12/12/16 change

I think things will change in 10 years for me because I know I’m not always gonna like the same things as I do right now. I usually change foods I like every other year, sometimes I get sick of something if I eat it often. It doesn’t have to be just food but I usually change things very often due to me constantly finding new things to like. Everybody changes over time, others take long than others but eventually we all change at least a tad bit. Not everyone is gonna like the same thing as they did when they were 10 as they did when they were 20. Some people don’t change at all but most of the time people will change foods, music, tv shows, etc over a long period of time. I think personally people change the most when they’re younger.

12/12/16 Nobel Prize

I think that the Nobel Peace Prize is so important because it shows people what an average human being can do that can change the world and how it works in a positive way. The Nobel Peace Prize award winners  had committed themselves to working to resolve conflicts on the basis of international law and arbitration. They also do these things without anyone asking them to do so. They spend all this time an effort on something and they don’t have to do it, they just do it willingly. I think that truly is amazing that someone could put so much work into something like that. It amazes me that someone can do such a thing, without the Nobel Peace Prize award I don’t think there would be such great people to thank for our world.

11/21/16 Thankful

To start off I am thankful for my family. Not a lot of people are as close as I am with my family. They’re not perfect but they fit for me. I never have to underestimate them because they’re always there for me. Whenever when I’m with my family I’m come, distance doesn’t matter because in the end we know where we stand, home isn’t where you are, it’s who you’re with and what you love. My mom and dad are divorced but they still do all they can with me and my twin brothers. My parents do so much for us and sometimes I don’t appreciate it as much as a should.
I’m also thankful for my home, siblings, food, warmth, friends, and the love and support I have from my friends and family. They always know what to do when I’m upset or not in the best of moods. They also deal with me even though most of the time I’m saying dumb things or having an attitude. They stay around through my darkest of days. That’s when you know you have true friends.
Some people don’t have a house to live in or even food to eat. So I am thankful that I can wake up each morning and know I have loved ones, a home, and food. it’s amazing how some people get things handed to them and then there’s kids out on the street homeless. I’m very lucky and thankful for the live I have and have chosen even though its not the perfect life everyone wants, its all I need and it’s perfect for me so that’s all that matters to me.

The people of Maycomb should not of acted in such a manor to where they are

Surrounding Atticus Finch, representing Tom Robinson who was accused of raping a

young white woman. Tom Robinson had been moved from one jail to Maycomb jail for

his trail against the white girl. A mob of men had come up to the Maycomb jail

Sunday night to kill Tom Robinson before his court date set for the next morning

on a Monday. The men believe that just because white women had said a black

man had raped her that it would be true. They did not want Tom Robinson to have

a fair trial instead they wanted to deal with the man himself without any

official. The men clearly were ready to kill a man straight off the bat without

finding the truth of the men simply because of racism. Racism has been around

for far too long. People of Maycomb have been too harsh on colored people to

where it is cruelty, harassment, and racial discrimination. We should know from the civil war

between the north and the south that racism does no good in the world. We have to learn to      give everyone a fair life. The mob of men from Sacrum had no proven evidence that Tom

Robinson had raped the girl. All they had was the accusations from the white

Girl.

As I sat in the window of a nearby building holding a double-barreled shotgun

waiting for disaster to strike 3 young child, 2 of Mr. Atticus Finch and the

other nephew of Miss Rachel Haverford’s’ came up to the jail house in a hurry to

Atticus. Just as Atticus tried to make the kids head home away from the disaster

a man grabs Atticus male child up and the young female child of Finch’s’ diffuses

the situation by innocently chatting to Mr. Cunningham. Somehow Mr. Cunningham

realizes how Scout Finch’s kind gestures toward his son bring him back to his

friendship with Atticus. With the mob of men now in awe of the young ladies

speech, they somehow come to their senses and drive off. The little young lady

may of saved Tom Robinson’s life.

I understand why those men mobbed in front of the Maycomb jail like that. They

were raised off of what their peers and parents told them was wrong and right.

They’ve grown up thinking every black man wants to rape a white women whenever

they get the chance to. But they don’t understand that times have changed and

not every black man is colored. They think that just because a white women says

something it’s automatically true, but there is no evidence so far if Tom

Robinson even raped the white girl. They should at least trail him and if he’s

guilty then maybe he had raped more girls so we need him to pay for what he did

if he had even done it. But if he is pleaded not guilty then that saves an

innocent man’s life. It’s all about fair trail and equality. Treat Tom Robinson

as you would any white man.

10/31/16 Emett Till

a. Keith Beauchamp was a 32 year old film maker who became obsessed with the Emett Till case. Keith Beauchamp has been traveling around the country showing his unfinished documentary called ” The Untold Story of Emett Louis Till “. He has also met with law enforcements to reopen the Emett Till case.

c. Mamie Mobley had left her son Emett Till’s coffin open during his funeral so thousands of people could see what had happened to him.

d. Mamie Mobley had said ” Keith, you’re about to grab a rattlesnake by the tail ” to Beauchamp when he had started researching the murder of her son.

ΙThe person that inspires me the most is Adele. She inspires me the most because she never lets herself relinquish. Whenever she is in a dilemma she always finds her way through the breach. Adele tends to be very cumbersome and real. She will end up messing up on stage and she’ll be honest and make it fun. She takes her job as serious as a commandeer. If someone insults her music she always effaces It and ignores them. She knows that people are very opinionated and she accepts that. She tries to make each and every concert perennial and fun. Sometimes she’ll get involved with the crowd and let them sing along with her. She never lets a crowd die, even when the crowd is hateful. She always wins them over. She knows sometimes she can be in a muddle, but when this happens she’ll write a new song about her dilemmas. When her crowds get a little too unbridled she’ll calm them down by talking to them and relating to them. Adele seems to diffuse her music all over the world.

10/10/16 What Scares Me the Most?

What scares me the most is breaches. I always find myself being circumspect around them or near them. I’m always afraid I’ll end up being cumbersome and fall straight into them. It always causes me to be in a dilemma to where I have driven myself into a spasmodic way and make me breakdown into tears.

Also brigands scare me. I don’t think I would know what to do if I ever got robbed and walked in on it happening. I would most likely be so over dramatic that I would get the top of the line commandeer to handle the situation.

I also am scared of doing something wrong and getting admonished by a teacher. I always seem to get into deadlocks with other student when they think that they’re opinion is the only opinion that matters. I really hate it when people are so opinionated. I’d probably end up crying if a teacher ever did scold me for not relinquishing my opinion.

10/6/16 First Crush

My first crush was Blake. I started liking him in 1st grade when we played on the playground together. I ended up liking him until the end of 4th grade. We were rivals on the play ground. We would always play a game we made up with our friends called girls VS boys. Which was basically any game that involved competition or a challenge. At the time, we both were the leaders of our so called groups. We would play tag, soccer, football, basketball, anything really. I would always try to get his attention by teasing him and saying I was faster than him.

I remember that I was a cheerleader and he was a football player. So he played with my cousin and afterwards my family and his family would go out to eat together. Our families would always tease us because we had both liked each other but we didn’t know that we did.

I can remember whenever we would do classwork with a partner we would always work together and he would pull my hair to make me mad or he would take my pencil and throw it so I would have to ran and get it before he would. Sometimes he would chase me around the play ground trying to race me. We would always tease each other or make each other mad.
