My topic for this Essay thing!>>>

Well i picked topic number 3. I chose this because i think that war was the only way slavery would end, and if no one would take a stand and say this is wrong it would still be going on. I feel that war even though it is bad that who sides in one county world fight but if one side doesn't open its eyes to what is going on then something must happened! Many people before these people worked so hard as in making this country and for a a group of people wanting to destroy it there must be some what of an order. Even though it was very sad that even own families were fighting there was something wrong with what was going on. I feel that with all that was going on and all the thing that lead up to it war was the only way to get out of this.

Chapter ONCE--->> aka Eleven*in espanol^_^

okay my current American Lit reader! lets see my weekend totally burnt my brain OUT! jajaja i need need another day to recover...jiji! Well lets see i like this chapter it was pretty chill it all starts out pretty good with Douglass getting money even though it was only 3 bucks that's okay. I mean we all start some where. I believe there was only one part that disturbed me and it was when Mr. Auld got mad because Douglass paid him a day later. I mean even though Douglass is the one working he still still has to pay that freak!>>>Doesn't make sense! Well then came a Very Berry Special day *September 3rd*>>>remember it! He ran away!  wwwooohoo!! yeah that's whats its all about! Get that respect!

      well moving on...So this guy aka>> Douglass goes to a place known as New York (north to be exact). So he gets there and obviously doesn't know a soul in sight! But everyone makes friends so he made a friend known as Mr. David Rugglas!:]] So he take him in and tell him to go to a place called New Bed Ford Massachusetts. So time passes and this man aka>> Douglass meets this lovely women known as Anna, and they get married in New Bed Ford. This cheered me up so much! I mean today(Monday) is so gloomy and i mean chill butt boring so it was a good highlight to my day.I think its a great ending to this chapter because he is finally free and he is starting out a new begging. Its like if he was born again and he has a wife by his side, its just all amazing!♥♥♥Love= Happiness!

pg 40-52!! Very Very long!

So this was very long! I was getting a little confusing on what was going on. But i got it after reading it for like an hour and a half!! So lets see it all starts that Mr. Covey stops whipping him:) that's nice i mean he must be way happy he has some what of a power. The thing that really surprised me was that they would actually be nice enough to let them get some what a rest for the days between Christmas and new years. I feel that it was really wrong that the stupid<<< masters would make them get drunk and just enjoy seeing them get all wasted! like what the heck yo! That is just wrong you torture them enough let them rest!!! This got me mad! When he moved to Mr. Hopkins that sucked because he was a mean ANIMAL too!! I swear these stupid masters thought the slaves were just a piece of worthlessness but they were the ones being animals not respecting man kind and just using them to their benefit!! He then returned to Mr. Freeland house and that was nice he never really beat them or anything. So on pg 44 like the last paragraphs>> It starts to talk about how Douglass, Henry, and John want to escape. And it starts talking about their plan which seems pretty easy but they just don't know what they have to really go threw. Henry and John seem like the people that would actually run away just because of the fact that they weren't dumb and they wanted more then just being slaves for the rest of their lives. Which is nice. So the day come where they will be "running away" So this obviously does not succeed and they get caught before they even did it. I totally think those two people talking to the white men were the ones who told them. Well they went to jail. And the thing that really shocked me about this is that they said it wasn't that bad the only bad thing was the living condition and the fact that they didn't get much to eat. But think about it...how could you think jail is nice?  So it got me mad how Mrs. Freeland comes and gets Henry and John and she blames it all on Douglass i mean those two other idiots have brains think with its not like he forced them to run away!! Well any way they both get out and leave him alone. So he stays there for a while and then his Master finally come and gets him. (I have a question....How long was he there??? a little confused....) anyways... He goes to a Baltimore plantation place and there he gets beat by a whole bunch of people!! And then he goes back to his masters house Mr. Hugh and i thought it was nice how his mistress took care of Douglass and how the master didn't want him go back. That's nice.:] Then at the end it starts talking how he actually gets paid now thats nicetoo:]] good ending.. But then again super long story!! :]]



questions:

1.What was so important about getting Drink on Christmas

2.What motivated Douglass to keep learning when he knew he would get in trouble.

chapter 8 - pg 40*

YO YO YO!! So these chapters were very chill.. kind of long. Chapter 8 was just about how his master died and how he was put in the valuation with the land and animals and all. It kind of shocked me that they would put the slaves with the whole land thing to, like they seriously looked at them like a shovel or something like that. I was happy though that he didn't end up going with the mean son, master Andew. It kind of shocked me that Mrs. Lucretia died right away and right after her, Master Andrew died too. It was kind of strange how it hit every one at the same time. So they were left to Mrs. Lucretia's husband who didn't really have much but was left in possession of everything because everyone else had died. I could understand why at that point Douglass was thinking of running away because he pretty much just flopping from person to person like a piece of clothing or something. In chapter 9 he moves back to Colonel Lloyd's which kind of surprised me to, because he changed so much and didn't have that connection with Douglass any more which is sad because i feel he had hopes to still have a connection, some what of a friendship with him. in chapter 10 he goes to a Mr. Coveys field place, and this man omg, is so mean! He would whip him so much and leave bump on poor Douglass!! And this was really the first times where he got whipped this bad! It was also the flirt plantation he was on field work. It was so sad how the stupid master dude just kept kicking Douglass when he was in pain. And it got me mad how he went to the min master and asked for a switch and all he said is to go back and didnt care about how he felt.  These chapters just got me mad and i didnt really enjoy them. But i still think its a good story to read.:]]

Reaction 5-7 October 6th 2010

The more i read this story the more i realize that America ignores the fact we did so much harm the African Americans. In these three chapters certain things stood out to me like in chapter 5 it was saying he got close to his master and he wouldn't do much hard field work but just heard cows, clean the garden an house. It was also very sad how the little kids would get fed and what they had to wear threw the winter and summer. I also thought it was very sad how they would travel on ship especially after seeing that video in Mr. Garcia's. In chapter 6 the thing that sticks out to me is his new Mistress, she was so nice to him and even started teaching him stuff like the A B C's. The big thing that stood out to me was when Mrs. Alud started to yell at Alas (pg 24 paragraph 3) and starts telling her this and that about African Americans that they don't deserve to know anything and if you give them a little they will over rule you. This i think is what struck him the most and gave him the motivation to say i can do this and prove to you i can be better then you. In chapter 7  it talks about how his mistress would still teach him even though she knew she would get in trouble and he soon started reading and putting words together and he pushed him self to write. Which was a great ending to chapter 7:]]

Amistad Ship

The amistad ship was very sad. I thought it was crazy how they would just throw them over board how could they just do that. I thought it was very sad how if they had their baby with them they still had to go through all the torture. And how they would feed them was just so sad. I think this topic is interesting to learn about i guess, but at the same time i don't really want to learn about it. I think i would not jump off the ship because i wouldn't want to give up and make my self die. But then again they went through so much maybe they would loose hope about life and they thought they were never going to get out of the trouble they were in. If i had my baby on board with me i would do all i could to give it food and give it what ever type of food i could to keep it alive. I think that if my baby would die i would loose a lot of hope but i would keep going on with life. I don't see why they would get so many slaves and then just throw them off board. That a waste of time and they just get them to make them suffer and have them die in water. This was way to sad but i think it helps that we learn about it.

My Reaction-->>Chapter 2-4

Well i read threw the chapters an they were quite simple and easy to understand the plot.I think it was real harsh how they would treat them. And the one thing that would really chock mi is the conditions and what they had to go threw every single one of those days. it said on pg 14 paragraph 2- they got an allowance, but what kind of allowance is getting a couple pieces of meat and a couple pieces of clothing. They got one jacket and that was for everything so by the time winter came it was probably all worn out. Another thing that really shocked me is that thy didn't even have beds to sleep on! What kind of torture is that!!:[ Another thing that stuck out to me was that children from 7 to 10 years old would hardly ever get clothing to put on since they didn't really work!! Dang this story real sad. It nice to know what happened but this is just to much! Also another thing that really stood out was the fact that killing a black person was normal and not a crime! Its never right to kill any one! And the masters thought they were amazing just because they had money and were white! It shocked mi how the masters of the slaves would enjoy hitting people and torturing them for what ever reason! I like this book yet don't because it is just too sad.

My Reaction--->>Chapter 1, October 4th 2010

Well i think that they did two letters because they wanted to see what other people thought about the writing. Also the people that did the letters  had two different points of views. I think this helped because people always want to know what other people think about a certain writing. Chapter one was pretty chill. It talked about his life and all and about his mom and dad. I thought it was a good begging and i actually understood it for once. I liked how it talked about all the important people to him first so you know who the story is about and what they all went threw. It is sad of what all he had to go threw and how certain people don't even know how old they are. This seems like its going to be a pretty good story, and something more interesting then Common Sense. Its also way sad how they take the moms away from their children once they reach 1 months old. I feel this story may be very sad, but it will also be more interesting to learn more about the slaves and what all they had to go there from their point of view.

But homecoming was amazing!:]] had a blast. We went to go eat to TGI Fridays and i did end up going with Juan he goes to Eaton and he was making fun of the fact we still were celebrating even though we lost.
