I Dream a World


This poem means that he dreams a world where it dose not matter how you look or who you are.A world where everyone is free no matter what race or religion and every body is free.A world where there is no suffering or sadness and a world wherethere is no fighting or war. A world were humans help each other .I think we all have the power to make this dream come true because what we do in life can change the future.For example Martin Luther King JR changed the US and the world by fighting hard for cival rights.He gave his "I have a dream" speech in Washinton D.C. wich help African Americans get civil rights. I think if you really fight for something you belive in you can change atleast one person's life.

Race in America


Race is what makes up who you are it is important that you remember where you came from and who you are .It has an effect on what people first think of you sometimes .

In New York they are trying to build a mosc near ground zero.this has brought conterverse because people are protesting this.They think it is ofensive to build a mosc a few blocks near ground zero, because the people who crashed the airplanes on the World Trade Center where Muslim. They are saying without saying that since the terrorists where muslims then all muslims are terrorist .I think they should be able to build that mosc because it is not even that close to ground zero it is a few blocks away. The people are just being prejudice against the muslim people in New York. They have freedom of religion so they should be able to practice their religion.

In Arizona they have made an anti immigrant law called sb 1070 . This law is that if any police officer stops any person and has reson to belive that he is in this countrie elegally he has the right to ask for proof from that person to say he is legally in this countrie. The governor of Arizona said that there have been beheadings in the Arizona Mexico Boarder but when asked about that she avoided the question.They are triying to get rid of Mexicans that come over to this countrie looking for a better life.They don't like this, but america was founded by people who immagrated here .

cultural underpinnings of literature

Religion has had a big impact in our daily life because it has shaped our way of life . America was discoverd, because of religion and it is affected by the Judeo-Christian paradigm. This country was founded by religion.
Almost everything can be traced back to religion from music, art,and even food.English prodestans left England so they can practice their religion. The Judeo-Chistian Religion has shaped the US for over 200 years
Religion has not only affected the US but the entire world there are wars that have been faught because of religion. Some people do not tollerate other religions. In Germany the Nazis started illing the Jews becuse they where looking for some one to blame for what the countrie was going through after the war.The countrie was forced to turn in anybody that was a jew because of there religion.Even now there are people that dont like each other because of their religion, because they are prejiduse .
In New York there is conterversey about building a mosc near ground zero. This conterversey is because the people who crashed the airplanes on The World Tradecenter where muslims. Even though it is a few blocks down from ground zero they are still protesting against it.I think that they should let them build the mosc because they have freedom of religion so they should be able to practice there religion.One guy is going to burn the quran on 9/11. He thinks it is something he needs to do because of what hapend that day.
Religion has afected the American Southwest because it affected the indigeneus people who lived there . The americans removed them from there land because they thought it was there God given right to expand west ward.they killed and moved many Native Americans who had lived there years before them they also tried to change their ways.
Thats how religion has affected the world that we are in.It has affected our cultures our countries .Religion is a very powerful part of life ever since human started beliving in a greater power and has given us direction in life.

Show and Tell


When I was little my dad gave me a toycar, wich belonged to my older brother and it was important to me. I always played with it when I was boared or had nothing to do. Itook it every where I went because it use to belong to my older brother and he had pased away.I think it didnt mean as much to e then as it did after I lost it.

Haiku


Sometimes you are in a better place where you are than where you want to be
You have to learn to appreciate what you have in life
You dont always see the things that you will miss the most
