Plato's 2 Chariotees Free Will

    In my article it talks about free will really ins't really free. From my perspective that's what I understood from my reading. "I’m no more free to make that choice than I am to make any other choice.”  To me this sounds like the other agrees with the idea that there is no such thing as free will because things will always affect our choices. In conclusion there was never a things such as free will of choice.

Martin Luther King Speech

- He makes his speech sound well prepared.

- Tends to make the "Negros" (as he states ) lives stand out and shows the discrimination and retaliation that they have faced.

- Uses metaphors  like a sea of poverty its not a real see but it can explain what he meant.

- He has credible sources such as the United States Constitution.

- In a way he tries to make people and politicians feel guilt about the promise they made when they singed the declaration independence.

- He refers to justice and equality as if it was some divine power.

- He sounds like Ghandi that believed that no violence could bring peace and he is sure to include that in his speech.

- References  a lot to progress and a better future.

- He demonizes the Jim Crow laws and tries to have the audience think bad of them by using kids as possible victims to this un-justice.

- "Can and will change"- he tries to have people look forward to something with determination.
He makes a pause after every important sentences and lets the words sink in

The World is my library

The Sing Of The Beaver is one book considered by me because I read this in 5th grade. At first I remember I thought it would have been boring but as you get into the book it talks about a friendship between a boy Matt a pioneer and a Native American. I actually found this interesting was that 2 people from 2 very different worlds where able to connect and become friends.

My second book would be old yellor. This book I have read in 6th grade English honors. The book is about a family of a mom son and daughter. The father has left to go on the oregon trail and he leaves the family to come back when everything is ready for them to come. The son Travis finds a dog an old yellor which he becomes fund to.

My 3rd and final book would be Moby Dick the story of a captain who loses his leg to the great white yellow that is supposed to be bigger than an island. The captain ends up dying in his attempt to get even with the whale. I read this book in 7th grade for an English class book report. I found it interesting because the Captains hatred leads him to his own downfall.

American Literature

 I was taught American Literature back in elementary in my 5 grade Honors English Class. There my teacher Mrs.Toress said it had to do during the colonization of the US so it was mostly pioneers and what they lived through. We would read books that had to do with pioneers claiming land and maintaining it. I think we can all contribute to it because American Literature is American History so in 50 years from today another kid could be reading our own blogs and it could be considered American Literature.
