I manly read the writings of Louis Hughes. His life story begins as he was sold into slavery as a young boy and he gained his freedom in ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2007/01/01/post-slave-narratives/ Before I being reading the slabe narratives, I generally think that the narratives will suggest the difficulties and hard ships of slavery. Its interesting to figure that these slave narratives were written by slaves that got the chance to learn to read and write. This gave them the ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2007/01/01/slave-narratives-pre-reading/ This clip reminded me of when we discussed Iraq in American History and were asked the same questions about what to do next in Iraq. I think that the positiction the the character of Stephen Colbery is promiting is for the draft. He clearly states that we need ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/12/19/satire-blog-2/ I think that the recommendations that have been suggested in the article are a good start to reforming Iraq. I think the most important thing that the U.S. needs to do is resolve the conflict between the Arab-Israeli. In order for Iraq to stabilize, the relationships Iraq has ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/12/13/iraq-plan/ So far I have found that the book is very racist. At first I thought that maybe the racism was an exageration. Especially singe they used the n word so casually. However, after discussing it in class I learned that it was apart of the culture. ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/12/13/racism/ As I was reading this narrative some things stuck out to me. For instance what the slaves recieved as clothes and food was barely anything. The worst thought was that the children unable to work didn't get shoes, stockings, jackets, nor trousers given to them. I personally ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/12/04/frederkick-douglass/ I watched the adaptation of Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo Decaprio. I liked the movie however it was not what I was expecting. Expecially since it took place in a big modern city but they used shakespearen language. I think that the language and setting made ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/11/12/shakespeare-movie/ Being Iraq and what to do next is one of the hardest decisions our country is making at the moment. I definately think that the U.S. has made progress in Iraq however, i'm not sure if it was the right decision to go in the first place. Considering ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/11/07/iraq/ The ending of Night was not the usual ending you would expect out of such an important event. The last line of Night when Eliezer looks at himself in the mirror and sees a "corpse" is such an eye opener. I think that Elieze's attempt to survive through ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/11/01/night-4/ So far in Night there have been so many graphic scenes. Elie Weisel describes every instance so in depth. A part that stook out at me the most was when Eliezer and other people watch a man risk his life for soup. Its so sad because as ... http://alir16391.learnerblogs.org/2006/10/31/night-3/
