 Happy Valentine’s Day! xoxo

    Today was a different day. Mr.Rease didn't teach us; instead another lady did. Unfortunately, I forgot her name. Her overall lesson for us today was on the topic of oppression. That's what we wrote about for our bell ringer. The question was asking what oppression was.  I said that oppression is the suppression of one group by another and gave a few examples.  These examples included ageism, racism, and classism; which were all subjects of prejudice which is the biggest reason for oppression. After we read and analyzed her favorite poem which was Harlem by Langston Hughes.  Harlem was about what happens to dreams that we don't pursue.  We discussed and talked about that poem as well as shared some opinions about oppression in the black community.  In the end, she asked us what are dreams were and to write them down on a heart shaped paper.  I wrote mine in the form of a poem which basically said that I dream to share my artistic visions to the world through film.

Writing Prompts from Cheryl Strayed. (1. inappropriate for the occation) 4/21/23

 It'd had been the summer of 2014 and I was over at my grandma's.  As you get older, an unspoken expectation of you gets larger.  In this case, the expectation had been knowing how to carry myself at my grandmother's church without having to be corrected.  Back when I did go to church, I dressed formal but it wasn't strict because It was my mom's church.  The difference between my mom and my grandma's church was simply demographic, and my grandma's church was full of old or conservative Jamaicans.  I decided that one morning I would wear some shorts and a tank top after the service was over which my grandma didn't approve of.  I ended up having to go home; I wasn't complaining though.

Reflection Jan/20/23

 In class, Mr.Rease gave us a writing prompt. We had to think of a topic that we thought was overrated. The topic I went with was “wanting to fitting in”.  We then had to come up with five points to go with the main topic. My subtopics were: insecure, dependent, bad clout, superficial, and temporary. Of course, we had to elaborate on those subtopics. We put them in a graph where theres a circle in the middle and the small circles extending from it. Next week we’ll turn them into essays.
