Today in class we discussed what it means to be a American and also what America stands for.  I said that America stood for power, opportunity, and independences.  9/11 brought our country together in a time of need.

Today in class we read the first chapter of the book Wild.   So far I really find the book interesting, although it is not a book I would have picked on my own.  We also talked about fate and actions, it was fate for the author to pick up the travel magazine which leads her to write the book.  I enjoyed class today.

Today in class we learned how to eliminate multiple choice answers.  First, find the answer choice that you know is wrong, then find the answer that best fits the context of the story or question.  We also read a story about a soldier and the time he killed someone.

Today we discussed different outcomes of arguments. You succeed in an argument when you persuade your audience and that you win a fight when you dominate  the enemy.  In a argument you have to stimulate your audiences emotions, change its opinion and get it to act. After the lesson we put our skills to use to try to get Mr.Reese to change the temperature of the room, unfortunately we did not succeed.

Today we took a text. It was fairly easy because I remembered all of the skills that were on it.  I think I did a good job on my argument essay, I remembered to use evidence to support my claim.

Today in class we learned the rules for using commas. The most important rule I learned was that you use a comma to separate a series of words. This is a very important rule because it lets the reader know that you are listing different things. Class today was very eventful as usual and I enjoyed it.
