My pastor has shaped my world view. I have never become disillusioned in any way about how God does his work. I feel that God has a better life for everyone if they believe in him. My pastor has been a big influence on me about my life. He teaches me that it does not matter how much wrong I do God is a forgiving God and he will never do anything to hurt me. For example, if I lied to my professor about why I did not come to class or said some hurtful things to a person he will forgive me. He is all about giving second chance. My pastor will always ask this question if God can forgive us a hundreds time why can’t we forgive others one time.

Prompt # 7

After reading this book the truth will away be the truth. This is not a true war story, but I believe some of the things in the book he was saying is things that happen in the war. I would recommend this book because it’s great and leave you wondering what’s going to happen next. Great selection Mrs. Aiken!!!!!!!

Prompt # 6

Lt. Jimmy Cross is a great example because he so in love with Martha he could not focus on the war nor his soldiers. The evidence to follow this is when Ted Lavender died he felt it was his fault because he was so focus on what was Martha was doing in school and not how his soldiers was feeling. Even when Lavender died, his mind was still wondering off about Martha.

Prompt # 4

The Dentist was my favorite story in the book. The reason I like the dentist because Curt Lemon was so brave, but when it was time for to go to tent to get cleaning he fainted. It’s just show everyone has something they are scared of. Friends were my least favorite because they were not true friend. I feel that just started like each other because there was no way for them to avoid each other. I loved the book as a whole because I love books that leaving what going to happen next. Tim O’Brien is the one I felt sorry for because he drafted into a war that he hated.

Prompt # 2

When reading, The Things They Carried, I believe it was true. The way I would explain this is something like a movie where the directors try to point out all major events. In this book you will be left wondering is this really true or is something he wanted to throw in to get his reader off track. I would tell the class not to pay attention to the big events that happen throughout this book because to me he is trying to keep his reader reading so something has to happen extraordinary. They should pay attention to the small events.

Prompt # 1

Precious is a recent a movie based on a true story. Precious is a heartbreaking movie this young lady name Precious is rape by her father at a young which continue throughout her teenager life and she has two baby by her father one has down syndrome. Her mother hate her because she felt her husband love their daughter more than he love her, Precious mother, Mary Jones was REAL brutal to her daughter. My opinion on this movie was dang this really happen in America. Mary Jones should have gone to police instead of treating Precious is she lower than dirt on ground. I feel this movie open up something new to the world and will let girls like Precious open up to situations they are in. This movie enhanced my viewing “based on a true story”, because while watching the movie the actress in the movie I could really see the pain in each everyone eyes.

When I hear about a “BIRTHDAY PARTY” I get all excited because I know it’s going to be nothing, but fun. It’s a day I want forget because it’s my day. Even though it comes once a year every year; not one birthday is the same. The only things I think about are getting all dolled up and seeing all my friends and family. I never think about being mean just because it’s my birthday I just want my day to be a great day, something I can remember for a life time. On January 15, 2010 the only thing that was on my mind was just helping my friend celebrate her twenty birthday. I never thought about being in a situation where I would be treated as a stranger. I never thought her day would bring life changes to a friendship that had nothing, but love. I didn’t think a day that you are suppose rejoice would bring hatred to a friendship I once adored.

HEART IN CONFLICT

The Color Purple is a magnificent novel written by Alice Walker. This novel is written in Ebonics. It pulls the audience in by the harsh ways black woman’s are treat by the ones that claims they love them. This novel has many characters in it that are abuse by someone that has the upper hand in the relationship, but I will only use one character. Celie is a young teenager who has to take care of her younger sibling because is not able to do health failure. Celie is molested by her father, who tells her that if she told anyone about it he would kill her. During the sexually abused Celie gives birth to two babies (two different occasions). Her father gives the babies away to a pastor and his wife, Celie has no clue where her babies are. This doesn’t even begin to tell Celie life. She is sold to an older man who already has a family. The older man only wants her for three things: SEX, RASING HIS KIDS, AND TAKING CARE OF HIS HOME. Celie is just a teenager herself! Celie hates the life her father has created for her. At the same time the life he has created for her is all she knows. Celie is young free non educated women who live with a man who treat her like a servant. The older man want Celie do whatever he say do whenever he say it. She knows it’s a better life out there and she would like to live in world where the grass greener on the other side

Memories

GRADUATION!! In the year of 2006, my best friends, sisters, and partners in crime graduate. The high school I attended always did a senior walk every year at the end of school year (a senior walk is when every senior walk the hall for the last time). I was in tenth grade it never hit me that my buddies was really going to be graduating in May. When I saw my buddies walking down first hall I got the sick to my stomach it hurt me so much to know they wasn’t staying with me and I wasn’t going with them. We did everything together from skipping school to making up reason why we didn’t make it in before curfew. I love them so much it was like losing a piece of me. The worst thing is knowing the ones I love so much would be leaving for college and we all would be living difference lives. Spending everyday with someone for numerous of years to only seeing a person only on major holiday would make a person go insane. As I write this bring tears to my eyes because just knowing how much I love friends and how much we grew apart just so we can be successful woman. I love all my friends so much and I know one we are all going to be reuniting as successful college graduate/career women raising great kids and telling them about our teen years.
