Writing reflection

At first I really hated writing, and now some time I still do. Writing make me feel good when ever I have something to inspirer me, like right now I have something that inspirer me.

But sometime it will get very frustrated or stuck and got nothing to write. But when ever that happen I just close my book, and listen to music or go find something else to do. Like right now I'm kind of stuck and don't know what to write so see you latter.

Reading reflection

This is what I used to be when it come to reading. I used to hated reading, I'll try to think of anyway I can get out of reading, and the only time I read was in class and I was force to read.

For example when ever I don't want to read I either skip pages or write down half of the amount of pages down on my reading log, and I used to judge the books by it cover.

Then I found this book in the library it called Skeleton Creek, it about 2 teen want to discover a haunted dredge, and they have to put their live on the line.

What make me like about this book is when ever you finish a chapter or two, they give you a website to go on and see what happen. That's the first time in my life I really like reading, and I finish the book in a week.

After that I really like reading, and I goes to library and look for books. This goes out to people that really hate reading, some time you couldn't find a book that you like, don't give up and keep looking for the right one.

The Spanish American War

The Spanish American War is not a just war, because it is not reasonable to declare, it is not fair to Cuba and Spain, and it shows no justice. The Spanish American War is not reasonable,because the U.S sent U.S.S Maine to help Cuba to get its independence, but it exploded.There is not enough evidences to prove that Spain did it,and those medias wanted to earn more money by spreading fake news about the Maine.American imperialists get a very good chance to call for the war.Although President Mckinley didn't want war with Spain, but the majority of Americans truly believed Spain did it, so President Mckinley was forced to declare the war with Spain in 1898. The Spanish American War is fair, because U.S took over Spanish foreign colonies after the war, and forcing Cuba to accept Platt Amendment.This makes Cubans feel mad and angry, some of them even believe U.S is fighting for Cuban economic and money. The Spanish American War is not justified, because it left Cuba in chaos after the war, the government is a mess,sanitation was nonexistent,and disease was spreading like wildlife.In that time, Cuba doesn't have money in poor condition and useless government.

Food Inc.

I watched this documentary film called Food Inc. about the way farmers and companies treat the animals. In the film, they were talking about why some farmers feed animals with chemicals. How does it infect consumers, and the animals? They showed this part how the chickens were so weak that they couldn't walk. They just sat there and ate. Then they showed this part when the people that work for the companies came and collected the chickens. The people that work for the companies kicked them around; I felt bad for the chickens.
I think you don't want to hear about this next part about the cows because trust me, after you hear this you won't want to eat meat. The cows have e-coli because the food industry feeds them with corn, and corn makes the cows fatter, and the y put the cows in one place.
After I watched this documentary film, I went home , and I was thinking "should I eat meat or not? I don't want to get e-coli." After 10 minutes, I still didn't get my answer.Then I started to get hungry , and I couldn't hold it anymore so I just ate it.

Why is African American and Latino graduating percent lower than others ?

Barely half of African American and Latino students graduate from high school,with Latino graduating at 55%, African American at 51%, and White students at 76%.

Why is the percentage of students graduate from high school of each race so different? It is not exactly the right number,because in some schools there are might more African American students than white students, and other schools might be different. It affects the percentage of graduation,if there are more African Americans in a school, the percentage of graduate of African Americans would be lower or higher.
This made me think of the movie I saw before break about the Little Rock Nine, and most of the white kids in the school were in the AP classes, remainder classes, white and black were in a different neighborhood, for example white neighborhood are cleaner than black neighborhood. Black neighborhood they have abandon houses and the places that they live are smaller than most houses. Is this why African American and Latinos graduating lower than white and Asian?
I think the problem that they don't get the support they need, because their parent did not graduate from high school, and because they don't believe in themselves of their children.
