christina's blog post 11/14

A time I learned something new about someone that completely changed how I viewed them was when I thought a person in my life was acting distant because they were upset with me, but later I found out they were going through a hard time and didn't know how to talk about it. The new information made me see their behavior in a totally different way and made me feel more understanding instead of hurt. Just like how the ending of the story forces us to reinterpret Emily's actions and realize she was struggling with loneliness and control. Sometimes one new piece of information can shift your entire perspective.

 This is my cultural identity mask. On it, I included things that represent me! It was fun to learn about my other classmates today as well.

A real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship I experienced is one time I asked my friend to go to the boardwalk with me, and she told me she couldn't go. The next day, I saw that she had gone without me with another friend. I'm not going to lie, I did feel a little jealous, but in the end, it was a misunderstanding. She had already had plans to go with someone else and couldn't go with me that day. Today, I learned about a folklore story "The Jealous Father" when a man suspected his son was having a affair with one of his wives due to marks on her body and tried to get rid of him but in the end the son never had an affair and the father tried to get rid of his son over a false lie.  Today, we started a project. My group is responsible for the moral aspect of the story.

 Today in class, we learned about 3 rhetorical devices. The devices we learned were hyperbole, understatement, and litotes. Hyperbole: Today's lesson was so revolutionary, my brain doubled in size! Understatement: We spent a few minutes looking at words today.  Litotes: Learning about rhetorical devices today wasn't exactly a waste of time.
