Michael Loh 10/7

It was like any other day in this strange English class. As I walk into class, I'm greeted by an overexcited Mr. Rivers at the door. We always say good morning to each other. I don't really know if that is a special thing between us or if he does that with everyone, but I really enjoy it. Some might see his energy as strange, but I find it very refreshing in my mornings. It really wakes me up and gets me ready for the rest of the day. You can never really fall asleep in that class. One of the things we did in class was talk about specificity and clarity. There was a picture of Michael Scott from the office on the board. We used that as a starting point for our lesson on specificity and clarity. After we finished going over that, we watched a clip from the office. It was a funny scene where Michael Scott hits a lady and does a bad job of retelling what happened back to his colleagues. We used this scene to describe specificity and clarity. We as a class decided that in that scene, Michael was being specific, but not clear as to who hit the lady. Michael described everything that happened while trying to avoid saying that he was the one that hit the lady. The lesson to take away from this is that you want to maintain a balance between being specific and being clear. While we were watching The Office, I also was working on my intertextuality essay. I mean like... it's due really soon and I needed to work on it. I feel like other people were in a similar situation to me. It seemed that many people found that class to be very entertaining.
