Tragic Story

 An incident where something tragic occurred for me was this past week when my brother hurt his knee during practice. I was at practice as well so I didn’t find out about the news right away. Freshman/Jv were practicing on the practice field as Varsity practiced on the game field. He hurt his leg during a drill and what he told me was that his knee felt weak  that it couldn’t support his weight. He immediately fell down and needed help, coaches attended him as soon as they could’ve. They asked him what was wrong and he explained, they then rushed him to the training room where he got treatment with the AT. When I got home later that night I found out about the news and I was shocked. I talked with him and we were praying that it wouldn’t be too bad, that he would be able to return as soon as 3 weeks. Hoping he would have a speed recovery. The next morning he couldn’t move around very good and struggled to get up from the bed, get around, or bath. He couldn’t go to school so...

Big Question

         The Big Question I have is how to become an Architect I suppose. I feel as if it interests me enough to go to college as I put in all those years to accomplish that goal. I’ve done some research about how to become one and what I’ve learned about an architect is a  person who plans, designs, and reviews the construction of buildings. It seems as if the work is complicated as you need to be really precise, focused.  To practice architecture means to provide services in connection with the design of building and its minimum pay is around $76,000 a year.  Students can enroll in a 5-year Bachelor act of Architecture program. I’m planning to do more research over the weekend so I can learn about this profession more.

Tone of the author

       The tone of the author is the attitude toward characters, subject, or the audience. Say the author was writing this book 75 years ago, the mood he had toward the book on how the characters were, how it took place, where it took place, or why this happened etc. this all depended on how he felt or what he was thinking. This being his mood which caused him to express his tone in whatever way he felt like writing about, and using the specific words to give off the vibe of the book. Today in class my classmate Pablo was called on to describe tone. He described tone pretty good, he was on the right track and knew what he was saying. Compared to Cynthia’s description of tone it was not as good you can say as she described it as it being a diction. Dr. Preston said his hers was a lot better, but I still think Pablo’s was okay. It was uncommon because it’s rare you here a word like that around your peers.

The making of a satire

     Making a satire was pretty interesting because you had the chance to speak on something that’s made fun of a lot, how there can be a change for the better. My Satire was about Donald Trump, the president of the United States. Many people don’t like him due to his racist comments etc. I chose to do my satire on him  because this is one of the things that is made fun of in the real world a lot. I believe if there were to be a change it would make a good difference. I felt like this would’ve been one of the more popular topics to do your satire on because many can relate on that they think Donald Trump isn’t a good president. Therefore you can compare/reflect with others on their satire.
