It's Finally OVERRRRR!!

I absolutely hated blogging, It is just not my thing. I have never been one to write in a journal or anything so this was a annoying. I liked finding the quotes by Mark Twain best. I did not like "Walking through Harlem". I honestly didn't put much effort into these blogs. I fell behind, and did what i needed to do. I would not recommend this for the next class, i didn't learn anything new from doing them and i am quitting blogging after this last post.
Top three stories we read this year were: The Yellow Wallpaper
                                                                  The world on the turtle's back
                                                                  The Pit and the Pendulum

Gatsby Sountrack

1.I Wanna Be Loved By You-Helen Kane 
This song relates to Gatsby and his want for Daisy. 

2.I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover- Nick Lucas/ Ben Bernie
This song makes me think of how Gatsby is trying to turn around his luck in winning over Daisy.

3.Shake That Thing- Ethel Waters/ Papa Charlie Jackson This Song is just a representation of the parties Gatsby throws, It's kind of our very first impression of him.  

Stephen Crane

you say you are holy

You say you are holy, And thatBecause I have not seen you sin.Aye, but there are those Who see you sin, my friend.

This poem is really judgementally true. NO matter where you try to run God always knows what you have down. NO matter the lies you tell to cover your faults one will know and eventually your web of lies will unravel in a pile of shame.

Mark Twain quotes

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
— Mark Twain

I like this quote because I'm always hesitant to do things, try new adventures, but part of me wants to do different things. This quote inspires me because only when someone has truly lived can he give advice like this.

Quest for Civil Rights

I think king, Malcom X, and Rosa Parks all had a bond by the way they stood up for what they believed  in, but there was more than just them. As Having Our Say shows us everyone has their own story from that time, They have their own opinions and hardships.

A walk through harlem

In the story Having Our Say, Bessie's dental office is on seventh street across from the red brick building. That was the first thing i noticed. Second, I noticed the churches, the sisters were religious especially because their father was a pastor. It's really interesting seeing a story in my head come to life. These buildings are reinventing themselves brick by brick in my head. I like it.

I put this photo up because it shows slaves working. This to me is shaming to americans everywhere but it also shows something about how strong african americans really were. They worked so hard just to be like you and me everyday. They ran from the wrongs and stood their grounds. The delany sisters relate to this story because they worked for everything they wanted. They didnt borrow and set a lesson for all those who took them for granted.
