FINAL BLOG AND PAPER
Well, unfortunately This final Blog portfolio was late. I was surprised top see it slid in in between the final and also surprised it was due because of the lack there of material covered however, to give an overall view of blogging, I have to say it was interesting it actually got me more into just writing little bits of things down but i dont prefer to sahare with the world but overall it helped get me to write more.
The Final Papaers
These were really a great expierence for me. I really feel that i have learned a lot about bringing my writing to a college level. Plot summary and character analysys aree things of the past now and I have Dr. Jerz to thank. Overall i was pleased with the course however i feel that a whole lot of constant struggles need to be eliminated such as due date confusion and bogging us down with multiiple assignments at the same time. But none the less thank you very much.

Western Girls
To begin it wa sincredibly tuff to get into. I really enjoy westerns and this just doesnt fit the norm. Cowboys were tuff they didnt have time to get all wrapped up in MELODRAMA. It have always thought melodramatic was a derogitive term and this play helped to affirm my previous judgement. Another problem that i had with this is the way they present the west as much softer than anything i have ever saw. Overall just dissapointed and not looking forward to discussing this piece as i have very little interest.

Dubois
Dubois called for major reform. he made all kinds of claims about how the times would keep blacks down unless they revolted into forcing their acceptance amongst the country. However it is important to note that he did not truly identify with a lot of poor blacks. His message excluded them from the plan, though it can be argued that it only excluded their impoverished state no true plans of his were domonstrated in the selections we read. Therefore his ideas's are all well and good but with out the structural plans behind them they become less authoritative. The combination of partial acceptance and no real backing of plans leads me to believe Booker T. had it going correctly.

Booker t. Washinton
After the discussion in class i believe that although we did not reach a definate conclusion that Booker T had the right idea at the time. He was trying to work out a plan that had real structure to it. His rivals talked about larger reform and made him sound as though he wasnt truly a thinker for his people. However Booker T. encouraged his people to go get jobs and to start working. This would be the best advice for any one during the time period. Obviously this was more difficult for blacks however the push for employment would have definately helped his culture. Basically He had The plans to back up his ideas and the structure and likeability to complete his goals which he eventually did.
