Civil rights struggle

The Jena article was shocking. I never knew that something so small can be blown into something a whole lot bigger than it really was. One fight turned into an attempted murder case. They way Mr. Bell was treated was far from right. No one shoudl have been put through that for something that was a lot smaller than it actually was. I think the Little Rock and the Jena incidents are similar in some ways. Both stories had students being treated unfairly. All the students in both of the stories are suffering because of somethign that some people do not accept.

A class divided

I think when this ideology is compared the othe film A Class Divided then it is true. Many of the third graders believed that when they were named in the superior group that they were better because of them being superior. They did better on the phonics tests when they were the better part of the class. When they werent superior they did not do so well. They did not care if they were better for other reasons like wealth or the privilige that they have. It was all about the talent and their skills with the test that they took. So, yes the ideology can be true.

Civil rights movement

I think MLK's ideas were most effective in many ways. Malcolm X had many great ideas and he wanted everything to happen no matter what it took for change to happen. In ways it did work but in other ways that got them into some trouble most of the time. MLK's ideas were more realistic and he knew if he did stand up for himself then there would be trouble. So he decided that if everybody just took everything in and had no violence then the change would start. He was right, when some people would get mad at him and became violent with them and they just stood there and took it in and had no comment or even did anything back. Then there would be a bigger effect on people and the civil rights movement. Malcom X had the idea that violence stopped everything but that wasnt the truth at all. At the end of the day MLK's movement was more effective in the civil rights movements.

I Am

I am different
I wonder if they know how i feel
I hear the anger in their voices
I see the rage in their eyes
I want to be accepted
I am different

I pretend i'm okay
I feel scaared
I need to be strong
I worry i will fail
I cry everyday
I am different

I understand i'm not the same
I believe in faith
I dream of a change
I try to be optimistic
I hope it will pay off
I am different
