Today in class we went over chapters seven and eight of the book Wild.  We also discussed what the American Dream was and also our personal dreams. We watched two videos where Cheryl Strayed  discussed not letting our dreams get in the way of our life

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.
