argument

I rewatched the vedio we watched in class. It kind of started to make me think about i spend my day. I go to school for 8am to whenever then home and either work or homework. Thinking about that i dont even know when i find time for myself. For example today was the first day i have had off of work for about a week now, but i still had to get up at 6am to get to school by 8am. Then i had a full day of school. I didnt even get a chance to go home right away, i have to go feed my brothers cat and check on his house since he wasnt home today. When i finily got to my house all i wanted to do was lay down and watch some t.v. But i couldnt. I have homework and other choires i had to do around the house. When i get a chance to lay down it doesnt feel long enought. I agree with the vedio with buy the txt books and not opening them, if they are brand new and still raped we should get the same about the back as we payed, but you dont. Students are spending so much money to get a degree in something which hopfully get them a good paying job. In the world today you need that college dregaee to have a good job, which in a case is good but many people cant afford that and its not fair to them.

Binta and the Great Idea

I was surprised at the end of the film when the great idea was revealed from Binta father. At first I thought it was going to be about something with technology or something in common with that. When the villagers saw the Swiss watch and was surprised that you can know what time it is and it beeps when you set the alarm. To people to day, that are living in the high technology work think that is something silly to get excited about and probably would not understand why that is such a gift to have.
Binta’s fathers great idea was to adopt a child. I honestly was shock when at the end because he is willing to sacrifice something so another child could have a chance to live with a loving family. I do agree that it is a very good idea because every child needs to have a loving home no matter how much or not enough money. As long as the child can get a education and a warm long home the child can grow up strong.
Soda’s father doesn’t want her to go to school because he thinks it is an African woman should stay at home, do all the choirs and then get married and have kids. He is an older man and is living by the way he was brought up in Africa. Her mother is behind her daughter 100% because she know how much she would have loved to have had the chance to go to school and have learn to read, write, count. She does not want her daughter to get ripped off with money just like she did or have people take advantage of her. My parents are older and they have beliefs certain things whys should be. For example, when a boy comes over to pick up the girl, he should get out of the car and walk to the door. Also they believe that you should be respectful to people even though you may not want to be.
To have Binta’s convert to our way of life would be kind of disappointing because they have many traditions that they should keep. I think its pretty cool that some places still live the way they did before all the technology that we have today. In America we have been chancing everything and trying to make life easier for us, but sometimes the simplest way of like could be better and easer.
People should learn that they shouldn’t take everything we have for granted.
This film makes me think of everything I have. I try to think about how I could go with out talking on the phone, computer, or watching T.V. Also I could never think of having to fight with my dad to go to school. I am glad that I have the opportunity to go a safe school. I have had teacher that care about me and make sure that I can go above and beyond with my schooling.

Freewrite number 1

Who am I? thinking about who I am to write about is harder than I thought it would be. I’m not too sure who I am yet. I’m only nineteen tears old, and have not totally discovered who I am. I know that I am a young girl that is shy, but at the same time out going with people that I already know and am comfortable with. I can very stubborn and I do not like to give in easily to people. When I know when I’m right about something I will fight until I make everyone believe me. I like to meet new people and I am always up for trying new things. This past summer I tried to water ski for the first time, even after the person who went before me got hurt. To my surprise I actually stood up on the first try. I am an honest human being; I like to do things certain ways. I do not like change, when change happens it scares, frustrates and upsets me. Something that helped me try to find out who I am is running cross-Country and Track. It helped me relax from my frustrations in life and made me feel like I was in a totally different world. Also I taught a special education preschool class where I helped teach six autistic boys. This helped show me ho much patience I actually have. It also helped convince me that I want to become a special education teacher. Why am in this class? The main reason why I am in this class is because it is a requirement in order for me to continue in my college career. On the other hand I am in this class because I want to learn more about writing so I can become a better writer.
