A guy wants his daughter to have a better education, but he says she will lose touch with her blackness. I don’t really understand that. We learn in schools about important inventions, people, etc. I don’t know about back then but it didn’t matter if they were black or white. In schools today are they being racist or are the schools just trying to teach what they think is important? At least for the school I went to, it was head up by predominately all whites, would I have been taught differently if there was diversity on the board?
I have always wondered what is going on in the minds of the people that hate another race. Why do people hate and did something cause this to happen? I don’t agree with why he just decided he needed to hate someone so he picked the black race. Some questions I was asking while reading this story are the following .Why the black race, why does he have to blame another race or another person? Is it his choice that he decided to hate the black race instead of anyone else or is it because his father was in the KKK so he followed in his footsteps? Did he decide to hate the black race, because of how he was brought up?
I think that it is so wrong what this story is implying. It is saysing that since women don't stay at home with the kids and clean the house that men are leaving their families. Men in different families play different roles. In one family the father could be the stay at home parent or in another family the father could be the only one working. In any way the family works both parents are needed for different things. Dad's do certain things in the family and so do moms. Both parents are needed to raise a child or children. I think the problem is that couples aren't talking before they get married about the way they want to raise a family or even live. Also couples don't realize how much of a responsibiliyty marriage and raising a family are. So I think that is the problem, it isn't because of men and women aren't still playing the roles that they used to in the past.
This poem really brought out in me alot of emotion. I really like this poem, because it shows that people with AIDS are just normal people. They didn't do anything wrong to get this disease. It is just somethng that happened to them and they didn't deserve it. The poem shows that these people are really missed when they pass away and the quilt is a little part of him that the family can keep with them.
in this story I think Bebe snapped, because the one girl said that her father made her a dollhouse. Since she doesn't have a good father figure around she snapped at the little girl. A father and mother play big roles in their childrens lives. Bebe had a biological father who stopped and visited from time to time, but she didn't have a dad. A dad is someone sho helps thier child and is in their childs life. I feel bad for Bebe , all she had was a father who would stop in a few times. I now realize how lucky I am to have both of my parents.
In the story they are saying there are more shows that have couples or at least one person on the show that are gay or a lesbian. Shows should be comong out with these kinds of people on them. That is the reality, there are people that are raising families and they are gay or a lesbian couples. More shows should come out with people like this, because it is reality that these sort of things are happening.
