Last "real" day

Honestly I think your a very good teacher you know what your talking about. I don't like your attitude sometimes your never directed towards me , but still I don't care too much for it. But this experience with you and this program will always have an impact on my life. You don't play no games when it comes down to you doing your work. I like the fact that you push your students and you don't accept nothing less than there best work. I really enjoyed this class. There was not one time that I ever fell asleep in class. Even though some days I would be really tired its just your tone of your voice and you always had us doing something so that always kept me up. Now, I didn't like the fact that these papers were due like the next day sometimes. I felt like you didn't really manage your time too well on the essays. Now I do not like you whenever you gave us those Sula quizzes because no other class had quizzes or anything to deal with Sula. I wish you would of let us pick what we wanted to write about. But, the classroom environment was hype and good. You are truly a good teacher no matter how stern you might be.

Research In the Library

While I was in the library I spent most of my time looking for sources to complete my paper with. I found a lot of sources actually and I am going to use some web sources also. But, when I first got in the library I didnt kow what to do. You could say I was lost and confused about what I was trying to do. But, I eventually just got on the website and found all the books that had something to do with racisim. This is not the first time I had to go to a college library and find sources, because I have done this before. I was still lost though even though I kinda knew what I was doing. Honestly I am still kind of working on my claim so my thesis wont be so broad. I really loved the fact that I could experience figuring my way around the library. I think my paper is going to be really good I am very confident about this paper. For some odd reason my paper always turns out to be longer than what the requirements are. But I am ready to start actually working on the body of my paper because this is going to be really juicy.

Argumentative essays

I love argumentative essays because you can say your opinion and show that other people agree with you also and its not just you. This is the type of essay that you can say whatever you want just as long as you back it up. But, in my argumentative essay I am going to prove that racism is still very evident and it is very controversial especially in the sense when Sula slept with those white men and the community hated her for it. Racism can not be based on someone's skin color or the intellectual mental state of a person. After all that our ancestors been through with racism you kind of wonder why this still exist. I get so heated when people judge others just based off their skin color. God did not put us on this earth to have debatable conversations about things he created. If God does not worry about our skin color then, why should we. I am a person that looks at someone's heart and their personality. But, I hate the fact that people still have issues with Blacks. Honestly we have made this world what it is today. The whites would be lost without us. I can see how some whites judge Blacks because some of them carry themselves in a nasty and degrading way and maybe that is all they know. But, you can not just categorize what you seen in one person and judge blacks off of one thing you saw, because no two people are the same. So I say all of that to say that the color of your skin does not depict the person you sleep with.

Technology and children

We watched a video in class and we have read some articles in class involving children with technology. I think that kids do act off what they see and hear. Children these days are really into the violent games. Some kids do not know how to separate reality from nonrealistic and that s when the problem comes in. The children do things on the game and they think they can do them outside of the game. That is why on todays news you see a lot of kids and young children committing all these violent acts. It will be helpful if the parents did kind of check on the kids to see what they are watching or even see the games that they are exposed to because some of those kids should not be playing violent games. I think it is true that when children are watching these violent movies or even playing these games their adrenaline starts to rush and they cant distinguish the fact of what's real and what's fake. But not everyone that plays these violent games or watch the violent movies act in the same manner. Everyone's mind is different from someone's else's. It depends on their mental stability and if they are mature enough to control themselves or know the difference between reality and things that are not real. Everything these days revolve around technology if this world did not have technology I think we as individuals would be very intellectual. But, kids don't read anymore at all everything is seen or heard on technology.

1965- A refelction

Honestly this book was not that interesting to me. I mean I would honestly read the chapters, but I felt when it was time to take the quizzes I really bombed them. But in this last chapter of Sula I felt as if this whole chapter was more of a reflection of actually happened through out the book. I was confused as to what was going on when I read the book last night. But I think Eva telling Nel how she felt about her really opened up her eyes to see what kind of person she really was. She noticed how similar she actually was to Nel. She thought of Sula as a negative role model but in actuality she was just as bad as her. But I always knew that the day Sula died would be the best day the community has seen. But, the community changed after her death because she was seen as a demonic individual. But Eva I think is the most Candice and loyal person through out the whole book. She was a very straight forward person in this chapter. I honestly didn't expect to see that come from her. But I thought throughout the whole book that Nel was the better person throughout the book because nobody truly revealed her true identity. So, when Eva said those things they did kind of made sense as I looked back on the book and analyzed it.

1941- Going to read tonight

Honestly I did not read this chapter of the book. I thought that because when you said you was moving our quiz to today I figured I didn't have to read. But I have been reading the chapters lately I just didn't read last night. I kind of figured you were going to tell us to read but, I honestly did not hear you when you said that. So, when I told you in the lab that I didn't read and I would just make another blog tonight when I finally read the chapter. I was upset that you gave me fifties if I didn't do another blog after I caught up and read the chapter. But, I know I shouldn't be upset with you about that. I am a college student and I need to step it up, because this is not high school anymore and you as a professor have seen what happens first hand when a student procrastinates with their work. So when I go to study hall today I am going to read chapter 1941 and do another blog so I can full credit. Because honestly I cant afford another bad grade. I just want to end the summer with two good grades.
