diction is a word an author chooses
syntax is the way an author aranges words
tone is the authors attitude towards the audience or the topic or the characters
"The Mentors" use of diction effectively conveys his message by repeition of some of the same lines and words. The mentor also uses profound language and compares everyone to him saying that he is not like everyone else making a tone.

My memorizing strategy ðŸ’
Whenever it comes to memorizing anything I always read the first line then I close my eyes and reite it for about five times. When I open my eyes again I read the next line and close my eyes again this time I recite both lines five times and do it again for the next line. Each time reciting from the beginning and adding in the line I had just memorized. I think it's effective because i'll never forget what the first part was. With a poem like "Richard Cory" it took me about an hour because I would often make up words that were not there and put them in one of the lines so I often had to go back and recite that specific line 10 times.
Second Socratic Seminar
Notes-
- A right is something others must honor/obligate
- An opinion doesn't get us to the truth
- Saying you "have a right to your opinion" doesn't require someone to do,say, or feel anything
- We need to focus on an issue instead of using emotions

First Socratic Seminar
Notes:
The Socratic Seminar is a method that is used to find the real truth.
Why do people end up hurting the ones they love the most?
Is it still love if someone cheats in the relationship?
I think that people will hurt the ones they love the most unintentionally by trying to protect them from something and end up lying about what they are trying to do for them or trying to do what they think is best for the other person when in reality it is probably not what the other person wants.
In my opinion if someone cheats on their partner then that means that they don't love that person. You may ask why? Well I believe that if you are inlove with someone then you would never do anything to intentionally hurt them in any way.

The Right to Your Opinion
While reading this article I started thinking that there are opinions that sound like two different things in two peoples minds. That is why we have to question it or give a reason to the opinion that was stated. If we do not agree with another person based on their opinion on something, that does not mean that you would have to change your way of thinking and they don't either. We could try and explain why we have that opinion and maybe the other person would change their opinion or we could stick with our opinion and neither person changes their opinion which is completely fine even if your opinion or theirs isn't right.
The Socratic Method
I think the Socratic Method is very interesting because they question you a lot and make you think deeper into what the topic is about. For example whenever we're discussing with someone about who should get a more important role in a show we ask questions criticizing the person they are defending. These questions are intentionally criticizing to make the other person think deeper in their decision as to why they chose to defend that character in the show. This is why I think that the Socratic Method is very interesting in making people rethink if their choice is correct or wrong.
Richard Cory
This is a video of me reciting the poem of Richard Cory. Honeslty it took me about an hour to memorize it but whenever I got to recording myself reciting the poem my brain shut off whenever I thought I was doing good. So finally After so many tries I decided to post this one. I messed up a little but I tried my best.
