what I am Passionate about..

 

         If you were thinking giraffe your 100% correct. I love giraffes I think they are so beautiful and peaceful. They are wild animals but yet they're so calm.
        Giraffes only sleep about 20 minutes a day and hardly drink water. They receive all the necessary nurturance from their favorite tree, thorny acacia, they spend most of there day eating. Also just like humans you can tell how old a giraffe is by how dark their spots are, the darker the older just like humans the older the more wrinkles you have.
          I have always love giraffes for as long as I remember I think it is because besides the fact that they are so beautiful to look at, they are also so sweet to be a animal in the wild. yes, a kick from a giraffe can kill a lion but they only use it when they have too. I am so passionate about giraffes for various reasons like how amazing and so unique each spot is on their body not one spot is like another. Its like snowflakes only better because they don't melt away. Have you ever seen how they drink water with their front legs spread open they look so funny and harmless.
        But the main reason why I love giraffes so much is because they always have their heads in the clouds you can say. They walk around with their heads up high all throughout their life. So you may say that in a way I look up to they metaphorically and physically. They live day by they looking for food and staying alive just like us.

CRR Post

            Ap English class has been reading Beloved by Toni Morrison. One of the biggest questions in the book is weather Seth's reason for killing  her baby and attempt to kill the others justified or not. Personally at first I believe it was because she rather kill them then have them live though what she did. There was just no way she would allow them to go into the life of slaves after she went though so much to get them out of it. However after the scenic seminar we had I have change my mind. I think that she had no right to end another humans lives I believe that her intension were good, but also I think that her background made her who she is. she is strong and dying is the easy way out. I still have a bit of mix feelings about it but am leaning more towards her not killing the babies. I fell that in result of what happen that night is the reason of why she acts the way she does. she is mostly serious and numb to most things and is completely fine with her baby's ghost in the house.

   I have been reading two books out side of school. My go to book, meaning the one I read on the train or while doing laundry is the drivers book in hopes of passing the test on  the 6 after all I believe this could really be the day I pass it. I have also been reading a book by Traci L. Jones titled "standing against the wind".

   This book thus far is a really good book. it is about this girl who is 13. Recently moved from Georgia to Chicago. Her mother is in jail and doesn't really have a connection with her sister. she lives with her aunts and gets bully at her new school even though she is extremely smart and soft- spoken.  As of right now she is excited about applying to a scholarship that will allow her to leave Georgia. she has also started touring a little boy from her building and help raise her little cousins as well. what seems to be the problem as of right now is her hair. she leaves it natural and the others at school make fun of her but even more than that she is alone her escape in the class room.   

(free write) six word story

          Here goes my free write or whatever it may be called. To be honest I really don’t know what to write, So here is a really short story. Are you ready? 

                      “We’re all trying to forget someone.”

          Short and straight to the point, right? Well many people may read this and each respond in different ways. Me for example though of that one person I just wish I can shred from my memories. A couple of people came to mind a little after, but that one person remain on the top of the list. As for the others I have learn to grow from and appreciate them being in my life. But this one person, it is just a constant struggle to forget. His voice, the way he walks and thinks it just makes me disgusted.

           I have tried talking to him and just trying to work things out but that man is not just supposed to be in my life. For example on my birthday he promise to get me a gift anything I wanted. I asked him to cover for my prom including my dress. He agreed, later on he brought my little brother the latest iPad and went on vacation with his girl. Then said that he didn’t say I can go to my senior trip as if he even had a saying in my decision. He also said he would not pay from my prom because he doesn’t want me to attend that either. So as of that day he will no longer be attending my graduation and we have once again stop talking. So much for short story, but I wonder for me it’s my father whom I try to forget, how about for you?       

blog of march 11 (CRR) "The heart of Darkness"

     Okay I am at last getting used to this whole blog and comment business. 250 words or more, well I’m still working on it. For this week we have to write about something we are reading or discussing in class. So on that note I will talk about the class new novel. It’s called “The Heart of Darkness”

         This book is so far really rad I was really captured by the image of the sun setting and all the colors it displaces like the red and pink and orange. In my personal imagination I picture this guy with a suit and tie drinking tea among others that look similar to him. From my understanding this book is a story within a story. There’s this guy who is telling his story to a group of guys. We’re not quite there yet however as of right now they are just waiting to go to London I believe.

        Although this book is complex when it comes to the word choice, at least for me it is, I am enjoying it I like that we write journal entries it allows me to understand what’s going on more. I still want to know how exactly is it so dark? To be honest I am actually waiting for something important or interesting to happen.               

(#10 ID) math class is helping me add up my life!

     I have Algebra 2 again! its like having the same nightmare over and over again night after night. But this time I am awake and do my work and I also have Ms. Mingos  who's is actually getting this langue of math in my head! 

      Right now where learning about scatter  plots its easy for now like I actually feel like I got this. the only thing is I get confused on what I should put on the x-axis in comparison to the y. 

       How can I forget to mention GRAPHING! We are learning to graph and what can I say it is a journey because I just have so many questions when I'm in class and I don't really want to raise my hand and ask because i am the only person from my grade there so I think the other people will think I'm really dumb.  

   I tend to stay to myself in that class especially because people laugh when I talk . I think it's because of my voice but I rather it be that than because of questions. I like this class overall  because I sit at the very front and only pay attention to the lesson, besides I don't know anyone else in that class I think there 11th graders they seem ...interesting .Besides this I also gain the opportunity to organize my papers, think about what's going on after school, catch up on any other work and think about what I'm eat or go  for lunch.         

blog #9 SSR

Justice has been served more than a half-century after courageous students were sent to jail for taking a stand.
On Wednesday, Jan. 28, almost 54 years to the exact day the Friendship Nine were arrested, their convictions and sentences for trespassing and protesting were officially vacated during a formal hearing at Rock Hill Municipal Court in South Carolina.
Named the Friendship Nine because eight of the nine Black men were students at the former Friendship Junior College in Rock Hill, they were arrested Jan. 31, 1961, for sitting at the McCrory’s whites-only lunch counter.
After being found guilty, the men accepted a sentence of 30 days of hard labor on a chain gang, instead of paying the $100 bail.

      After reading this I didn't know exactly how I should feeling. I felt that it was way over due, they should have resolved this way back than not now. I felt angry and disrespected because I thought of this as a joke. Like they did this only to prove that they can do whatever they please and to laugh at the whole situation that is according today. I also felt happy that at last victory  was serve for these innocent young people.
     These people that did this were around my age, they were willing to go though this to make a change. They didn't do it because their friends were doing it or because they were told to do so. They did it because it came from within them they knew that they had to try to make a change and went ahead and did what they could.
      I believe that it is the responsibility of this generation to stand up and make a change. I believe the only way that anything will change is if we want it with all of our hearts, that we fight for it as much as we fight to get up every morning even if our beds are pulling us in.    
      I believe that is on of the major problems in todays society, we are way to entertain with technology, we don't believe we can make a difference and because we are concern of what others think of us, so if our friends are not with it neither are we.
