In Rhetoric, we are on our last AP. For this AP, we had to create a piece of art that for all of the things we learned in Rhetoric. For the piece of art, I chose to dance. I chose the dance as my version of art because I am a dancer and I can dance and be able to tell a story with out saying anything. My candidate was Willie Wilson. It was kind of hard to dance to something for Willie Wilson because the way he presents himself is not in a musical way, so I chose to dance to a song that I performed at an open mike that Chance The Rapper hosts on a Monday every month because he is helping another mayoral candidate and I wanted to show that he also cares about the youth. The mayoral candidate that Chance endorsed is Amara Enyia. Chance has recently endorsed her online, and this is really important to me because Chance is closer to younger people, teenagers, and this will help Amara on the long end because the more people get to know her from Chance, the more people she have who will vote ...

In Rhetoric, we are on our second Action Project. For this project, I had to select a mayoral candidate. I chose Willie Wilson. The reason I chose him was because I didn't know anything about him at first. For this project I had to use either pathos, logos, or ethos and explain why it relates to a quote that he said in his video. I created a slide show that tells you who Wilson is as a person and how he feels about wanting to become the mayor for Chicago. I decided to create a short slide show because I wanted to talk about Willie but in a short way. This project is going to help with the peoples assembly that we are having because we, as students, are trying to understand our mayoral candidates more and ask them questions on how they feel about certain things that we care about as Juniors that are in Chicago. Down below you will see the slide show that i prepared and I hope that you enjoy and learn new things about Willie Wilson. 

In Rhetoric, we have been talking about why people don't like rhetoric and what rhetoric really is. For this class, we have visited Marqueete Park and talked to Alia Bilal. We also had two people come in to talk to us. We had Troy LaRaviere and Ted Miin. For this AP, we had to create a speech about a question that really bothered us. We had to use logos (logic), ethos (trust), and pathos (love) in our speech because we want for our audience to feel what we are feeling. I chose a topic that means a lot to me because it has to do with my ethnicity of people. In my audio, I tried to show that I was demanding but I was very sick when I made this audio so it may not sound like I was trying to be demanding and show the emotion behind the words that were coming out of my mouth. But I do hope that you enjoy my speech about police brutality.
