 The poem "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" is poem about how everyone was to be somebody and how being a nobody is better. Due to the fact that the majority of people would like to be known as somebody. If you're nobody you're one of a kind. The main theme is self-identity and all that goes with it.

 What I learned today was how to use pros and cons about a certain topic. My topic was about why wigs and hair weave creepy. I had to say why it´s creepy and why it ´ s not creepy. Then the composition had to mix the pros and cons together to an agreement. 

 What I did today was an assignment on gun violence and why it's a problem in Atlanta. I had to write about how to possibly stop the gun violence against teens. I said we can stop gun violence by having police officers portal the streets more and have activities happening inside and outside of school. I had to have Evidence to back up my claim and than I had to explain the evidence.

 What I learned on today was new vocabulary words. The words I learned was Beguile, Besmirch, Bestial, and Badinage.  I used this words words by importing them into sentences to make it make sense. Badinage to be playful or to be teasing. Besmirch means to stain or to get something dirty. 

 What we learned about was Logos, Ethos, Pathos. Logos means to to appeal to the audiences' sense of reason or logic, Ethos is a rhetorical or written technique that appeals to an audience or reader's ethics. Pathos is the appeal to emotion, means to persuade an audience by purposely evoking certain emotions to make them feel the way the author wants them to feel.

 We learned that an argument is a statement of opinion backed up by evidence. This is an argument composed of three distinct components: the speaker, the purpose, and the reason. A rhetorical triangle consists of Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. A claim is an opinion and a topic. A claim can be a claim of fact, a claim of value, or a claim of policy

 Today, we practiced using vocabulary words in two sentences. As a means of understanding the word. After that, I wrote a five paragraph essay using five of the vocabulary words. It helped me make a short story and I learned how to properly use big words.
