Today in class we talked about rhetorical devices. There was a whole list of of rhetorical."Today's class was as slow as a snail". For example, this simile about my opinion on today. It's exaggerating that today's class was as slow as a snail's pace. Then after that, we read a letter from a famous man with the first 30 minute news broadcast. He talked about how that man named "......" made some broadcasts from football and memorized 30 to 40 player's names, their age, what position, what number, and their characteristics. It took them about 3 to 4 days cramming all of this info down.
The next story was about a boy with a disease at age 7. His mom asked what he wanted to be when he grew up and the boy said a fireman. His mom called the fire department and asked if they could come over. The fireman told them that they could do better and so they would come on Wednesday to visit the boy and go on all the calls. The boy was filled with joy. After all the excitement that happened, he lived 3 months longer than anyone expected. On his last day, the boy was weak and tired. The nurse called the family and the fire department for them to come. The department said that they could do better than that and brought so many more than just one fireman. They brought I think 15 and hugged him and told how much they loved him. The boy closed his eye for the last time.
After that, we did a speech by Ronald Regan after the Challenger explosion. Carl said it was fantastic, but I messed up so many times. For some random reason and thought of another rhetorical device to use and it was an analogy. I think it was "bird is to fly as dog is to pant." That was the only one I thought of. I couldn't think of anything else. In all, today's class was pretty good except for Blair stealing the last piece of bakery food without asking.
