Race in america

After I read both of these articles, it really made me think how much people have gone through just to survive. Obvioulsy race was a bigger deal around 50 years ago, but it is still an issue now. What Martin Luther king jr talks about in "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is racism as a whole, how everything is segregated like water and bathrooms. It also talks about how africans americans would use non violent protest and still get arrested just because of their race. Race these days is nothing likt that. In obamas 'A More Perfect Union Speech' it talks about his life and how he had a hard time. Also how he wants to try to solve racism in amercia and everyone is one. The difference between the two speechs is how Obama wants to do this, but is not saying how he is going to do this. Martin Luther king jr actually does protest and goes to jail trying to make a difference. Not saying that Obama doesnt care but racism has been a factor for so long and everyone is going to have there own opinion about it.

Spring Break!!

For spring break Angie went no where. She stayed home literally all day and hung out. Just laid around and played some video games and did some homework. It was a good mother, daughter time. On Thursday Angie's sister came with the baby and was going to stay the rest of the week. A lot of family came over to see the baby, so it became more exciting. Then that weekend all Angie's friends came back from school on their spring break. It was good for her to see all her friends again, since she has not seen them for a while. Then sadly break came to an end, and Angie had to go back to school. It sucked even more because she went home on Sunday after the hockey team lost, so she was even more disappointed.

My Family!!

I would not be able to function with out my family. There are always there for me. I have a older brother and sister. My sister and I shared a room our whole lives till she went off to college in 2003. Every year we go on a family vacation, sadly they are starting to end. We are all getting older and my sister just had a beautiful baby girl. When we would go on our family vacations we ALWAYS drive, and i would say i have been to about 39 states in my life time. I feel that is why I am so close with my siblings becasue we were stuck in a car for days. My favorite trip would be when we went to colorado. It is so pretty and we went horseback riding through the mountains, and saw wild coyotes and moose.

A modest proposal

I really don't understand this reading but what I got out of it was, it is talking about how poor this country is, and how the kids are either beggars, or sold to people that will eat them, and then after they are eaten the bodies are used for clothing like gloves or boots. Parents are raising their kids just to be sold, to make more money until the next baby is born. It sounds like Jonathan Swift disagree with this practice and would like the country to be able to give money to the poor and not feed off children. I don't know for sure if this is what he does want to propose, but what it sounds like to me.
