I think that the writer trying to give a message and express something. Sometimes what others do may affect others around them, they might not see it but they notice without you knowing. This can  influence people different , they can take it different ways. Also people probably felt the same way, sometime we all fight within our selfs. Part of ourselves want to do something but then something in us tells us no or Im not sure. There's times that people just want to get away and not see what they see. Knowing that people do things can affect a person and you see it all the time it's. hard to move on and let that pass. Also the writer wanted to point out that people stand out from the crowd and its hard to fit in with other. But that doesn't mean that you can be important to them either.

As a parent you can encourage your child to do things but you have to also give them a chance to do what they like. They do not fail on what you as a parent want but one thing that bring to that is that they might not be happy in what they are doing. As a parent you might not see that but they know what they like or dislike and when a parent wants their child to do something specific its because they didn't get to do that one thing so they would like their child to do it so they can be proud of them. I think as a parent you need to let your child explore things and see what they like not what you like because that might not bring happiness to them at all. And also when they feel that pressure they can be really hard on themselves and that can cause a big problem in their life.

Struggle to be an all American girl

1. Why is it hard for children in any culture to relate to their parents’ ideas about what’s best for them?
2. Do students typically feel a “disconnect” with their parents’ backgrounds or cultural traditions?
3. What might help students be open to learning from their parents’ experiences?

 

          They reason why it think is becuase our parents are use to being more like the people from the past and they keep with there ways so they try to keep it in the family and children like to be different and change there way of living and how they are so it's hard to do that when you have to follow your parents rules as a child. 

Some time student do feel disconnect with their parent ps becuase sometime they want to change it a little or maybe make it they way so it can be more enjoyable. Some parent stick with the same tradition but as years go by people like to change it and make it more expandable and more exciting in their new way of experiencing there feeling and other things. 

I think that they can learn by not doing a mistake they did because they know the turn out if that mistake so that something really good to know. 

         Some parents make mistakes and their child might do the same and they get mad but just remember they were just like you when you were that age. Parents have to understand that their children like to explore and see whatvtheyvfind and they can change, it doesn't hurt to let them learn on their own for what might be a mistake. We all have to try and see what is the outcome of things and if it's a mistake we should all learn from it.  As years go by people tend to change things to chave it different for once and people might like it that way. 

My poem

     Who you are    

A drop of fear 

there's a blessing so don't have fear 

A drop of tears 

theres resting so don't have tears 

A drop of freedom

 So stand up and say your reasons 

And say this is me and I'm not changing

The short story “The Baddest Dog in Harlem”, shows a community that has serious issues with violence, crime, and poverty.  How does living in an environment where this is a daily reality affect individuals and families?  What can people do to help end the cycle of violence, crime, and poverty?




Living in an environment where it's dangerous affect people in a lot of ways, it can make them not trust anyone or even have them not even step outside. Living around that can make people have a health problem ever because they get so nerves and scared. People can make a change and stand up, they can bring the city or even the government into this problems but you have to have evidence in what your trying to change and also have others agree with what your saying. Some people are afraid to try to fix where they live at but if you have a family that you care about And have no choice of living there well you should think of changing how things are there. I believe that anyone can make that change and it will help in so many ways and people will see that and will have the courage to to the same and once you know it then it will be pasted on.

In the essay it stated what really happens in this place called a place of freedom, most African Americans are judged and thought of a person that cause things like a crime, which I believe isn't the truth. The reason why I think that not all are like that is because it's on the individual not as a whole group. They are the same person and they don't have everything the same, just because of their color they always have to be judge And thought wrong and that is for all race too because it's not just African american that are judge and thought wrong about.
I have been in a situation and see situations that people think of you wrong just because of you color or how you look or your race. And also the thing that you so is some race talk about there own race and that something that I dislike because , why would you talk bad about your own race and point fingers like every person is the same in that race, that's not true. I believe the reason why people are still this was is becuase what their family members believed moved it on to the next family member and what they believe is tought to them and then they believe it. Once your family believe what they believe they teach you that way to believe.

I really can't think of any way you can use a camera as a weapon besides hitting it with someone but what you can do get evidence of what happen. You can take a picture of the situation of what happen that day or that moment. It can have details of what happen in case someone don't believe your word in what happen. But sometimes pictures aren't always true so you have to be careful of what you believe. Some pictures get what sometimes we can see so that would be something important to prove something. And also it can give a message to something or someone, it can express things.
