@LeeMokobe understood his audience well when delivering his poem about coming out as trans. He makes religious and emotional appeals throughout, which evoke sympathy from the crowd. He also uses his voice brilliantly to command the tone in the building. #marksaplang@MizMarks
https://t.co/hzQQDS9c3E in this article, Sopan Deb explores the reasons as to why former MVP Russell Westbrook is struggling to find his place in the league. I chose this because he's one of the most electrifying NBA players to date @MizMarks#marksaplang
@trevornoah Hey Trevor, my name is Hamza from NYC. My AP Lang class is reading your book Born a Crime with our teacher @MizMarks. So far, I really enjoy the calming atmosphere of your book, as you go through these daunting childhood experiences with such a positive attitude.
#collabapchat A (4B): The authors nostalgic and reminiscent tone shows how he has experienced many scars and stories, which builds the authorโs credibility.
A4D the author compares emotional and physical scars but also shows that they can both affect a person in the same ways. He thinks of the two as very similar and traumatic things #collabapchat
@MizMarks Q4-4A: The author uses pathos to appeal to the audience's emotions. He details his early memories, and how each scar represents a different time in his life. In doing this, he builds a relationship with the audience based on shared experiences. #collabapchat
A1: The listed format of the author's article guides the reader through his life chronologically and simultaneously reinforces the authors purpose that scars portray the story of your life.
#collabapchat
A3D: a scar symbolizes a tragic moment in your life and how you have grown from it in my opinion. For instance, I have two on my forehead and it reminds me of how I got my forehead hit with a doorknob #collabapchat
A2E: The author makes his stories seem positive because he wants to remember them as if it was an experience, not as an accident. He does not want to look at it and say "Oh, what a huge problem this scar caused me" but instead, " Oh yeah, I remember that day!" #collabapchat
A2D: mistakes and hardships impact your life much more than success does. Success comes after your character has been chipped, and put to tests that mistakes often bring. You learn from mistakes, and are rewarded with success after. #collabapchat
A1B: the author suggested for his daughter to look at scars as an adventure rather than a tragedy. Therefore, anyone that has little to no scars has no adventure in their lives. #collabapchat

Acevadoโs tone towards the subject in the spoken word poem โHairโ is anger and nonconformity. She expresses her discontent with the notion that her cultural practices are somehow โwrongโ. She says it herself, you canโt fix what isnโt broken; referring to her hair. #marksaplang
