Barack Obama Statement

It is our responsibility as lawmakers and as educators to make this system work. But it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it. So tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. . . . And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country – and this country needs and values the talents of every American. These education policies will open the doors of opportunity for our children. But it is up to us to ensure they walk through them. In the end, there is no program or policy that can substitute for a parent – a mother or father who will attend those parent/teacher conferences, or help with homework after dinner, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, and read to their child. I speak to you not just as a president, but as a father when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home.”

paragraph- President Barack Obama made a very good point about our countries education. If we do not improve the rate of highschool dropouts and or educational definciency, our country will soon be in alot of trouble. This statement means alot beacause education is the most important thing in our Countrie. we all need to take our education seriously and try our best to improve our countries common knowledge and success. This statement inspires me to get the best education I can get and it tells me that President Obama knows the inportance of education and our countries need for enhancement.

irony and ambiguity

At first, I thought irony was something that was weird, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, irony is what is expected from the story may turn out to be different. There are three types of irony: Situational irony, Dramatic irony, and verbal irony. I also learned about ambiguity. I used to think ambiguity was sarcasm, but I learned that ambiguity is a piece of writing that has multiple meanings or that can be interpreted in many different ways. On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I was far below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be above grade-level.
