 Today in american literature, Ms. Cook taught us a lesson. The lesson was an interesting lesson. The question of the day was: Is killing someone in the military justifiable? My answer to this question was no at first because killing someone is never justifiable. As the class went on my answer changed from no to yes. We read a passage named “Ambush”. The reason why I changed my answer was because when you’re in a life or death situation, you don’t really have time to think. Today’s class was interesting.

 Today my teacher was not here. We had work to do that was left for us. We had to read a passage and answer questions corresponding to the passage. This task was simple and kind of boring. After we finished the assignment, we didn’t have anything else to do so we sat there until it was time to go. Today’s class was boring.

Mr. Rease should let us have free time for the rest of the block. I say this because it’s the end of the week. At the end of the week people want to sit down and relax. Another reason we should have the remainder of the block off is because we have other classes that stress us out. We do not need stress on top of stress. Stressing could lead to difficulty doing tasks that should come easy.

 Today in class, we did a bell ringer on our pledge to our African American culture. After that, we read a Maya Angelou poem called “The Black Family Pledge”. Then, we went over our black history project. I feel good about class today. I found today’s class better than the rest. Today was great.

 Today in class, we presented our one pagers in front of the class. I didn’t like presenting, because it’s scary. I think everyone else’s one pager was better than mine. My one pager was plain and boring, but everyone else’s was detailed and fun. Today’s class was interesting.
