Today in class we learned about the 3 different elements that compose an argument. We also learned about the Rhetoric triangle which includes Pathos (evidence designed to stir emotions), Logos ( evidence based on truths and facts), and ethos( the credibility of the speaker. I will take this lesson and use it when in an argument or writing an argumentative essay. I had a good day and enjoyed the lesson.

      Today in class we learned a useful brainstorming idea to make finding talking points for essays easier. We simply pick out our main topic and find sub-topics within that topic to branch out from. From there we use the sub-topics to find even more things to write about. This method is really useful for planning out essays. I will use this method in the future to help write my own essays. I learned a useful thing in class that I will make sure to utilize in the future.

Something I have too much of

           I have too much free time. I often have nothing to do most days. I don't go out nearly as much as I used to and I no longer work. I've applied to a few jobs but so far I haven't gotten a response. I could be doing my school work but I have a hard time focusing at home so I usually just sleep.

None of my middle school friends know what happened to him but I hope he's doing well.
