"Rocky Racoon"

This song that The Beatles made was basically to describe how the Wil West was when someone messes with their girl. Its basically saying that a guy who dated a girl was taken away by another guy and he gets angry. So he goes finding this guy to take revenge by a shooting him in a draw but the other guy beat him to it and shut him first. Men in the Wild West were not as friendly and were always up to the challenge. Now and days we think of it as simply cowboys who goes shooting random people in a small town. In the real Wild West it was kind of like the song goes because back than when they called it "Wild", which meant wild literally. The other half was that in the west mining was another thing that occured during the Wild West.

I Agree to Blogging!!!

I think blogging has helped me a lot because sometimes I like to do a little more than just writting it down and not really think about it and blogging actually keeps me thinking of the subject. Blogs can actually teach you how to type faster so when you go to college you are ready to type abd take notes on laptops instead of writting in paper. Blogging also helps students take notes in ways that makes it more fun such as to play games like the Oregon Trail and watch episodes such as "Gunsmoke". They sound like things that wouldnt teach you but it actually teached me ways of viewing learning in a whole different perspective.

When you get to college many students are used to using laptops and blogging is an excellent start for when the time comes. Blogs can also help students speak what they have in mind in a creative way such as simply by doing some research for facts and pictures that makes it seem interesting. Sometimes you might not like how the teacher might be teaching a subject but you go to the blogs with questions and you might find it more amusing and maybe look up different perspective of that topic. Blogging can also help you in grammar as to when you need to write an essay or maybe you want to expand your knowledge by typing in the correct way of the english format.

I think that we are all a requirement to doing blogs just for the fact that its easy, educational, and simply better than writing on paper. Some students would also agree that when you blog you get things much faster because some students actually type faster than to write on a piece of paper. Blogs can also be fun such as the fact that it can be used to describe something that you would like to share from a topic that you have in mind. Sometimes blogging can be a time to relax and maybe just to practice your writing by just talking about your life like a diary. Even famous people use blogging to let their fans know about a concert or a movie that they will appear in.

African-Americans during Reconstruction

When Reconstruction started many African-Americans were fooled with unfair treatment and not as much right as a white man gets. Reconstruction occured 1865–1877, at the time in the South. They created the ammendments such as the 13th which allowed to abolish slavery. Although this was a good sign for African-Americans the Black Codes intended to secure a steady supply of cheap labor to continue to assume the inferiority of the freed slaves. This still did not help as they were still black people who worked in plantation for their masters.

Black people thought that they were finally free thanks to the law but white people did not think of it that way more as an opportunity to bring the invention of sharecropping. Sharecropping is basically no difference to slavery but they just get back a small portion of food and profit. With lots of work they must do what the landowner tells them to do such as to plant, harvest, repair, etc.. The farmers went down and easy into paying debts from the little pay that they win from all the hard working they put in. They actually tried to keep working more and maybe things will get better once their pay their debts but it just cause them even more problems such as health.

The US Civil Rights Movement began from 1955–1968. Its purpose is to basically is to outlaw racial discrimination against African-Americans and to restore suffrage in the southern states. After the Reconstruction ended things became still the same such as to vote were the 15th ammendment grants every man to vote yet the society denies it because of racism which is still occuring even after the Civil Rights Movement. This were just making black people more frustrated towards white men as they are still not treated equal to one another. During this time heroes such as Martin Luther King Jr. stepped up and spoke out the insanity of how black men are not treated equally. He worked to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience by just simply speaking about it.

Immigrants welcome to USA!!!

I think that they must have felt terrible that they had to leave their old lifes and start living a new one in a whole different environment they are not familiar with. When they got there they must have felt they were barely any air because it looks really over crowded with people. They also look like they did not have many clothing and look dirty as if they were homeless. I think the US were taking advantages towards the immagrants as to not grant them probably not much to what they could have afford them.

Pen & Paper vs. Blogs!!!

I think they both have their advantages because when you blog you actually think about the subject more than just simply writting it down on paper. If its in paper it could help when ever you need to study without needing a computer. They both help me a lot espeacially in test like the one of the Ammendments which I made a blog about one of them and took notes of the Ammendments. If I have to pick one is blogging because i think its a lot more fun and theres always a way to like print it out if need for studying.

My Favorite Topic!!!

The one were you create a six word story was the best for me. It was kind of challenging but I like things that makes me think a little. Once you made one you feel so proud of yourself for doing a job well done that many people might have not even bother in attempting it. Mine was "Chat with me, End of You" which is awesome because I got it from this episode of George Lopez how theres perverts out their that chats with kids than wants to meet them so they can rape them and kill them at the end.

Change the way of Teaching

We should teach students the truth about the history of the United States. It shows that not everybody is perfect yet USA is still big and powerful even though they failed sometimes. This should be included around the world for all to know the good and the bad of their country but still proud to get over it and still come out strong. It is also important to know the whole truth of history so it can go on and on that even strong countries can fall sometimes and recover from it.

"The Song of the Shirt"

These workers used to sing this song for some entertainment although the song is very sad. They sing about how they are put to work and wok the whole day and not getting enough money. They dont get much sleep from all the stitching that even when they sleep they dream of working. They were treated as slaves basically because they still lived in poverty. Even though they had it bad they sang this song with all their might.
