Haiku:

War is for death

Not for being a hero

The fear doesn’t come

Until the battle is here

You're never safe

The cockiness is there

Until you see your enemy

connection #2

I don't understand why Celie doesn't just leave Mr_____. She could live a way better life with out him. All he is doing is holding her back. I think Celie is scared to leave him but in the end it would help her a lot.

"I ast him to take me instead of Nettie while our new mammy sick"

I think Celie is very strong mentally because of how hard her life is because of Mr _____ . I'm surprised she is still alive even with all the stuff that is happening to her.

Why is the family still allow Mr____ to be in their lives.

I cant think of a book this connects to.

Root words about Dakota culture
I think the title makes sense because the shape of the poem shows hot the roots are the biggest part.The poem really shows the great culture of the Dakota and how the plants they grew were so important to them and they appreciated them.

Figurative Language and Cultural Understanding

"Yam, the king of crops, was a very exacting king,"

1. This metaphor talks that the yam is the most important crop and that its more important than than the cocoa yam or cassava. It also lets the reader understand that its a very hard crop to grow and that only some (the men) are capable of growing it.

2. This reveals that the Igbo culture is patriarchal in that they only believe that men are capable of growing this prestigious crop, where as women should be growing cocoa yams and cassava.

Protein

A. My first reaction was its a little gross to be eating grass hoppers.
B.I know that eating insects is very healthy for you and that they have a lot of protein.
C. My attitude towards eating insects is still really gross to me. I don't understand why you wouldn't just eat normal food. I understand that they have protein but its still super gross.

I'm the best

On and off the ice

Nobody is even close 

I've been called the next Gretzky

which really makes me mad because I'm even better

I'm the worlds greatest

I'm an all-star

Its so nice not having to try and still being the best 

They test the best 

but its no test

I'm that good

ferguson

A. I think http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/26/us/after-ferguson-announcement-a-racial-divide-remains-over-views-of-justice.html?_r=0 by (Micheal Wines,2014) is the most logical source because its not one sided. It shows how Micheal brown attacked the police officer before shooting.


B.The source that appealed to my emotions the most was http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/11/29/police-protester-hug-portland-photo/19656029/ It shows a picture of a police officer hugging a little boy. This just shows that when our country is in a hard condition how strong the community comes together.


C.  The source that seems to have an author that is very educated is https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2014/11/28/ferguson-must-force-face-anti-blackness/pKVMpGxwUYpMDyHRWPln2M/story.html by (Micheal P. Jeffries 2014) because he uses very strong words and describes the seen very well and makes you intrigued and makes it easy to read.

D. I know a lot more about the case now. Before I didn't know that micheal brown attacked the police officer and that is why he shot him. Know it makes a lot more sense.

Night Blackout

Dreams
swallowed up
 in the silence
 of
a creature
 with eyes dead white as sightless as
 spiders
 in a dull glass bell.

Mood vs tone

McCarthy's tone in the passage is apathetic whereas the mood of the text is haunting. McCarthy's description, while vivid ,lacks emotion. McCarthy's describes the two as " pilgrims in a fable swallowed up and lost among the inward parts of some granitic beast"(1). He is blunt and detached from these individual's situation. Conversely, the mood of the text is almost the opposite as the description inspires fear and tension. The creature "with eyes dead white and sightless as the eggs of spiders" swings its head low over the water as if it to take the scent of what it could not see"(1) The creature physical description is terrifying and seems to be aware of the intruders who have entered his space.

Text-to-Text connections

I think a big connection between night and Persepolis is lose of faith. Elie loses faith in God because the concentration camps was so bad and he believes God didn't help him get out. In Persepolis She thinks she is the last prophet but when people make fun of her she loses faith.

Persepolis blog post number #1

Faith ,trust, and hope

As a young girl she believes she is a prophet and that God has chosen her. She has lots of faith. As people began to laugh at her she's starts to think that maybe she isn't the last prophet. When people ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she responses normally by saying she will be a prophet but after she loses faith she says that she will be a doctor.

Black boy poem

Letting go,
  from having no money
Letting go,
  from moving each month
Letting go,
   from being forced into religion
Letting go,
   from working jobs as tough as nails
Letting go,
   from feeding off the scraps of what's left
Letting go,
   from stealing to survive
Letting go,
   to being a nameless black boy
Letting go,
   from the discrimination of the south
Letting go,
   to set free up north

Compare and Contrast

In the two Poems "Between the world and Me" and "The South" They compare lynching to the south and how terrible it was for the black community. Hughes writes "Scratching in the dead fire's ashes for a Negro's bones"  while Wright wrights "And the down and quills  of the white feathers sank into my raw flesh,I moaned in my agony. In The south it talks more about the culture of the south and how Hughes liked the south but it didn't like him back, so he has to move north. Also he uses personification by giving the south human characteristics. Between the World and Me talk all about the lynching. Lynching was so awful for the black community because and any moment it could be them being killed instead of them watching which makes it so frighting for them.  

Night #2

While in the Auschwitz camp all faith and hope is lost.On page 77 Wiesel explains how he is starting to lose faith in God. He doesn't understand how this is happening and thinks that God should stop it."I suffer in hell my soul and my flesh. I also have eyes and i see what is being done here. Where is God's mercy? Where's God? How can I believe, how can anyone believe in this God of Mercy?" (77) In the beginning of the camp Wiesel and his dad say that to survive threw this camp they need to keep faith in God and have hope. As the camp gets worse and worse Elie doesn't believe in God anymore because of how harsh and terrifying the camp is.
