This cartoon criticizes Donald Trump for using foreign wars to distract people from what is happening in the United States. The image suggests that while everyone is looking at the conflict between Iran and Israel, the government is passing a "Big Beautiful Bill" that hurts the country, which is shown by the crushed Uncle Sam. The cartoonist wants the audience to question if they are being tricked into ignoring domestic problems, like immigration enforcement and budget cuts. Overall, it asks the viewer to reconsider whether the news they are being told to watch is just a cover for more harmful laws.

 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.
