English 1302 Week 3

This week in english class I learned more about Alexander Hamilton through modern music styles, such as hip hop, or rap. One of the more interesting rhetoric pieces I found in the music was in the song Stay Alive. It was talking about when Hamilton’s son Philip got shot and was in the hospital and Hamilton and Eliza came to see if he was okay. They began to talk about good memories from the past to kind of pass time as he was slowly dying. It was a sad piece of music, but it was one of the better pieces in my opinion.

This week I used a rhetoric method this week when me and my fellow baseball teammates were talking about the best way to execute a play at practice. I was trying to convince them that the best way to make the specific play work that we were talking about was to do it my way. It turned into an argument as we were each trying to convince each other that our personal ways of being successful would be best for all of us, since we all play the same position.
