barely knew what the rhetorical strategies are so I wasn't able to start right away. Even when I did figure out what one of them meant I wasn't able to match the others. I haven't heard of them in a while and the three just being said in another way didn't help me figure it out. The last thing I didn't do well on was writing and restating the thesis. I honestly don't really know why I didn't do so well on that, as in every English class we go over how to write it and good examples, but I just fail at writing the right things when it comes down to it.

Next time writing I will focus more on my thesis and expand more on the paragraphs relating to it. When I get to the paragraphs after the introduction I will quote more directly from the text and talk about how they relate to the topic.

When an article is written the event that have recently happened, just happened, or things that are building up to happen later all matter. The writer can take inspiration to write about those things in the article. It can create bias if the events have already happened and he experienced them. Even if he doesn't take inspiration or create a bias off the events, the events will still affect the way he talks which will reflect on the way he writes. Looking at articles it is important to look at the events around the time it was written to get a general idea of where this writer lives or ha went through. For example if you were to read a writing right after 2001 the writing will be completely different than if the presidential election just passed.

Using Soapstone instead of using the rhetorical triangle you n split the 3 main points in to 6 and be more clear in what the article is about and what the purpose is. Also using the triangle makes it harder for readers to understand the breakdown as using soapstone it is easier to understand when the word before the breakdown is an overview.

In the week the first two week were great until I came back on the Wednesday. When I came back I had somehow missed two projects, reading assignments, paragraphs on topics I don't understand and other worksheets just for busy work. Everything had been gone over in the span of two days and I had to finish it all by the end of the week. Like any smart student I don't like homework and will hold it off while I do it in school overtime. The over extending amount of homework my teachers work together to torture me with I could finish at school. On Thursday I went home from school with 1 more homework assignment I was going to have to finish by Friday. Everything was due the next day so obviously I have to slave all day to finish the homework. Now obviously I procrastinated and took breaks whenever I felt need because I shouldn't have been doing so much homework yesterday anyways. At the end of all the assignment ans tab switches I had to go through I ended up finishing almost all of it at 4 am and finally went to sleep only to have to finish the homework before 4th period and to be tired the whole day.

Depending on the point of view they can contradict each other but usually they are the same person. If they are the same person then the author would be telling their own story while the narrator just puts it out on paper. The narrator which can be used to tell another story could work against what the author is trying to portray. If the speaker is the author then they don't work against each other while they both try to get the story across.

I believe it is easier to make a SOAPSTone for a fictional story. In a fictional story there is a clear speaker or main character with the theme and things like theme are obvious. In fictional you can make up what you want to fit into the parts for SOAPSTone.

I think that me personally would choose logic over the other 3 but emotion in a close second. As of right now my personal reputation is nothing crazy and would make no sense to bring up me being high school in an argument. Emotion makes people want to commit to your reasoning most times unless you make the other person feel more angry. Morality just wouldn't work unless its a specific argument about people in jail or rights in the constitution etc. That being said logic will work for an argument 100% of the time. If you are arguing with someone and they have no idea what they are talking about then they wont be able to make another claim that can swipe away logic. It doesn't rely n if the other person can feel emotion it's just the facts and the facts can't be reasoned with.

Most likely pathos would work the most against me in an argument. This would work the best because credibility i could just ignore and logic I could just act like it's wrong or doesn't make sense.

This week has been a lot easier than the last. I had pretty much no homework the entire week so the days pretty much grazed by. During school I watch a lot of Netflix after I was given my assignment and I started watching The Walking Dead. I got to season 2 episode 4 and so far I don't dislike anybody in the show besides the racist dude from the first episode. Other than that the homework I do have is all due today like all the homework that is assigned and I haven't finished a single on of them so I'm going to have to work super hard today to get it all done. Although I don't like having to work super hard at school, it beats doing it at home 100%. Also I'm not sure if it is already 7 sentences or not so I hope this fixes that problem.

On Friday I was happy to go home and start the extended weekend. After the day was over and I was to tired to stay up and play the game I went to sleep. I woke up and my sinuses started to act up and my throat was sore my nose was runny and my ear hurts. On top of all thought I now have a cough that developed later. So for the weekend and today I'm stuck at home sick and I wasn't able to enjoy any of it. I hope that by the next weekend it will all be gone.

Tone is the author's attitude during the writing. It takes place during the entire passage/ article and can be hard to see. You can find it by looking at big feeling words and combining them all. Without tone the story or article wouldn't have the need for the author in the first place. Without the author showing his attitude there is no need for him to be there as he or she adds nothing to the story. And without having the author there it may be harder to get the reason/ purpose the story was created.

Today was the day I was still stuck at home coughing up a lung from the sinuses as well as a stuffy nose. Now obviously that wasn't it my throat hurt, my head ached, my ear hurt, as well as my eyes could look at any screen for more than 2 seconds without hurting. Due to these effects I stayed home from school and attempted to do the work from home. While doing the work and such which was easy at first I started to get more and more confused by the instructions the teachers would put on the assignment. Due to this I just gave up doing all work while I was stuck at home as I shouldn't have to do it anyway I felt like poop. Now just today I'm working but not working as hard as possible to get the make-up work done because the assignment make no sense and have terrible criteria.

Depending on the picture and the artist yes you can easily see tone in it. If the picture is taken from a camera it may be a lot harder but I do believe you could figure it out if it's from a very passionate photographer. Now if he's passionate and he drew it you can see the tone all throughout the picture. No f the painter or photographer doesn't like his job and that's not the topic of the image than I don't believe the tone will be easily depicted. It happens because of the bias of the artist because he will always have an opinion about what he is doing even if he says he doesn't. With the idea of bias in place you could always really find the toe from what you see that was left by the artist.

An argument in a text is something that is apparent throughout the entire article. It is shown through the idea of what the author is talked about in the article. The author will also be directing the article to a specific article and when using audience you could figure out what he want's to accomplish through them. Other than that some articles will say out directly what their purpose is why come might be a little more hidden. In a argumentative text the author could be talking to one author specifically and telling him that he's wrong could be the purpose the entire time. Or maybe he's just trying to say that his Point of View isn't the one that's wrong.

Doing this one a bit late haven't gotten around to it doing homework from other classes everyday. As well as having to prepare for the test in Mr. Beelers class. Doing the vocab and stuff I've missed from other classes or got way to behind in. Other than that, I've been way to sleepy for this week ever since I stayed up to late trying to complete that vocab. Doing tons of busy work and such like that really annoys me due to I could be doing something productive or learning instead of that.

To be honest I have no idea what you mean by the dress up days. I know that the homecoming week was this week and the hornets is like an enemy of Karns or something. Other than that I'm not going to participate in nothing to do with this week. People today all got up at the beginning of school and took like a million pictures in a million different ways. It's kinda annoying honestly but I couldn't could care. I also noticed 2 hallways that have stuff hanging from the ceiling and other stuff on the walls to participate.

In an article there is always a purpose of creating it an it's non-debatable that you could find it. Although not every article has an argument in it, most of them hide one inside. Both argument and purpose is used by trying to get a point across. By making any type of argumentative essay most of the time your purpose becomes the argument you are creating. Since they become the same they are easily spotted in the purpose of the article. Although they will seem the same they are different, portrayed by the purpose of an argumentative essay is to get the argument across and isn't the exact same as the argument. The argument can always have counter arguments and such things while the purpose of the article is set in stone as what the author had in mind when he was making the article.

My fashion style has and always will be just whatever I see. If the clothes I planned on wearing are actually dirty I'll just grab what I can see. When I'm getting dressed I always am in a rush so I look and the first thing that grasps my eye is what I put on. If it's the weekend I just have on pajama pants and a shirt I didn't wear to school that week. Unless they aren't clean then I just wear whatever again. To summarize my fashion style is none because I don't really care what I wear whenever.

My writing style includes a mix together of a bunch of them. In anything I ever write I use Irony, or I stretch the truth or at least make it seem cooler. Because of that I don;t think I have a specific writing style and it is completely interchangeable with the different tone and mood I wish to portray. Obviously if you are telling a sad story where people die for no reason you wont keep spotting and pointing out the Irony of the situation. You could use imagery or figurative language to make the audience feel sad for them. I think if I was writing something sad the thing that would be most obvious to the reader would be the figurative language I would use to make them feel sad.

Since we spent more than three weeks on the topic I feel that I am most comfortable with figurative language as a writing style.

Also getting this one done late, because I was sick for almost an entire week again. During the time of though I didn't have a bad time as it was just irritating.

I think that euphemisms are almost exclusively used for the purpose eve though I would like to say they weren't. If you look at how we use them it's usually to inform someone of death or something of bad news. Thinking about that how would they not be reserved to help someones feelings. Also however they are good to use and die down the intensity of the situation they can easily just be seen as little lies. When informing of someones death you would never like to say what actually happened so you might tell someone it was peaceful. But the problem is that death is never peaceful and they didn't go peacefully even if they go in their sleep because do we ever know what they were going through in their head at that moment.

Don't really have anything I need to write about today. Although I could talk about how tired I am or how I always am tired and the sleepiness is now piling up on this day. Besides that I have finished all my homework and have two make up assignments that will finish up completely and when I do the grades I have will be fixed.

Yesterday was pretty good I got to watch a lot of the show I started and slept a little in my classes. I got a lot of work done as well so I wont have to do it today. Although I still do have a project I need to do for the week I didn't want to do yesterday. It was a pretty calm day that didn't take much from me so I just got to watch Seinfeld.

I woke up tired and half asleep, legs feeling week like I at least need another hour. When I got ready and went to school it was like I was ready for a week long vacation with hours of papers in my bag. I went through the day just trying to stay awake as if its a horror flick and I'd die if I did.

After Fall Break and I had to go back to school I wasn't happy about it obviously. It meant I would have to actually finish school project before Monday. I hadn't worked on it any over Fall Break just like any other sane person would. Why give HW over a week wee nobody does anything. But when I got into the class he said to just turn it in over the week so I decided I would work on it bit more and polish it up. I fell asleep probably like 8 different times yesterday as well as school bored me out of my mind and I probably got collectively 4 hours of sleep over Fall Break.

I think most of the time that I write longer sentences, but I don't think that they are always super involved. Sometimes when writing I for sure write a bit too much in one sentence and create a run- on. The reasoning behind it isn't on purpose but I just don't think that my thought was finished. I most of the time just let my ideas spew onto the keyboard and cut down on the tings that I don't want there after. I think it might make the readers more confused when they read my writing rather than grasping the idea when they read another.

I prefer first person in texts over reading it all in third person. In third person you get the story by someone looking over the shoulder of the first person. I don't necessarily dislike third person as most movies are third person, but I think for reading you can understand the story better from the first person perspective. First person follows through the eyes of the the main character and lets you know their emotions and what they view of other people. With third person unless the narrator is omniscient than he won't get to know what the character is feeling.

Ever since the introduction of doing a thesis is middle school I never mastered writing out a thesis.

Today was awful I was already late to school because for some reason my ride was late. After I reached school I had to take the vocab quiz which went absolutely terrible. There was way to many words to memorize and many of the words were the exact same. It's almost impossible to memorize them, and I can definitely say I will never be able to remember them. Other than that my homework for the week and I will definitely not take home and finish any homework for the weekend. I mean what is the reason for homework over the weekend half the people don't even do the work of just copy it off of the one kid who actually did it. Why cant the teachers just let us go home and not have to ruin our time?

I can't really tell what the question means like presenting or just telling someone somethings in private, but depending on what it means not very comfortable. Looking at it at first if I were to present just like always I would buckle under pressure. Presenting things in front of a class hasn't been a strong suit of mine after 8th grade. If I were to tell a friend this instead of a group I'm comfortable with that. I actually already did to bounce off y ideas with him.

Jonah Hill was just such a good actor for that type of movie followed by Channing Tatum just made it perfect. The TV shows I watched was Big Mouth which wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as people made it out to be and after that I began watching Bojack Horseman which seems good because the voice actor Will Arnett is really reliable.

I feel way too much like they were the exact same but one just had a difference type o tone. They both tackled the homeless people problem in the world but the second one handled it a little bit better. She gave examples of why they became homeless not of when they are. Giving the homeless people a backstory of how they ended up like that really makes you want to show sympathy for them. The first one giving the examples didn't make you feel the same way. They were short and didn't give really any information, just what they saw on the outside.

Well if you were to open the room to my door at this very moment the first thing you would notice would be the mess of a bed.

I'm unsure more about the introduction of the essay. After I get past the first two paragraphs I begin to struggle as well after I get through the first few paragraphs of information. I feel like they are a little easier than I make them out to be but I always overthink what I should be writing. Concluding can also be a little difficult because it's hard to say something you haven't already said. I honestly haven't done many of the rhetorical analysis before this class and when I got in the class I couldn't even think of anything to write.

Advice I would give to someone new to KHS would be to not worry about school to much live your life while you can. You can only be a kid with no worries for so long till you turn 18 and your life will go down the drain paying taxes that we never learned how to do. Other than that I would say to do your homework at school because then you won't have to do it at home. The work you can't complete procrastinate until the very last second. The tests you believe are going to be hard however make sure to study or else you have no reason to get mad when you get a bad grade on it.

The last time I'd say is probably yesterday. I don;t lie like a lot but I'd say it happens at least once a day. It makes things easier and it never actually hurts anyone. I only lie when it makes sense or would make someone feel better. I honestly still don't care about having lied I know it just would have been worse if I didn't lie. Some do make me feel bad though honestly. Some I know I shouldn't have like it wouldn't have made a difference if I did or didn't.

I think what justifies a lie is very little. I think if it's a little lie and you don't want to hurt the other person then it's not that big of a deal.

My college plans stretch thinner than a piece of paper. I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm older. I don't know what college I'm going to. I don't know how I'm gonna get the money to go. And no idea what to study when I get to college. I do know however that I am going to college. I don't really have a choice. Well not really a choice but the idea of being successful is so closely lined with going to college there's no way i couldn't go.

When writing an argument I honestly don't use that many strategies. I try and make myself seem smarter than I am by using rhetorical questions in most arguments. But I don't really use them when I'm writing too much. I try to use facts and only rarely have my own opinions.

I know nothing about the roaring 20's but I have actually seen the entire remake of the Great Gatsby. I didn't know it was a book or anything I just saw Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie and decided I needed to watch it. It was good the ending was extremely surprising and if the book is exactly like the movie it'll be surprising too. And I'm assuming we're already gonna watch the movie in class but if we aren't we really should. I think it's cool to finally have a face to connect to the people in the books. And that's as far as my knowledge of the subject goes.

I liked learning about the tragic life of FSF. He really didn't have a good life and that more than any author can say. I mean going in the military just to get out and start drinking uncontrollably is as bad as it gets.

I think the most important thing to think about when reading a novel is to think about it if it was real. I mean obviously not if its an obvious fiction novel, but when it's just a story about people I like to think about if this actually happened. Other than that you'd want to be thinking about background knowledge of the time. If you don't you won't know why most of the stuff in the novel is happening.

The job I'm most looking forward to is the Device Detective. If I'm being honest the main reason being I think it'll be a lot easier than the other job and with all the tests and quizzes I've had recently I really need something easier.

ACT is in a few days and I'm honestly not worried at all. I'm hoping I do well because I don't want to have to take it again but if I do bad I'll know I can retake it so it won't really matter. I hear people are worried about it and it's right to be worried about it I just see it as a test though so it isn't a big deal. The only thing is I know when I sit down and they take my phone away, I'll start worrying. I pretty much suck at taking tests it's not that I get super nervous and I'm super worried about it I just can't remember stuff when I try super hard to think about it.

I think setting is the biggest thing when considering a story, and the beginning description is what you see the rest of the story. It's what you imagine when you see them talking, you see their surroundings as what was described earlier. Also it can matter if you've been somewhere like that area so you have a better understanding of what happens in the beginning. Like if they are at the grand canyon and you've been there you might be able to imagine how hot it would be or the wind speed they are having to deal with in the story. While if you haven't you can't imagine those things going on in the background and makes the setting more dead.

I think Nick is about as reliable as anyone else would be. We don't know too much about him but at the same time we don't know much of anything yet, due to the story just now starting. He tells us what is going on with not much backstory, but only because he doesn't even know the backstory.

What stood out the most to me in chapter 1 was the amount of secrecy. I again have seen the movie so it's not going to come as a surprise anything later in the story when it's revealed. However the secrecy does help a lot for the story. It hides characters until it finally reveals after it was being built up. It helps the characters be bigger than they are in reality and works well for how the story plays out.

# data[].attributes.body
The character who stood out the most to me was Nick. This being every time he talks all I can picture is Spider-Man talking. This is only something you'd see from the movie and that's the only thing I can think about.

I don't feel very well today. I'm really not sure why but I don't know if I might leave early or I could try to stick it through. Only problem is if I did leave early I don't even have a house key anymore. I detached it from my car keys one day so I could go back into the house without having to keep starting my car. I left my keys in the ignition went in got the stuff I needed and pretty much left. I locked the door and I thought I still had my key. When I got home at like 12 AM I checked my pockets and it wasn't even there. I looked and looked all day the next day and had no luck.

I think the one that makes me the most nervous is doing rhetorical analysis. I know what I'm doing most of the time but going into it reading the article and thinking of the devices they use, sometimes it'll leave me stumped. other than that I do perfectly fine.

Well if I'm being honest I have no idea what pilgrimage means so I had to look it up. The definition given seems wrong but if it's correct I think I'd mostly want to go to Canada. It also says religious reasoning in the definition but I don't think that's true so I will disregard that I guess. The reason why I'd want to go to Canada however honestly is the snow. It's always cold there besides the summer to me that sounds pretty awesome and the amount of snow they get is absolutely crazy. I have two friends up and they always tell me they get feet of snow on certain days. As well as rub it in as much as they can. Also Canada citizens are just the nicest people ever.

Well at first the title made me think of this show I know of. It has absolutely nothing to do with killing, but then I thought of the movie Kill Bill. they kind of had the same title and so that's what I thought of, but it's about killing and revenge. Not at all what I think this book will be about

# data[].attributes.body
Well the fact that I have seen the movie does ruin it because i remember that happening in some slow-mo filter when I was watching it. However when I was reading it I was still a little confused it was about to happen or not because it took a lot longer than I thought it did. I'm assuming that it was just because it was a movie rather than it being the book. And now that I'm sitting her thinking about it the movie is actually a lot faster paced than the book I fell like that was a directing choice for the movie which I guess makes sense for type of story to tell. A story of mystery and confusion, going super fast and not stopping for important things makes complete sense.

I'd say Tom and Nick are the two who I gained the most insight about in this chapter. Throughout the chapter Nick tells us his mind he talks ambiguously about what he thinks about New York and what he's thinking about the lifestyle the residents live. Tom he just learn how bad of a person he truly is.

While watching me for a day the summary the would deduce would most likely be this guy is boring. I don't do much often. Like once a week I go out on a date but that's pretty much it. Other than that I kind of play the game, do stuff around the house and that's about it. I play with the dogs once in a while or the them for a walk I guess. Or like once in a blue moon me and my friends will go out and do something together but that's pretty rare. I know people wouldn't enjoy the stuff I do on a daily basis but I enjoy it.

The reliability of Nick as a narrator in my opinion is perfectly fine. Most of the time he speaks his mind just fine. He tells us stuff how it is, but at the same time sometimes he doesn't know what's happening.

100% no doubt in my mind most people face internal conflict more often. People may not see it but they have bad thoughts. They care what people think. They worry about what'll happen in their life. Or even something as simple as not being able to make a decision plays into the internal conflict. I know a few people in my life who have gone too far into the internal thoughts, and they never once seemed like they were struggling. When looking at someone believe it or not you see what they want you to see. It's not difficult to hide internal stuff because there's nothing to see, just thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
Being honest internal conflict has affected me the most. I'm not as bad as others, but sometimes I'll beat myself up over me something stupid which is often believe it or not. Although, I do face my own external conflict.

Well he couldn't even do it himself. He was so nervous he had to get Nick to do it for him. Just like how when there was a girl you liked in middle school you'd get your friend to ask her out for you because you were so nervous. And even when you think Gatsby finally got over his nerves he literally jumps out of the window in the pouring rain because he was that nervous. Although the difference in the middle school dates and this one is she actually seemed happy and agreed to be with him even though it didn't last.

# data[].attributes.body
I think pretty much everything lived up to Gatsby's expectations. In his mind the beauty of her was there and the happiness he had wished she would have for him was there too. This could easily be broken however just by one thing Gatsby doesn't want to hear.

Recently I figured out I'm not taking the AP exam and I actually am a little upset about that. The entire semester after the sign-ups I actually thought was taking them so I was so worried. I figured it out and I actually got a little angry. I thought I signed up but I guess not. I don't see the point of me having to take AP classes especially if I'm not taking the exam so I just think it's a little silly. I mean I could just imagine how much less stressed I would have been to figure out I wasn't taking the exams. I didn't stress too much besides the upcoming weeks but I mean come on.

Well honestly no one should be telling the story besides Nick. Although I think it would be interesting however to see the troy from Tom's point of view. I'd only say that because about half way through the story he just acts completely oblivious to whatever is happening with his wife. I mean come on for like an hour your wife was gone with another man. And the fact that he never even found them. I just think he's a little dumb. the ending as well would be interesting to see from Tom's point of view since he's the one who caused it instead of the one who mourns.

if the novel were set today Daisy I don't think would have dealt with Tom's affair. Since she would either divorce him or maybe just never even marry him, Gatsby wouldn't have to compete for her. Also on a side not her hair and her personality would be completely different.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the only fair one so far into the story would be Jordan. She's kind of innocent of the New York lifestyle except for the lying. That kind of makes her a bad character as well so I guess I would say none of them. But Jordan is pretty sweet towards Nick. Daisy would be my favorite by the end maybe if she ended up with Gatsby instead of Tom. But she completely stabs Gatsby in the back I mean that's messed up.

# data[].attributes.body
I like Myrtle the least she's the one who is having an affair on her poor husband with this rich man who's cheating on her at the same time. She shouldn't be able to do that anyways. And not telling Daisy he's cheating on her and just little things lie that ruin her as a character.

One concern with a rhetorical analysis is I always think my brain will completely lock up when I look at the article. I mean every single time we do one I have to look and read the article twice maybe even three times just to read what the point of the article was. Then I have to find the devices. The devices are the hardest part for me sitting there reading and interpreting parts of the article to connect it to a rhetorical device is not the easiest thing to do. It's not like I'm bad at it just not the best, I mean I always come up with something to put down it just takes me a little longer than others.

Well I knew it was going to happen already and when the foreshadowing was being talked about I knew it was about to happen. I wish I could have envisioned it better when I read it but it had been too long since I've seen the movie so I could't see it in my head. But every single time I read anything about Gatsby the only thing I can envision is him form the movie Wolf of Wall Street. It is the funniest thing to picture. Him getting shot in a pool acting like Jordan Belfort is hilarious to imagine.
