Short story response number 2

The story that i liked was the Martin Luther King one. Which is called Letter from Birmingham Jail. Martin Luther King who is in jail when he writes this letter is writing to the people why he is in jail. He also writes the letter so the critics can not say he started a violent march and things like that. King wants to be seen like a martyr in a way, in the way he marches, how many people were sprayed with water and dogs chased them. I really liked the part in which he compares himself to the Apostle Paul. He says this because the apostle Paul left his village to teach other villages about Christianity. King is similar he left his hometown to help people all over the south with segregation. I do not like the part of the critics they were saying a lot on how the marches were bad they were talking about how they were happy that the police stopped it. I think that King's march was probably very peaceful and they should not have stopped it. Overall I think this was a good time to read this story right after his holiday. In which we get a day off.

KIng Still King???

Martin Luther King Jr. his name I have heard many times. The question is, is he still relevant to us? My answer is sometimes he is. During grammar school I remember learning about what he did and his life. I guess I learned that so we could know why we got that day off. Nowadays like as high school students we really do not really talk about him. I guess the thing that still is here today from his era is the civil disobedience. How he boycotted the Montgomery public transportation that was very organized for his part. We know march without violence unlike other countries where they throw rocks, and eggs. Also, they like have a lot of violence like guns. We also do not mention his name because our country has equality in ethnicity. When they do not have equality they march peacefully. I think he is somewhat of a King, but is still not like we talk about him everyday. I think we remember his boycott and also the "I have a dream" speech and the march in Washington. I think all we care is not who he was, but because we get a day off. Other than that I think King is still sort of a King.

Short story response

Well for this blog post we have to respond to one of the short stories we read. I think the best one was Children of the sea by Edwig Danticat. So during class when Mr.McCarthy told us about reading we were all like ughhhh. Then during class we started reading the story and it got us all interested in the story. I mean when I got home first thing I did was read this story. The story had everything you need action, then the all sort of sending letters to each other was very good too. This story was very good I just kept on reading I still wonder what happened after the story like did he survive? Or did he die? Did they eventually find each other? Also, this story had good description and good details. He picked a very good story to not only start the year, but also this section. This story has good themes like when it is explaining how the girl sacrificed herself and her daughter to the gods. That theme would be sacrifice for others. this makes everybody want to read more of her stories. Also, read that book that Mr.McCarthy has of Edwig Danticat.
