Day 1 analysis "The Kite Runner"

Today is the beginning of the analysis of The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

 

In chapter 2, the speaker gives a description of each main character. His childhood friend Hassan is an innocent and loving child. He and his father Ali ar Shi'a Muslim, they dont revolve around violence like the Sunni, which is the speaker and his family. Ali and Hassan stay in a hot on the speaker's property. The speaker comes from a wealthy family, and his father is a business man. Saraubar, Hussan's mother, doesn't claim neither her child no Ali as her husband. She has no respect for them because of their imperfections, Hassan with the cleft lip and Ali with paralysis and being unable to have movement in some muscles.

 In chapter 3, the speaker talks about his strong and brave his Baba is. Baba is athletic and strong.

Poetry Day 1

 Today in AP, half of the class recitd some ther poem by Maya Angelou. I personally believe that everyone did amazing, even though they stumbled on some lines they did the thing. Their posters were lovely, especially Shane's and Z'Kia's. The poems weren't too short or too long, but they all held a meaning that I could relate to. The overall scene of each poem was great, the other students were very creative with their posters. I'm doing my poem recitation tomorrow so fingers crossed and prayers up that I do well.

Powerful words

 Today in AP, we had a huge discussion on a well known word used by the A.A. community. The discussion was to determine whether or not it was okay for whites and even our own race to u this word, and if so or if not then why. I honestly believe that using this word within the black community has a positive connotation to it where as when whites use it its said in a way to demean our culture and bring us down back into the older days where racism was worst than it is now. I often use this word but not in a repetitive form like some other A.A. people do. We also read a poem based on this and after reading, what I got from it was that the use of the N word holds a lot of power behind it when it is used against us.
