Social Issue GAY RIGHTS
I feel that gay rights should be approached more. People should be able to do what they want to do when they go out side or they stay home. If a man wants to date a man then he should be able to date that man. If an woman wants to date a woman then she should be able to date that woman and bot be criticised by being different. Most people should not bully tease or even try to kill someone who is gay because that is none of there business and they should not be worried about what people do with there life. Many people need to be more tolerant. And more compassionate of how gay people are feeling a certain way that a girl can't get a boyfriend or a boy can't get a girlfriend. Some feel a certain affection for there same sex. Because of lack of confidence they feel like they can't go out to have as much fun as they want to because of discrimination. I want to show people that you can be what you want to be do what you want to do.

Diana HIV Response
Diana is a young woman who has a little sister. Diana is 24 and her younger sister is 20 and they both were diagnosed with HIV and she had thought at the age of 17 that the reason she had HIV was that she had gotten roped by two guys. But it turned out that her mother had the virus fill blown and she did not find out until later that her mom had the virus and it was passed on to her and her younger sister and she felt that she should not change for anybody.
To make this documentary I think that all they had to do was talk in her own home about how things may have to say about her experience. Some ingredients were like using her mothers pictures and showing how much she looked like her. My favorite part was when she was telling how she had to be her self even though she was different and her sister said in quote " I don't know what its like to be normal." I f were to make this documentary I would most definitely do it the same.

Book club Blog Critique
"THE COLOR PURPLE"
In the book the Color Purple a young girl named Celie has been getting raped by her father because her mother was very sick and could not give pleasure to him. Celie was a very young girl who had lots of things that could have been done in her life but all was messed when She had two children by her father. On the first page Celie gets raped and as I could have infered she had none or not many friends. She had this thing where she was told by her mother that she should only talk to God and tell him all of problems. The her and her little sister Nettie seen a man in church one day and seen a man. A few years later Celie ended up marrying this man even if she had not wanted to she was forced to take his hand in marriage. He would beat on her for not being the pretty famous woman named Shug Avery. Shug comes along and saves Celie and Celie was taken away from her sister Nettie and years and more years came and at the end Nettie came back and they felt like little girls again.
I don't think that many people in the world should make text to self connections because it might just be to personal and painful to bare or remember.
I can relate this to the things that have happened in the world like sexism, racism and prejudice things where put into this book and to show how people were treated back then. For example in the Diary of Anne Frank this girl experienced sexism and also racism because she was a young Jewish girl. In Celie's case she was very young black dark skin girl who people did not find attractive and what made it worse was the fact that she got pregnant by her father who in later years she found out was not her biological father he was her step dad. Her real father died.
I think the funniest part of the book was on the end when Nettie came back to see Celie after years and years of not seeing each other Celie said in quote "When Nettie step foot in front of the porch i almost died" I think the saddest part of the story was Celie and Nettie were taken apart from each other I almost cried because it was lie that with me and my big sister when she had to go away.

Book club authors voice
If I would chose a celebrity voice to read the color purple I would pick Oprah to read it because she has such a strong voice. She would put such a great voice and she would put her self in the characters situation.

"You ever get that feeling where you know something wrong is gonna happen but you just don't know what?"
Said Sheilah. Sheilah was having so much fun but deep down in her gut she had a feeling that all was about to change.
Sheilah ends up drunk just like everybody else.She is dancing and swaying in her skin tight purple silk feeling dress and her matching purple heals. Cameron seems to match her but dress is white and has on white shoes to match her own outfit.
The music is bumping as loud as can be and no one can hear each other talk. There isn't any water so Sheilah and Cameron out side so that they can go to the store to get some water.
Sheilah felt this tangle that felt like a burn of fire. She started coughing.Shortly they ended up back at the "Club of Playa'z" and it seems to be more people there then it was before they left to go to the store.
They are waiting out side and next thing you know,
pow pow pow, all you hear is gunshots in the dark sky.The air starts blowing hard.Sheilah feels her heart beating out of her foot.She starts hyperventilating and runs to jump in her Lamborghini.Following behind her was friends Cameron, Andrew and Ceira. Sheilah drove for her life.
Not knowing what was going on she was driving the fastest that she could drive to save her and her friends lives. Cops are following behind her.

The Color Purple response 2
Elleshamma Walker
Pages19-30
So far in the book in the very beginning she gets raped by her own father and she had many babies by him. Celie has been trough lots of stuff. She has seen many thing in her life. I can relate to her {Celie} because in my life I have seen lots of things just like did. I think the author really put lots of experience from not only her self but for other people also. She is very descriptive when it comes to characters talking about what was going on like the part where this woman Sofia was in a yard watching with her children how her husband Harpo was working. Even as disruptive as having a baby and the way she screamed at the top of her lungs when the baby started to come. So I think that Alice Walker has put her and other peoples experiences in to her book. Celie feels as if she has to survive so she never gets in to a dis respective mode. Netie {her little sister} tells her that she has to learn how to fight so the kids won't take over her life. Shug Avery { a star that gets sick and no one would take care of her accept for Mr______ because he is in love with her. Now Celie has to care for her to even though Shug called her ugly the first time she met her.

Class 802
Title: The Color Purple
1-9 PGs
So far in "The color Purple" the main character's name is Celie and right in the beginning Celie gets raped by the person who raised because her mammy was to sick to h ave sex with the husband. The husband took advantage of Celie and he was the one who got her pregnant twice .
Now Celie's mother is dead and the husband gets worse on Celie. She got beat for winking at a man in church. Now the man wants to take her little sister Netie but the husband says no because she is way to young to be a mother o his three children. So the husband says that he could have Celie because she is the next one and the oldest and he tells the man that he do not need no fresh woman inferring the fact that she got pregnant twice. He raped her because his wife was sick and could not make love to him so he told Celie that she would make up the stuff her mother couldn't or did not do for him when he asked.

Alice Walker response
I can relate to Alice Walker because we have the same birthday same last name and we both have four or more brothers. I also can relate to her because as an eight year old my tom boy years were over. When she was a young girl her right eye was damaged. When I was born my left was weaker than my right eye and until this day I have a stronger view with my right eye. I think she is a very strong woman she mainly talks about what used to go on with anger, peace , being creative and slavery I think she wants to open the eyes of not just young people but every one.

Earthes lullaby
The Earth dances around the sun when it is
bright out side and happy it dances fast.
And when it is dark and sleepy out side it sways
slowly and peacefully.
I thought that one day the Earth
would get so very very tired but
every night it sings, dances and still got
lots of grove when it comes to the morning times.
I t makes me laugh and rocks me to sleep.
When I am all tired and worn out he guides
me home with the view of the stars in the sky.
It sings its lullaby to me when I can no quite
fall asleep so he sings his lullaby to me as I dose of to sleep.

Shakesspeare response sonnet 29
This sonnet poem #29 is mostly about loneliness. I know this because in the poem it quotes that
"I all alone beweep my outcast state,"
And when this man read it he start to cry with loneliness. I can infer that he was lonely through out his life because he says his real mother died when he was eight months and he was in an orphanage. I think Shakespeare wrote this poem to describe how many people live and feel. He wrote this poem with great power and feeling so that you can dig deep to understand.Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Still I rise response
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
This quote from the poem of Maya Angelou
is a metaphor.
The theme of the poem is that you can not bring her down
she will still get back and brush her self off
and just because she is a woman does not mean you treat her like an animal.
Moreover, some men treat women like they own them.
And thats why Maya Angelou is saying"still I rise.

Slave girl
Slave girl
Oh my goodness lord have mercy over us
we go through so much
you people have no idea what it is like to have to wake every morning
and not be able to look in the mirror
not a piece of tissue to touch.
No money to even get a glance at
I loose so much weight I'd rather be fat
No pets
not a dog
not a cat
not a frog
not a bat
not even a roach to
see
first I am glad to be
but then be
but I can only be me
I try not to complain
but this life is SO! lame
If I could be someone else
I would not know who to choose
so I mind as well stay my self.
Just thinking as a young slave girl
i try hard not to get hit
i pry that the master doesn't
want me o have a baby
at such an early age like he did my mom
she was just fourteen.
I don't want to be that girl.

as president He reminds me that I have to look
at the fact that I am very lucky because I have been
through a lot but,... I do not truly know the meaning of
being hurt meant when it came to being a slave.
But that black history boy
he treats me so good
to me and i would like to think him

He reminds me every day how luck I am
how wealthy and fortunate I am.
He tells me to stay in the light on the bright side.

Chanckera response BM 2
Elleshamma Walker
Feb 6,2009
In this poem this young lady was hit by her boyfriend she compares herself to her older sister because her sister got hit or beat up by all her men. So Chankera says that after he hit her she looked into his eyes and say her sister now she is in class and says that she had a late run in with her sister. I can connect this poem and this young lady to some I know because it is called "bruised love" and some girls and women are getting hurt and scared by the men they supposedly love and she is young and deserves better as her friend quoted in the text.
Chankera also uses lots of similes and metaphors in her poem. I think this poet is feeling that as she quoted in the text that "women ain't no punching bag" so she seems to upset at the fact that some boys and men think they control girls and women. I can infer that Chankera does not want to get beat on because of her actions.

Some poets make stanzas to break off.
They want to be organized and have fun with it.
They want to emphasize there points and when they are ready to break or pause.

Understandable
Elle,
Is understandable
the way many things work
when you think
about it.
But things
become spaced out at times
if you don't
think .
You have,
to be understandable for people
to want to have the NEED
to understand you.
AND THATS UNDERSTANDABLE.

Elle's view on poetry 1
So far all my life I have loved poetry. I grew in to it more and much more when I discovered my ela teacher Ms.Johns. I have always loved to write poetry to express my feelings. in which no one would under stand. When it came to the point were I was really good at I started taking data of it and writing it in note books. Poetry can do and mean so many things. Especially when it comes to feelings. And that Elle's view on poetry.!!!
MY OPINION
The thing about blogging is that you share what you read, what you have read or what you 've heard someone read. You can infer many things . Tell hat the charector is feeling. I think that bogging is a way to communicate your ideas or many other thing and etc.
My teacher, when it comes to blogging she is really strict because she grades them as if they are book reports. I want to pass so I just do it even when she nags me in advisory. More over any one ca blog about any thing they want to.
I would say if you have an idea or any thing positive you are able to write so that other people like Mr. levy can view. "GO MR. LEVY".

Poem to the president
"Change"
Yes we can,"change"
Yes we have,"changed"
and yes we will continue to "change"
Because,
Rosa sat so
Martin could walk,
Martin walked so Obama could run,
Obama ran so us children can fly.
Yes we can,"change"
Yes we have,"changed"
and yes we will continue to "change"
I have a dream that an african american president will appear
he will share and care
And I, will not stand up and give up my seat or my rights to nobody
no matter if you are back or white,
And at last , yes we can strive
with no child left behind.
Yes we can,"change"
Yes we have,"changed"
and yes we will continue to "change"

Rosa sat so

Inaugural poem response 1
Praise song for the day
Elizabeth Alexander
I think the title "Praise Song for the Day" means that change could be good or bad because it's almost like a flashback to me when we think of the slaves and all the black leaders who helped change our world we give thanks to them. For example, she quotes "Say it plain: that many have died for this day.
Sing the names of the dead who brought us here". I think she says this to make us visualize all the things they have done to keep the racism out of our world. Moreover to keep us all equal.
