What I learned in third quarter in English 9

" What I learned in the third quarter of English 9/10

This quarter is Ms. Priester’s 9^th /10^th grade English class we have learned about symbolism, allegory, poetry, imagery, figurative language, primary source, and secondary source. We have also learned about the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in 1963. We use blabberize to explain to the readers what has happened or what is going on in the story. We have group discussion to make sure that everyone in class understands what’s happening. We have started to make more graphic organizer to make our work much easier. Learning theses things have helped me out me learn things and understand things a lot better.

School is cool!!

“American History” Experience with Discrimination

When I was 11 years old my casa took me out to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. I asked my waiter for shrimp fried rice and water and he told “you know there’s a soul food place down the street you know?” I was really upset and offended because most black people I know eat soul food and he only said it to me. He laughed as he walked away with our order. I told my casa that I didn’t appreciate what he said and I would like an apology so she asked to speak with his manager and told him the situation. The waiter didn’t say sorry so me and my casa left. It made me pretty angry because I didn’t know adults could be so harsh to kids. Later on that mouth we went back and found out that the guy was fired. We felt that justice was served.

“American History” Memorable Day Paragraph

When I was 14 I was enrolled to a P.E.T program. (Pre employment traineeship) I had to work at a preschool with kids who where like three, four, and five. When I first started working there I hated it because one of the kids threw my phone in the toilet, but later on I learned to like it. I had to work there for eight weeks Monday through Friday for four hours. I didn’t like that idea because it was during summer and I wanted to hang out with my friends. I worked most of the summer but in the end I was happy because it gave me something new to do and I got to help out little kids. I will always remember that day because when I finished the program I got a paycheck for one-hundred and ninety dollars out of two hundred!!

My Reaction to JFK’s Death

John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s death is a problem but also not a problem. He was an innocent man who became president of the United States and believed in the civil rights movement and was trying to make a change in the world we live in today. He was sitting in the back of a car during a parade and was shot in the head while sitting next to his wife. When he arrived at the hospital he was pronounced dead. His death didn’t really impact me because I was not alive during this time. The death of JFK shows that some people who believe in the right thing may get a bad consequence or just end up dead.
