2nd week in class...


Well the second week in class was ok, we never seem to agree on things without discussing/arguing about it. Lol I really don't think you can do anything without doing the two. People have their own opinions and the only way it seems to be possible is by getting their own points across about the topic. The other day we also talked about logos, pathos, and ethos. Logos is the arguments in a story and this can also have some emotion in it as well. Pathos is the emotions of the reader or audience. Ethos is the writers emotions of the reader or audience. The three of those are meant to persuade the reader and make them believe or think just as the writer does. I don't like writing papers at all unless the topic is interesting. Pop Culture, Family, and Crime and Punishment all seem interesting to me. So i am looking forward to writing all three of those papers!

My very first blog...

Well hello all, I'm D'Naja and i am currently a student at Richard Bland College. My English 101 teacher wanted the class to create a blog. I wasn't too sure as to what i suppose to do, but I was thinking of it as a diary of some sort, but here goes. My mood as of right now is ok. It could definitely be a whole lot better, but it's not. When I have a lot on my mind, listening to music helps me remain calm. I love listening to music. Wale and Lauryn Hill are two of my favorite artists. 

This song by Wale is one of my favorites by him. It's titled Diary. 


And this song by Lauryn Hill is entitled Nothing Even Matters featuring D'Angelo.  

These two songs are so soothing to me. Give them both a listen and let me know what you think.
