Today's class was very interesting. To start off we revisited our topic from yesterday or December 18th. Which was all about our essays from December 13th, where we had limited time to make an essay about three act structure and its correlation to both Ready Player One and Back to The Future. Yesterday's class allowed to revise said essays and look for any specific sections (from the rubric) we could improve on. As well as discussing the positive to negative scale about the essay. Shortly afterwards the fire alarm abruptly went off, ruining the flow of our learning. Mr. Rivers went on to discuss his distaste for the alarms while we promptly moved outside the building. About five minutes later we returned to our seats and started the new portion of our lesson.
Today's discussion was mainly about Figurative language, but to understand figurative language you kneed to understand literal language. Mr Rivers said something along the lines of literal language meaning exactly what it is and not up to interpretation and the example of that would be something like the date. While figurative language is on the other end of the spectrum. It is meant to be interpreted sometimes in more ways than one. Which segued the class into the clip with D'Angelo and the chess board. D'Angelo used figurative language in more ways than one representing certain pieces of the chess board with key roles to their drug operation.
The class had multiple segments today. Mainly due to the fire alarm splitting them apart. Although it still has meaning to the world at large. Figurative language is used everyday in the business world. From saying our stocks have gone down the drain to having a chess piece represents a drug lord. It is important to be able to distinguish the meaning of both figurative and literal language. As well as always revising your work, revision allows for more improvements in general and in specific targeted sections.
