we are equal

The Thesis I have chosen for the three stories is or point in society we are in the end only human. Why I chose this thesis is to show that the racism needs to end here. we are all equal no matter how you look at it we can all die the same way and we all breathe and live the same way so why do we treat each other so different is it because of territorial issue’s because if that is the case we shouldn’t even be freaking out about it because we weren't even the first people here we kicked out the Indians

Thesis: It doesn’t matter your race color or level in society because in
Thesis: It doesn't matter your race color or level in society because in the end we are all human

The statement above is something I agree with completely for a few reasons and im going to break those reasons up one at a time to show you what I mean
1st) we see it all around us everyday using racism to exclude others why we do this I don’t know but a study showed that people are doing it for a self defense territorial issues. My opinion on it is that it is just plain dumb. I thought maybe it had do to something with human nature and we do it to put others down to make ourselves feel better or more important. One way we really see racism today is after 9/11 people thought that Indian cultured people were all bad and let’s throw them out of the country when that is not how it should be those people mourned with us when it happened and we prosecuted them for it. We look at war times with Nagasaki and Hiroshima what did we do to the Japanese people when they bombed pearl harbor we put them in our own version of the concentration camps that we thought were so bad with the Nazi’s. we see it in our government and society daily and it needs to stop.

2nd) levels in society now that is something that just chaps my chassis because people thinking they are better people just because they have more money. Those are the kind of people that make me sick. They obviously don’t see or appreciate the human life and seeing how beautiful people are inside and it is kind of sad that they don’t see that when they cant understand the lower life people and how they feel sometimes I wish that rich people could have their lives switched with those they think are so bad and just because they are higher in society and rich doesn’t mean anything we are still equals and still human.

3rd) In the end we are all human. We all know this is true even though we don’t act like it we all act like we are the best but in the heart we all know we are just a human and can all die the same way as everyone else can. The only problem is. We don’t see that what we see is oh I’m much better that that guy and his family because I drive a better truck or I have the best TV. It’s funny because I look at some adults like this as little kids because when we were little all our parents taught us was it doesn’t matter who has the best this or that. They are a person just like you and just like Horton the elephant said “A persons a person no matter how small” (Doctor Seuss “Horton hears a who”) and if you think about it its very true. No matter how rich you become or how important you think you are you are still just a person like the others you are picking on and that just isn’t right

In the story “what you pawn I will redeem by Sherman Alexei” all the Indians in the story are homeless or poor. Everyone in the story looks down on them just because of their race and the funny thing above tit all is we are the ones who took their land and disrespected their beliefs. In another story by Marmon Silko titled “lullaby” a younger Mexican lady is taken advantage of because she can’t speak English the government comes and tell her to sign a document. She does and she doesn’t understand that they had her sign it so that they could take her children away and I think things like that are stupid because I know they happen in real life and no on takes the time to make sure it doesn’t happen. Anyways the young lady feels horrible about giving her children away she lets her husband chato know and chato is angry not at her because she didn’t understand but mad at the people for taking advantage of a non-English speaking lady. Again in “woman hollering creek by Sandra Cisneros” we see a man take advantage of his wife by beating her. Some of you may wonder why I bring this up. I bring this up because it isn’t right that he does this and takes control of her like that just because she Is a woman. In the story the way that the man acts says that he feels he is in a higher part of society being a man and therefore beats her.

well still nothing excititng other than i might be getting a mac book for my college stuff which should be pretty exciting but probably not because what i want to do is kind of expensive and takes a while to learn if you cant memorize things very well but that is the exact reason why i am going to be doing dub step music because it's what i love i also really want to be a DJ so even if i don't make it big in the music world i can just be a DJ for shows around the world. For who ever needs me i got and invitation to a track and Field things but i don't think i am going to go because i can concentrate my money on different things like my schooling and music stuff.

Response paper on clothes

So this story clothes is a story about a girl in an arranged marriage to a man in America she has waited all her life to do this just like her grandma she is a little scared at first but comes close to the man she loves when she gets there she realizes that the man she is going to marry and live with also lives with his parents. He finds out she is very uncomfortable with him touching her in any inappropriate ways..... anyways back to a different topic. Her husband she marries is also the owner of a 7/11 which she loves and think is just so neat for her to experience she sends so many letters to her family about her experience there and the things she is learn. she loves the man she is to be married to because buys her all kinds of things event hings that his parents don't approve of like the clothes the Americans wear which are very different from the ones she wears back home. later on in the story her husband is shot and killed and she is told to go back to her country but because of the kindness her husband showed her she decides she wants to follow in his footsteps and opens up a 7/11
The lesson here is to be nice to everyone whenever you can because you never quite know how you will effect them in life

9/14 post

well here is yet another weekly post and we all know what that means another random post about random things yay dont we all love it well this week was pretty exciting if you consider exciting sitting all day at a computer not really knowing what to do just staring into space. I would be making music instead but no the program i tried to load took 3 days to load on there and then when it was done said that my computer wasnt able to hold those files and then the stupid computer crashed and no longer works so know everything i post has to be at someone elses house and it kind of bugs me to use other peoples things or use peoples help i like to do things at my own pace which is usually no pace. yes i will admit im lazy but with that lazyness comes awesomeness but only sometimes when you do it right which sometimes doesnt work out like trying to put together a video about a unicorn but since they dont exist it is kind of hard to make considering that you just dressed up a horse with some stuff on it bad idea the horse didnt like it and kicked my camera so know its broken and i can't make my blog a vlog it is one of those sad days that never end all well

He was a pretty cool unicorn as far as unicorns go and he had a friend and her name was peanut she was a troll he found all by her self and well we went on a adventure together it was pretty freaking sweet we killed 6 dragons (which are not as tough as people make them sound) and saved a princess still have no idea where she is from and i don't think we will find out because i don't think she can talk so we just brought her along for the ride so anyways back to pierre and peanut ..................Yeah I can't do this anymore what really happened is I got to go hang with my family and we had a great time. especially when i face planted in the mud it was awesome definatly the best moment of my life. also we got a new dog yeah he is pretty awesome we name him diesel. He already knows a while bunch of tricks like paw and sit. His favorite is the paw trick first we get him to sit down the when you lift your hand up he jumps and gives you a high five its freaking epic and that is about the highlight of my week
