America

Today as a class we discussed questions that the teacher gave us. Most of the questions was about how it’s like being an American and about the tragedy of 9/11. As we discussed these questions I realized that being an American is a privilege because not many counties and different places have the type of freedom that we have. The American freedom might not be as much to the Americans but can mean a lot to those who doesn’t have as much freedom. Also we talked about the tragedy of 9/11 and how it brought America closer to each other and how it was one of the biggest attack on America ever in that time. As I might say that I came to realize that segregation isn’t really going anywhere no matter what happens in the world people are always going to self-segregate themselves. I just wish and hope to be a very important and vocal individual of America to let people know how I feel about things because maybe my words can change others perspectives on life as a whole.

What a powerful poem!

What a powerful poem!   Today’s lesson was on a poem called I Felt a Funeral in My Brain by Emily Dickinson. I really loved the poem because of its complexity and because it is very powerful. The theme of this poem is that silence can be very powerful. With that being said this poem taught me life lessons as well. I tried my best to analyze the poem on my own and I got very far but with the help of my teacher and classmates I understood it even more. I’m glad that my teacher introduced this author and this specific poem to me because I really enjoyed reading and analyzing it.

Reflection A Lesson Before Dying: Ch.1-3

Chapter 1 left me yearning to see what was going to happen next because I thought Jefferson’s attomey story was convincing, but the court still found Jefferson guilty for the murder of Alcee Grope. Chapter 2 introduced Grant, the narrator, who is also Tante Lou’s nephew. I didn’t like that Tante Lou made Grant go and talk to Henri pichot against his will not knowing Louis Rougon would accuse him of making Miss Emma and Tante Lou come and talk to Henri about Jefferson. From reading chapter 3 I implied that the lesson of the book would be being acknowledge for what you truly are. In Jefferson’s case a man.

Mirror

Today we read a poem called “Mirror” by Sylvia Plath. The poem is about self perception and disbelief.  After we got done reading the poem my instructor gave us an assignment. The assignment was to look in our camera and write down what we see in our reflection. Here’s what I wrote.   When I look in the mirror I see a beautiful black Queen with pretty succulent lips and a nice smile. I see a hound lady who doesn’t takes any mess from anyone, a young lady who will soon be powerful and beyond successful in everything that she does. I see a fierce young lady who has no flaws.
