Service Learning!!!

D. Through service learning I have learned the following about myself:

Through service learning I have learned a lot about myself. I think that the most important thing that I learned about myself was being patient and not waiting to the last minute to do certain tasks. I think that when you are in a very large group of people you have to learn to listen to everyone and there point of view on the situation....

service Learning!!!!

I have learned a lot about our groups topic and how so many children(young) are dying and become very ill from cancer. I have learned a lot about myself through service learning, i have learned that I can do it as long as I just put my mind to it. If I were in charge of this group I would have planned a much larger fundraiser and had more people and organizations come out and support my group..

SERVICE LEARNING!!!!!!

I am very very interested in completing 15 hours for my service learning project. I have looked on the internet and searched for ideas and I really only found to that I was interested in. One was child care providing because I love children and two was helping out my community. I cannot wait until service learning began. I am also interested in working with Bridget.

NHD REFLECTION!!!

I feel that the NHD project was very stressful and was a lot of work even though we had three months to complete the project. I thought by writing a paper it would have been the easy way out but is wasn't, it was just as stressful as the documentary, exhibit, and performance. One thing that I learned from this project was organization and time management.I am just so glad that NHD is over and I do not want to see it again until next year. I hope that my school mates and I do well in the competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!

My grade!!!!!!!!

I believe that my grade in english is an A for three reason. My first reason is that I do all of my work and I participate in class when asked to. My second reason why I think I have a an A in english because I complete all my assignments and I do what I am suppose to do when I am suppose to do it. My last reason why I think I have an A in english because I am a very good student and I just deserve it. This is why I think I should get an A in english class.

Zora Neale Hurston

BIRTHDATE: Jan. 7, 1891?
EDUCATION: Graduated from Morgan Academy (high school division of Morgan College (now Morgan State University) in 1918. Attended Howard University and received her B.A. in anthropology from Barnard College, Columbia University in 1928.
FAMILY BACKGROUND: Her father was a Baptist preacher, tenant farmer, and carpenter. At age three her family moved to Eatonville, Fla., the first incorporated black community in America, of which her father would become mayor. In her writings she would glorify Eatonville as a utopia where black Americans could live independent of the prejudices of white society.
DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: A novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist, Zora Neale Hurston was the prototypical authority on black culture from the Harlem Renaissance. In this artistic movement of the 1920s black artists moved from traditional dialectical works and imitation of white writers to explore their own culture and affirm pride in their race. Zora Neale Hurston pursued this objective by combining literature with anthropology. She first gained attention with her short stories such as "John Redding Goes to Sea" and "Spunk" which appeared in black literary magazines. After several years of anthropological research financed through grants and fellowships, Zora Neale Hurston's first novel Jonah's Gourd Vine was published in 1934 to critical success. In 1935, her book Mules and Men, which investigated voodoo practices in black communities in Florida and New Orleans, also brought her kudos.
The year 1937 saw the publication of what is considered Hurston's greatest novel Their Eyes Watching God. And the following year her travelogue and study of Caribbean voodoo Tell My Horse was published. It received mixed reviews, as did her 1939 novel Moses, Man of the Mountain. Her autobiography Dust Tracks on a Road was a commercial success in 1942, despite its overall absurdness, and her final novel Seraph on the Suwanee, published in 1948, was a critical failure.
Zora Neale Hurston was a utopian, who held that black Americans could attain sovereignty from white American society and all its bigotry, as proven by her hometown of Eatonville. Never in her works did she address the issue of racism of whites toward blacks, and as this became a nascent theme among black writers in the post World War II ear of civil rights, Hurston's literary influence faded. She further scathed her own reputation by railing the civil rights movement and supporting ultraconservative politicians. She died in poverty and obscurity.
DATE OF DEATH: Jan. 28, 1960.
PLACE OF DEATH: Fort Pierce, Fla.

Should Parents Be Allowed To Hit Their Children??

Should parents be allowed to hit their children? Why? I think parents should be able to hit their children but their should be a limit to how you hit them and what you hit them with. Three reasons why parents should be allowed to hit their children is to show discipline/ control, limitations on how far you should go, and to show who is boss.



My first reason why I think parents should hit their children because of control. When parents use control they show who is boss. Also it keeps them out of trouble.




My second reason why parents should hit their children but I do not think you should go past the hitting with the hand and the belt. I think if you go further than that, then that is abuse.




My last reason why you should beat your kids because you should not be able to go to far with hurting your child. Such as a bat/ stick, and a cord. In a book that I am reading “Huckleberry Finn”. Jim’s father hits him and cursed at him, which was to me on the boarder line of beating you child vs. abusing your child.



In conclusion this is why I think parents should be able to beat their children because it is to show who is boss and it show discipline.

Do You Think Huck Finn Should Be In CHS????

Do you think Huck Finn should be taught in CHS? I don’t think Huck Finn should be taught in CHS for three reasons. Three reasons why I think Huck Finn should not be taught in CHS because he is very disrespectful and has no home training. He uses poor language, and he sets and bad example.





Huck Finn is a very disrespectful boy who has no home training. Huck Finn smokes, drinks, sneaks out of the house, and does what he wants when he wants. For example in the book, Miss Watson who was a character in the story Huckleberry Finn who was a foster parent of Huck Finn had to keep saying “don’t put your feet up there Huckleberry”, “Don’t scrunch up like that Huckleberry-set up straight”, “and don’t gap and stretch like that”. Miss Watson had to keep repeating herself as if Huck Finn was a child.



Another reason why Huck Finn should not be taught at CHS is because of his language. In this book there is a lot of usage of the “N” word. For example “By and by they fetched the nigger in and had players”.



My last reason why Huck Finn should not be taught in CHs is because this book sets a bad example. This book deals with a lot of bad language. One example from he story is in one chapter of the book it says” Niggers would come from all around there and give Jim anything.




In conclusion, this is why I think that Huck Finn should not be taught in CHS because of the fact that he is disrespectful, has poor language, and sets a very bad example for CHS students. After reading my reading my essay do you still think that Huck Finn should be taught in CHS? Why?

Philosophy of Government 1

Should a videogame that deals with shooting and killing people be legal? I believe government is necessary in a society because we need a system to make and enforce laws for the country. I believe we have the freedom of speech and the right to do what we want but only to a certain point. The Grand Auto Theft incident video games is a game in which you could decapitate police officers, kill them with a sniper rifle, massacre them with a chainsaw, and set them on fire. Two weeks ago, a multi-million dollar lawsuit was filed in Alabama against the makers and marketers of Grand Theft Auto, claiming that months of playing the game led a teenager to go on a rampage and kill three men two of them police officers.
In the Grand Theft Auto incident that I just mentioned, I don’t think it would be fair to punish the majority who can handle playing violent video games without killing. I think it has gone to far because of the fact that people are killing each other and they are blaming it on a game. I do not think if you play this game then you just start going out and killing people. I think that if someone goes out and kills someone then they already had there mind set to kill them, its not because the game to told them to do it. If I had to pick between Hobbes and Locke I think I will pick Locke. I chose Locke because Locke believed that before society was organized, humans lived in a state of equality and freedom rather than a state of war. Locke also believed that in this state of nature, humans had certain natural rights- rights with which they were born. These included rights to life, liberty, and property. I think personal freedom is more important than equality.
I think I agree more with Locke more than Hobbes because Locke seemed to me more of a better person. Locke was not an advocate of democracy, but his ideas proved important to both Americans and French in the eighteenth century. These ideas were used to support demands for constitutional government, the rule of law, and the protection of rights. I do not think that we are naturally good and cooperative, as Locke would suggest. I also think that we tend to be selfish, nasty, and brutish according to Hobbes.
Take for example, the Jena 6 incident, in which two black students sat under the “white tree” at Jena High School. The next day, white students hung three nooses from the tree. The noose-hangers got a three-day suspension. Several incidents of violence and threats against went unpunished. But when a white student got beaten up after taunting a black victim of violence, everything changed. Charges were filed against the black boys and they were sent to prison as adults, while the white students only got a three-day suspension.
I think society does benefit most from self- interest because all they are dong is caring for there needs and there wants, and they only care about there own needs and desires.
I think we should have limitations because if we were free to do what we want then we would be totally out of control. I think equality is more important than freedom because when you have freedom people take it for granted. And with equality everybody gets treated the same. This is why I think government is necessary.

Philosophy of Government 2

Based on the simulations I think freedom is more important than security. In the ideal society I wanted the ichip to be banned because I believe that ichips should not be placed in anyone’s head. I believe that is a violation of someone’s privacy. The Constitution does/effectively balance freedom of individuals with security of the individuals because during the ideal Society tracking Americans was made illegal, A bill was passed that banned the ichip, and citizens was protesting.


Tracking Americans was made illegal because that is a violation of someone’s privacy. The powers that are described in the Constitution are in the Fourth Amendment. To achieve the goal, actions was taken and a bill was written stating that “thou shall not be able to create a mechanical device to track or listen to anyone’s thoughts. If anyone would like to get this ichip it will be at there own risk of their privacy being invaded and that apple can only use the ichip for accessing computers and any other mechanical device”. The president agreed with Congress and signed the bill into law.

A bill was passed that banned the ichip. A Power that was described in the Constitution was Article 1. To achieve the goal the actions taken was that the President did not implement law, and a press conference was called. The President signs the bill.


Citizens were protesting that the ichip should be banned. To achieve the goal the actions taken was the ichip was no longer used as a tracking device. The Tracking device was completely turned off by the Apple Co. The bill went through congress and the President signed the bill.


The Constitution was effectively protect individual liberties because during the ideal Society tracking Americans was made illegal, Bill was passed that banned the ichip, and citizens was protesting.
