who am i thankful for??

well there are a lot of people in my american lit class who i am friends with. and honestly i love them all very very much and wouldnt trade them for anything. but i think that i am mostly thankful for clara torres.

why? well she gives everbody a very...different point of view on things and she can back up what she says so you cant just treat her life about anything she says. no lie, i dont always agree with her but i cant say anything cause ill end up looking stupid. im sure of it. so what she says does have an affect on me and it lets me know other point of views. even dark ones. so i really think she can beat anyone in a debate. for example, if she was arguing for slavery, id most certainly be put to work. because im black...for all the people who didnt get that one...but anyway her points help me think more about stuff.

another thing is that she couldnt care less about what people think about her. so yeah im sure her dark points are here to stay. but that makes me want to stand by my point cause she can do it
so yeah thats why im thankful for clara...oh yeah shes an ok person too...i guess...
btw i <3 joanne too...and i didnt punch her...i slapped her with the back of my hand :)

i. am. a. plow??

well to be honest, i dont really know anything about plows. all i really know is that they are big, useful, and they can get the job done. i think. but well they can for some reason relate to me. i guess...

well for one thing i am big. if you havent already noticed. but i dont mean big as in size cause i could be sooo much bigger in that area. when i say big, i actually mean personality. i hope you could tell that since i talk a lot in class, and if you havent, i hope you can pay attention more in the future.

i also like to look at myself as useful. even though im not actually useful for working in the field for hours like plows do now. but idk why i think im useful, but im sure i could come in handy sometimes when im needed.

another way that im like a plow is that i get the job done. i feel like that may be self explanitory. but if you dont understand, what i mean is that when i say ill do something, ill get it done. ill do it when i feel like it but i surely will do it. so thats what i mean by getting the job done.

how would american lit be better??

so american lit is a really broud subject so theres not really any specific things that can be changed but there are things that can be changed. for example, i think that we should do less of reading big long books and just read more short passages. this is because if we read more types of passages, would would get a bigger and better understanding of what american lit is. so instead of reading the scarlet letter in its entireity, we could read important portions. so then, we could have read some of the book, have a taste of the type of literature, and go on to the next thing without wasting too much time. also, we could watch more of the movies made from books. i know some teachers do this but not all of them do. this is really important because if you have no clue as to whats going on in the book, wouldnt watching the movie help? i think so. theres not really much to add to american lit but like most subjects, it can be improved.

slavery

i think that slavery is still todays society. its just less obvious. people these days are alot more smart about slavery and its sometimes right in front of our eyes. we just dont know it. for example, there are people in asia that are slaves. i dont know exactly who, or where, but i know that its happening. honestly this is just as bad as when black people were slaves. it is the same concept. also, if you didnt know, a form of slavery is how we treat the illegal immigrants that find their way over to the united states. though there are some major differences. for one thing, they actually got money for working even though it is really really really reeeaaally small. they are also happy. now that is really important because they actually want to be in america. unlike african slaves. so that can let you know that mexico is not the greatest plce in the world. so the tiny tiny amount of money they do get is ok for them because theey are in america. now you can say that american wasnt as great back then but my ancestors were happy in africa. i just know it. so in conclusion, slavery is still around but it is not as much as the cool thing anymore.
