Jim Crowe Laws.

It is very obvious that the Jim Crowe Laws are unfair and racist but looking at them deeper we can see the language used and how that effects the laws. the Jim Crowe laws made segregation legal in the southern United for more than 100 years. MLK was very against them, and his expert writing and speaking was extremely beneficial in the destruction of segregation in the south.

Essay's

These essays are very good, They are fairly entertaining and funny. it is odd though how all of the authors write about a traumatic life experience as if it were nothing, they all mentioned something horrible happening to them and then just moving on. it seemed as though they had all forgotten about the terrible things they had seen. the best example of this was when the author and her brother got blood splattered on them, after their father was stabbed by their mother, although this should play a significant role in almost everybody's life it is talked about as if it was a normal occurrence. the authors do this through their straight forward diction, and simple syntax when talking about their traumatic life experiences

Why I Write

Why do I write? Is it because for the past 11 years teachers have been telling me it's important, maybe its because I need to for a grade or just to get some points. So far in my life these have been the reasons I have wrote, and they are not the correct reasons, writing should be about persuasion or fun or anything, but to write well you must enjoy writing, and write for more than a grade. This year I'm looking forward to improving my writing and learning to write well, that combined with lots of practice should bring my writing to whole new levels.

Inagural post

I have resisted blogging for my entire high school career, I have always believed that blogging is just a mashup of Facebook status updates, Tweets, and a record of daily activities that nobody cares about, but as time goes on it is important to accept and deal with changes and maybe blogging will transform from an assignment into a worthwhile pastime.
