Well friday i went to a play called "The Meeting."It's about the meeting of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin  Luther King Jr. Although this play was assigned as extra credit i had already planned to go because im very much into black history and the changes that we have been through. In this play Dr. King was invited to Malcolm X's house to to talk about their differences. The play was really good and the actors were very believable. I think my favorite part is when the actors decided to arm wrestle at first i didnt get it but then I started to realize that there were so many different things that that arm wrestle could stand for. It could mean that there were showing each other who was stronger not only in the muscle sence but in the sence of book smarts. This was particular because they have to different backrounds of education Dr. King had a college education while Mr. X had only street tought  knowledge. I loved the play and i wish it was more than one scene!

Well I had a pretty interesting weekend. This weekend me and my friends had a girls night out. We decided we was going to this a while ago , but the reason i decided to write about this in my blog is because in my english class we have a writing assignment that has to be about family and im sure the first thing that pops into erveryones head is their blood relatives. I believe that family means much more than having the same DNA running through your veins. These girls mean so much to me. This weekend we went to Red Lobster to have dinner and they make me have fun no matter what. I've never had so much fun at a resturant Well it started when we were waiting for a table we were talking about peircings and tattoos and one of my friends mentioned that she doesn't like the piercings above the lip because it looks like a random booger but the fuuny thing is there was a girl sitting across from us who had one but we didnt realize till she gave us this ugly mean look which made me bust out into laughter and i had to contain myself. We were finally seated and we continued to laugh and have a good time. those girls are my family no matter what. <3

What's the world coming to !

In a paper  my english teacher had us reading this week about Eugenics. To me this is a curse and a blessing all rapped into one. Eugenics is  the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. this could be a blessing because if the doctors find something wrong with a fetus they can try to go in and genetically fix the problem. But the major down side to this is the other genetic things that can be altered such as eye color, skin tone, hair type, and many other physical traits. It may seem like a good idea at first but then reality sets in and i begin to realize that they world is already so set in how they think a person should look, So i think making these alterations to the genetic code would make everybody crazy about their apperance. In the paper the Author made a good point about not getting to know what ur child would be like if you made these changes. The bond between the offspring and the parent could be damaged by   the lack of a genetic relationship. To think that there could be a piece of your child that is not connected to you or ur spouse is crazy. Another reason this is not a good idea is because of the cost, Although they say they would make it affordable the likelyhood that everyone would be able to affordable for everyone equally. It would make things even more divided because the wealthier parents would be able to afford it which would make the other kids feel incompetent. this would not only effect looks it could also change there abilities. It could make them more musically advanced or smarter or even more phsically fit than others.This would give them an unfair advantage in college and in sports. altogether i think if there is no real medical reason for the surgury it should not be done. 

The big Decision

WELL I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO BLOG ABOUT SO FOR NOW I'M GOING TO RIGHT A LITTLE SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS LINKED TO THE CLASS ...................

Writing is a way to express ones feeling 

a way to let all be know in a way so delicate everyone who reads it will want to read just a little more 

For me writing is an escape, its a way to say thing i could never put into a conversation. It's my way of be brave i was once told as long as it comes out who cares how it's coming

Granted not all would understand my point of view but my goal is to make others open their minds even the smallest amount.

I like to write about things that could touch a special piece in every ones heart. Although i despise writing research papers I feel it brings out a side in my work that i would otherwise never know. It's a very fulfilling way to learn info your very passionate about . Although i like alot of writing styles i believe poetry is the best way to say millions worth of words in just a few stanzas. Thats another thing i like about poetry there is no right or wrong way to do it if you want to put it in stanzas you can or if you want to write it all willy nilly over the paper that can be done as well. IF ONLY ALL OF OUR ASSIGNMENTS COULD BE POEMS. (hint hint) i would never fail a assignment. i hope i get to write many more poems in my lifetime and i hope i can encourage others to write more poetry aswell .I LOVE IT !!!!!

class debate

Well for my first blog I decided to write about our first debate in class. So earlier this week Mr. Sweeney decided to let the students as a class pick the topics for our three research papers. Although this task at the beginning seemed to be an easy assignment he decided to added alittle something extra. For this particular assignment the class as a whole had to all agree on the same three topics. "Ohhh man not cool". He tried to make the topics we had to choose from broad so we could write about a plethora of sub-topics. But that made it even hard. In my class I believe there are atleast 20 students which means 20 different ideas 20 different point of views and 20 different thought processes. The only thing that ran through my mind when i rrealized how difficult this task would actually be was "What is this man thinking, is he trying to be on this one subject all semester." To begin we all decided to just simply take a vote because in our minds majority ruled but Mr.sweeney had completly different thoughts.Our voting only eliminated one of the nine topics we had to go through. After about ten minutes of deliberation and trying to pick apart other ideas we all unanimously decided the one topic we all wanted to write about was family. At this time Mr. Sweeney said he was doing this for a reason and all that what through my mind was what could possibly be the reasoning behind this confusion. So this made me begin to think of reasons; maybe its to bring the class together and get us talking, maybe it was to make us get our persuasion on, or maybe it was just to kill class time. Well the truth is i have know idea ans i dont think im going to know untill Mr. Sweeney decides to tell us lol.
