In English this week we mostly discussed our questions about Hamilton as a character, and how his and other characters reactions make Hamilton himself appear. Weirdly enough I feel as though, as a class, we mostly agreed about the reasons he did certain things and how those actions reflected onto him. However this doesn’t mean the idea of an argument is gone, because we initially had to argue our view points.

Lately I have been playing A LOT of Smash Brothers Ultimate, and I have been enjoying it a lot. This often leads to me and my friends making fun of each other for a multitude of reasons such as: being garbage, whining, cheating, being stupid, or yelling out of excitement. We get into a lot of arguments about which characters can do what and what character counters another, and never seem to agree. Of course when it comes to video games there are several things you could argue about, especially fighting games and arguing which character is the best.

I do play a lot of video games in my free time and I guess I never realized the rhetoric used to discuss certain aspects of any game. People go as far as to analyze animations frame by frame to argue a point such as, ” Mega Man sucks because his down air attack is minus 6 on perfect block.” Which may be totally meaningless to most but it sounds smart and could actually convince somebody.
