AMERICAN LITERATURE

We talk about many things in my English class. My teacher made us learn about so many things we don't think about or we get taught in other English classes. You know we all have to take English. american literature, but have you thought of what it meant. Why it's called American literature? Do you guys have an idea of what american or literature means? I never really thought of it. To me, I thought american is just someone that was born in America. Literature to me, was just learning about the way of writing.Today we told the told what it meant to us. We didn't know. He told us to search what it meant. Here is what I got from searching literature.

Literature- written  works, especially those considered of superior or last artistic merit

For american, I did't really know because their was many different definitions. Afterwards, we told the teacher what we found for american literature. All of us got different definitions, here are some. Most of us,  didn't have a definition for american. So he told us what it meant. He says it's something you adopt, it's not because you were born in america.

Literature
-writing (narrative stories /meaning)
-written works
-poetry/ journalism / advice
-art of writing
-last artistic merit

American
-adopted

WHAT'S IN MY BIG QUESTION FOR ME

In my English class, we were told to prepare a question that always comes up, in your mind. A question that you want to know the answer to. I really started to think, really hard about the questions that I had. It was hard to decide, which one I wanted to talk about. In the end, I went with, why are people so insecure about their selves? I thought of this question because I am insecure about myself. I want to know why some people care about others peoples' opinion? Why we must try so hard to make ourselves prefect? I want to be more confident in myself. I want to know a way that can put me, on that path.

BEHIND THE IGNITE TALKS

 In my perverse post, I talked about the big questions, that got my attention. We each told our class about a question that always came to mind. I asked them why they thought of that question. Here is what they said. The reason he asked what's inside the the black hole is because he was afraid the earth might fall into one. Soledad said, that she is against abortions that why she is curious why we let women have abortions. I was so surprised she was against abortions and about the earth falling into a black hole.I wonder why others thought when they were asking their big questions.

I'M IGNITED

Today, in my English class, we talked about questions that always come to mind. We each said our question. There were so many that caught my attention. These are two, what is inside a black hole?Why do some women decide to get abortion. I curious why they thought of that. Mostly about abortions. It's crazy how we think about so many different things. Here are some others, Will viruses and war bring the world to an end? Why do care about people’s genders instead of just letting them be who they are?Why do some police officers take advantage of their power? Why do people change when they get what they want? Tell me, your thoughts. What do you think about these questions or what do you about daily?

HOPEPUNK

In my English class, we talk about the most random things but those things are actually important. Today, we had to do research on Hopepunk. I found out it was a genre and it has so much meaning behind it.

Hopepunk-it's narrative motivation in the idea of optimism-embodied in acts of love, kindness, and respect for one another-as resistance

It's used in a way to want to change things. They want a change so they resist and fight. This is way they use this genre and the way the author wanted them to use it as.

LAST CENTURY'S WRITING STYLES

In the last century before there was many different ways of  writings. The one that was used  the most was the of  character of naturalism.

Naturalism-are sacrificed to unjust system in society and economic

Realism- documenting

Modernism- everything is broken

liminal-a way of writing you try but doesn't work for you

genre- a category

ARGUE THIS

Today, in my English class we talked about, what is a syllogism? It means the simplest form of logical argument.  Validity is the truth. The premise is not true. When it's true is when you have enough evidence to support your reasoning. Just like math when you can play around with numbers but have to have enough evidence to support the way you solved, works. I always think of many things that always comes to mind. I am pretty sure all of have something we thinking all the time. The question that comes to mind is why are we so insecure about our selves? We all know that we each a flaw and no one has the time to actually pay attention to you. I am saying they are to caught in their own insecurities.
