Blog Post Assignment 6 (Late)

Good Friday is a Christian holiday to honor the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death. Many will say, "Jesus died for our sins," so Good Friday is a holiday for people to show acts of kindness to another and the best way to do celebrate is to help others when they need it. To show kindness to somebody means to be generous and considerate to those less fortunate than others. In return for the act of kindness, the giver receives a two-word gift which shows appreciation: "thank you." In addition, the act of kindness gives a warm feeling inside because of the notion that someone is grateful for the gift they are given and it shows that someone cares about them. If I had an opportunity to have a million dollars to help people, I would use that money to distribute it evenly across the United States so I could efficiently help as much people as possible.

When students take Advanced Placement classes, they are taking college-level curricula which allows the students to gain insight into the experience of classes beyond high school before they graduate. An example of such a class at B.C. Rain is the AP English Literature and Composition class that is offered to junior students who want to gain college credits that may exempt from taking the same course in college. While taking the course, I learned many things in the class including literary devices, rhetorical analysis, synthesizing, works by famous poets and novelists, and writing strategies. Overall, the course well prepared me for the AP Exam and I liked many things about the course, such as being given opportunities to voice our opinions in class and share our thoughts about each novel, essay, article, or short story that we have read. If I had a chance to take the course again, I would likely do so because if I learned anything about AP English, it involves a deep level of critical thinking and is all about expressing oneself in terms of writing and how the author's choice of words can help express those thoughts and emotions.
