This week in English class, I and my group for the Tempest project conversed and swapped ideas so our project could be at its best. We all were given parts and we each did our specific parts accordingly to plan. I also began writing my paper to and elected official about a crisis in the U.S. and completed it.
This week I used a rhetoric method when talking to my brother about whether or not to interrupt me while I play Xbox. My argument was that when comes into my room it’s very annoying and could quite possibly make me go psycho. He argued that he didn’t care what I thought and he would keep doing it until the day he died. So it turned into an argument and almost a fistfight as I tried to persuade him to never take another step into my room.
Right now with the COVID-19 virus, everybody and everything is still put down on quarantine, and school is now closed until May 4th. This relates to The Tempest because of how they’re all stuck on an island after a shipwreck had washed them on the shore of the island. Kind of how we are all stuck at home and can’t do anything about it. Also, in the story, they are stuck on the island with Prospero, who had already been there. Just like we are stuck at home with the thought of the virus never leaving our heads.
